Can you imagine if President Biden made the same demands to a private company? May 28, 2025 at 11:18 AM EDT Donald J. Trump always assigns nicknames to his perceived adversaries. Still, Wall Street traders have one for the co-president over his repeated tariff spasms, which make the market dive, then come back after he inevitably caves. Trump's nickname is TACO, an acronym for "Trump Always Chickens Out." Australian economist Justin Wolfers appeared on MSNBC , telling Nicole Wallace that Trump's tariff policy "nearly lasted one entire long weekend." May 28, 2025 at 11:17 AM EDT Tell me if you have heard this story. An immigrant comes to America illegally, but does all the right things: stays out of trouble, gets a job, has a family, pays taxes. He decides to support Donald Trump because he is one of the "good immigrants" and Republicans are only going to get rid of the "criminals, rapists, drug dealers and murderers" and you will be spared. Until you are not. May 28, 2025 at 11:16 AM EDT Here's how they're covering the Trump administration's full out assault on Harvard these days, where they've been going after everything from their tax-exempt status, to enrolling international students, to you name it. Trump spokesliar Karoline Leavitt made an appearance on Fox's Hannity this Tuesday, and lamely tried to justify Trump's ongoing attacks on any institutions that might dare to stand up to him, while pretending Harvard has "LGBTQ graduate majors." May 27, 2025 at 11:00 PM EDT Our telescope technology keeps improving as Gizmodo illustrates. The Sun is a magnificent beast that produces nuclear fusion which is called proton-proton fusion that occurs within the Sun's core that produces the energy and heat for our planet. May 27, 2025 at 10:00 PM EDT As one Twitter user put it, "Obama being ~more~ Irish than Vance is hilarious." Yes, it would be. And maybe Vance does have Scotch-Irish ancestry, as he claims. But researchers going through extensive records back to the mid-1600s just couldn't find any evidence of that. Source: The Times May 27, 2025 at 9:00 PM EDT One of the many chilling ironies of the war on abortion is that the states most insistent on women having babies, no matter what, are also the ones with the least to offer those babies once they’ve had the bad luck to be born there. And it’s important to understand that these states are getting increasingly insistent on women having babies, no matter what. May 27, 2025 at 8:00 PM EDT If Paramount Global, the parent company of CBS News , settles a $20 billion lawsuit brought by U.S. President Donald Trump, it could face another lawsuit from a leading press freedom organization. The Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF), a Paramount shareholder, notified company executives in a letter on Friday that a settlement with Trump "could amount to a bribe" to the president and his administration "for their approving and not impeding" a merger of Paramount and the entertainment company Skydance. May 27, 2025 at 4:23 PM EDT Donald J. Trump pardoned tax cheat Paul Walczak after his mother, Elizabeth Fago, attended a Mar-a-Lago dinner that cost her $1 million to attend. His mother's support for Trump, including raising millions of dollars and a connection to a plot to publicize Ashley Biden's diary, was cited in Walczak's pardon application, The New York Times reports. Now, Walczak won't have to pay nearly $4.4 million in restitution and will not serve 18 months in prison after the healthcare executive admitted to stealing money earmarked for his employees' taxes to fund a luxurious lifestyle, including a $2 million yacht, travel, and purchases at high-end retailers, including Bergdorf Goodman and Cartier. May 27, 2025 at 2:31 PM EDT The Wall Street op-ed board, ridiculed for years for its flights of right-wing fantasy, has been shocked somewhat closer to reality by the second Trump term. In today's op-ed, they call for the Republican senate to buck Trump and pass sanctions against Putin. Via the WSJ today: Mr. Trump may be the only person in the world still surprised by how Mr. Putin is behaving. The Russian is the same man he's been for two decades, bent on reconstituting as much of the old Soviet empire as he can get away with. Ukraine is his obsession. He's not going to modify his ambitions merely because Mr. Trump alternates between begging for peace and scolding outbursts on social media. May 27, 2025 at 2:31 PM EDT They'll lie about anything if it pushes their narrative that Cadet Bone Spurs is the one that really loves the troops. Trump made a visit to Arlington Cemetery for Memorial Day, and he managed not to insult everyone there by wearing a MAGA hat like he did during his rambling commencement speech at West Point, but he was just as disrespectful during the Memorial Day ceremony, attacking judges and Biden during his speech, because he's incapable of keeping politics or his own petty grievances out of anything he does. May 27, 2025 at 12:51 PM EDT Donald announced his latest pardon on Truth Social, a MAGA Sheriff who accepted more than $75,000 in bribes. As usual, Trump blamed Biden's Department of Justice, even though former Sheriff Scott Jenkins of Culpeper County, Virginia, took the bribes in exchange for appointing numerous Northern Virginia businessmen as auxiliary deputy sheriffs within his department. A jury of his peers found him guilty, and he was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison after he was convicted of conspiracy, honest services fraud, and bribery last December. |
