When Trump signed the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement in early 2020, he called it “the largest, most significant, modern, and balanced trade agreement in history.” But - he flipped. Again. Now? More uncertainty. Again.

I know how we can "work on the problems in them that make us/them hate Trump." How about he starts abiding by the rule of law? Of course, then they will not be able to diagnose and lock away outspoken citizens in former mental health hospitals.

Oklahoma restricts oil field wastewater injection within a half-mile of public water wells. Regulators have let companies do it anyway. But in the city of Enid, officials are pushing back against one of the state’s biggest industries.

A small but influential group of defense-minded Republicans wants to extract concessions from the Trump administration on American defense of Europe. I wish them well doing their job. Trump doesn't like helping Europe with defense, and his word carries.

A federal judge says that the administration’s attempts to block money for the $16 billion rail project were “flagrantly” illegal. But then, so many of the felon's actions are just that.

The Trump administration plans to limit scrutiny of polluters and shift financial risks to the rubes - er, taxpayers.

The Trump administration has embraces new policy changes that benefit private fire aviation companies. I probably don't need to tell you that these policies go against standard firefighting practices.

In his Crypto businesses, Trump locked in profits while his investors were socked with losses. It helps when you are in position to quash a federal crackdown on the industry.

Birthright citizenship is explicitly enshrined in the Constitution of the United States, making Vance's position literally and blatantly un-American

“A threat is when someone tells someone else that they’re going to do a thing to them, and there’s nothing in the email of what I will do to him,” says David Streever after experiencing the same treatment from ICE.

David Streever, of Rochester, was on a trip to Finland when two officers showed up to his home last week and presented his wife with a warning notice informing him that an email he sent months earlier was a threat. This is highly illegal. Think about it.

Why would the Supreme Court want a government run by a single person? Oh, right: because using taxpayer money to help your own friends and family is easier without those pesky checks and balances.

Speaker Mike Johnson has struggled to corral his fractious GOP lawmakers and now it is only getting worse. The far-right wing wants to deliver for Trump but no matter what Johnson tries, and no matter how much Trump exhorts, they can't agree.

This man just WILL NOT take 'no' for an answer. You cannot legislate a change to the Constitution without ratification by the states. He probably doesn't really care that much about birthright citizenship except the Courts turned him.

The Supreme Court ruled that the executive order issued by Trump at the start of his second term violated the 14th amendment of the constitution. They should have asked: what if Obama did this? Would it have been so difficult to strike down such an Order?

Americans always had an understanding of American citizenship and how it is granted. Now, three conservative justices have given weight and legitimacy to fringe theories. As if we needed more government by fringe theory.

Our President gave Iran all the hand, and now, they are playing it.

Astronomers accuse him of making exotic claims with little evidence. Steve Desch, Arizona State University astrophysicist who has challenged some of Loeb’s theories, said he uses flawed methods to reach wild conclusions about alien life. He'll fit in well.

Trump makes announcements that are easy and fun, and they tend to have a political payoff. But the political payoff decays over time, especially with little or no improvements.

RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz’s harsh new rules “punish those who cannot fend for themselves,” Democratic officials argue. So officials in 25 states and Washington, DC sued the two over their policy.

Gen. Christopher Donahue heads into early retirement as the defense secretary seeks to root out MAGA disloyalty. This is corruption at its worst.

For nearly a century, the Supreme Court has made it difficult for a president to defy the clear text of a law passed by Congress. Think about that for a minute. Then ask, why now?

This young child survived a kidnapping attempt. It is difficult to imagine that Americans are OK with ending TPS.

In Venezuela, the regime is equipped to obstruct & repress its people - not aid them. The quake has highlighted this, and kidnapping their president caused political disarray that makes response difficult.

Trump had asked the justices to intervene after a jury found that he had sexually abused and defamed the writer E. Jean Carroll. They said, "Nope."

The mobile history exhibits weigh in squarely on one view. Visitors, for example, learn inspiring stories of enslaved people who overcame odds, but not about men, women & children who endured violent and inhumane conditions.

He did not have a hand in crafting it, so he cannot take much credit, so those young families who want to join the middle class can just go for a dip in the reflecting pool.

"Agency leaders would be reluctant to engage in regulatory or enforcement actions without coordinating with the White House for fear of termination,” wrote Lauren McFerran formerly of the National Labor Relations Board.

The Constitution has served us well for 359 years. It is the envy of the world. And SCOTUS threw away one of the stronger aspects of it today, upending settled constitutional law in favor of Trump's ‘loyalty test’.

This is a relief. They will not be able to track us. It is annoying when Google does it, but at least those companies cannot arrest me and send me to jail.

The Sister was only released because Congresspersons from BOTH parties & the Diocese called for it. America's masked and lethal secret police are not even TRYING to find criminals anymore. They just roam the streets, all-powerful, snatching who they can.

Ken Paxton is a total disgrace. The guy collects scandals like baseball cards—indictments, impeachment, affairs, investigations, the whole package. If chaos were a résumé, he’d be Employee of the Month EVERY month. Texas deserves better than this bargain-bin Boss Hogg.

There's been a broad decline in patriotic sentiment over a period that included most of Donald Trump’s first term. That timeframe also covers Trump’s return to the White House, where he’s taken more aggressive actions on immigration and issues abroad.

I think it is very kind of the Supreme Court to give the next Democratic POTUS more power. With any luck, maybe it will be a Black or Brown POTUS - a WOMAN, even, who can use all those powers.

GOP senator Bill Cassidy said a “foundation of lies” had shaped Kennedy’s health policies. This was the same interview where he also accused Trump of treating Congress as an “appendage.”

Aaron Rosen, president of the World Affairs Council of Miami. If there’s a head of state in town, “We usually know about it.” Turns out these guys from Turkmenistan were looking to make a deal on a golf course.

It's North America's busiest land crossing. The Canadian government & Michigan jointly own it. Across this bridge comes many of the products we need. Canada agreed to front the cost of construction & split the toll fees, but that wasn't enough for Trump.

When we think about signs of wealth today, "we think about cars and handbags or real estate," said Dana Connett of the nonprofit Historic Annapolis. But two hundred and fifty years ago, social class defined the food that colonists and the enslaved ate.

Photos from Pride Month are always encouraging both for their sheer joy but also for the resilience and bravery of the participants.

Prediction markets suggest the U.S. Republican Party may lose both houses of Congress in November. (Blame the Iran war) Anyone can see his bumbling is the cause of it all.

Researchers argue that while presented as politically neutral, many of the initiatives teaching civil discourse offer a backdoor for conservatives to push universities to the right. Some are funded by groups like the Koche Brothers, which explains much.

Senator Cassidy said of a recent White House meeting, "The president was berating the four people that voted for the War Powers Act, frankly, I’m not there to be berated."

Sen. Bill Cassidy says that he is not sure Trump grasps that Congress “is a separate body, separate from the presidency.” And who is to blame for that, Mr. Cassidy?

This is chilling. ICE is not commissioned to do this kind of work: no agency is, in fact. We have the right to express ourselves.

By comparing today’s temperatures to historical norms, the tool illustrates how today’s hot weather truly is a sharp departure from the past, and a glimpse of the future.

Moved by the sense that the medical debts their neighbors faced were deeply unfair, members of Trinity Moravian, no matter their politics, write $25 or $50 checks to pay off the bills. Other nations find funding by tax dollars more consistent.

Does nobody ever ask what we can do to help create a kinder, more gentle society? Or do we just make policy that threatens, define actions as illegal, and build more jails?

Corruption is who we are now. While Congress slumbered, the wolves opened the door and sauntered right in.

The president promised to save “Black jobs,” but his policies have resulted in fresh pain for the Black middle class. (gift article)
