The world might look very different right now if Judge Boasberg had been able to hold contempt proceedings in 2025 & the administration had been held accountable. Instead, emboldened by his success, Trump continues to treat the courts like a game to be played. joycevance.substack.com/p/consequenc...
Consequences
Last Thursday, the White House, almost as soon as Judge Kelly entered his order forcing the administration to restore access to CNN, MSNOW, and Politico, began searching for play in the joints.

It truly seems like Trump is no longer supporting Ukraine in even a basic way. The end of Trump's term cannot possibly come soon enough for the good of democracy around the world, and certainly, for ours. What a shameful period In our history he has been and continues to be.
I’m grateful for the swift signing of this bill & hopeful it will be followed by quick action to implement it. Every day Ukraine remains under a barrage of missile & drone strikes risks more death & destruction on the battlefield&in Ukraine’s cities. www.cbsnews.com/video/trump-...

Surely we have never had such an un patriotic president before.
This ban is one more brazen step to suppress press freedoms & 1st Amendment rights. Trump’s contempt for the Constitution seems boundless.

More than a voluntary system of independent auditors is necessary for AI oversight. It must be a statutorily established regimen, with power to determine whether models & new products are safe & effective, just as independent scientists are authorized to do under the FDA. 1/
Dario Amodei, who co-founded Anthropic, the company behind the Claude chatbot, called for a global slowdown of artificial intelligence development in a 3,800-word essay on Saturday. His appeal for a pause follows months of escalating concerns across the technology industry. nyti.ms/4AatwIK

Trump is using crypto to cash in on the presidency—selling access to the highest bidder & raking in the money from foreign governments. We need strong legislation that ends this self-dealing & corruption—not half measures like the Clarity Act.

Listen purity Dems. Your protest vote or non-vote won't "bring on the revolution" - it will only speed up the end of civilization. I suspect you don't care, which makes you complicit. But if you DO care, please open your eyes and let's get rid of the fascists if we even still can? Thanks, nice chat.
