The White House ballroom lawsuit just escalated. The preservation group suing Trump says DOJ made multiple “false statements” in court and delivered this brutal line: “All of this may be standard fare for a social media post. But in a federal court filing, it is neither appropriate nor permitted.”

How could Gavin Newsom do this?

The most powerful force in American politics today is anti-establishment fury at a rigged economic system. To counter Trump’s culture wars and fake populism, progressives must mount a real battle against economic elites who have rigged the game — and shafted millions of working class people.

Old enough to remember @emptywheel.bsky.social pointing out the FBI 302 where blackmail was mentioned by a survivor who overheard Epstein and Trump discuss it, and how that same month, Kash and Bondi put out their memo closing the probe and adding that there was no blackmail. Seems blackmaily.

Multiple women serving sentences for nonviolent crimes at the minimum security prison where Ghislaine Maxwell is now serving time were punished for speaking to reporters about the special treatment Maxwell receives. At least two women were transferred to higher security facilities as punishment.

As I've been anticipating, Cole Allen is moving to recuse Todd Blanche and (especially) Jeanine Pirro. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Excited to live in a country where you can mail someone a handgun but not an abortion pill

This story is WILD. Juan Orlando Hernandez, the Honduran ex-president pardoned by Trump for narcotrafficking, seemingly caught on tape in dozens of conversations (if true), discussing plans with GOP and other figures to attack left-wing governments, and saying Israel paid for his pardon from Trump.

EXCLUSIVE: In 2022, a Georgia grand jury investigated Trump’s alleged interference in the 2020 election. It heard from more than 60 witnesses. For years, the full record of what those witnesses said under oath has remained hidden from public view. Until now. www.lawfaremedia.org/projects-ser...

Trump was supposed to have an on camera event with the president of Brazil at 11:15am today. It is now nearly 2pm. The president of Brazil is at the White House. But nobody knows what's going on.

still thinking about that Goldman Sachs “analysis” that predicted we would be at 120% of normal traffic in the strait of Hormuz by now

Gas prices rose 37% in the last year because of Trump. Had enough yet?

Had enough yet?

Every journalist should be asking what the hell is going on with this guy's health that they aren't telling us.

House Oversight Dems on Howard Lutnick's interview on his ties to Epstein: Rep. Yassamin Ansari called Lutnick a "pathological liar." Rep. Suhas Subramanyam said Lutnick could not remember why he visited Epstein's island. Rep. James Walkinshaw called the interview "part of the ongoing cover-up."

Global oil reserves are being released at record pace, all to keep oil around $100 a barrel. This isn’t sustainable, and the administration has no plan to reopen the Strait.

YouTube has removed one of my videos because I reported that women can still access abortion pills. I shared *factual & medically accurate* information about women's health—yet the platform says I'm "facilitating the sale of illegal drugs"

UAE: Air defense systems responding to 6th missile threat.

Another UAE alert, number 6

Trump’s escalation just backfired. Iran has now struck a major UAE oil port, along with hitting multiple ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Now? No ships are moving. A critical oil hub is burning. And we are waiting to see if full hostilities resume.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - British military says a cargo ship is ablaze off the coast of the UAE as it warns of Iranian attacks. @apnews.com

Trump threatens to kill 90 million people. Just a typical Monday in this administration.
