AlterNet Crooks and Liars Daily Kos (Note: these articles are from RSS News Feeds websites, and are deleted after 30 days, April 18, 2025 at 7:11 AM EDT I hardly even know what to think about this: Republicans in Congress are considering increasing taxes on the rich as a part of Yambo's "big, beautiful bill" of ambitious legislative priorities, something that spits in the face of longtime Republican dogma. Via The Hill: The discussions are in the early stages, and lawmakers say it is possible that no tax hike makes it in the final legislation. But the once-inconceivable consideration of tax increases underscores the tricky task that Republicans have in meeting competing demands from fiscal hawks, moderates and tax slashers for the ambitious party-line bill -- as well as the rise of populist instincts in the party. April 18, 2025 at 7:11 AM EDT I wrote most of this post earlier on Thursday, when Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) had twice been denied access to Maryland resident Kilmar Abrego Garcia. This, despite his illegal deportation to El Salvador's notorious torture prison in what the Trump administration had called an "administrative error." It was beyond suspicious that El Salvador, the Trump administration and the Republicans were doing their best to keep Abrego Garcia hidden. The fact that he was finally allowed to meet with Van Hollen suggests that the pressure is working. Still, we need to know what conditions Abrego Garcia was previously held under and whether they have improved since Van Hollen shone such a bright spotlight on an apparent plot to keep him disappeared. April 17, 2025 at 11:00 PM EDT Australia's The Juice Media with their typical acerbic take on politics, in this case, the upcoming Federal election in Canada, otherwise known as Not America. Open thread below" April 17, 2025 at 10:00 PM EDT Though U.S. President Donald Trump temporarily paused some of his "Liberation Day" tariffs for negotiations, a nonprofit firm and legal scholar still sued him and other officials on Monday on behalf of five import-reliant small businesses, asking the U.S. Court of International Trade to "declare the president's unprecedented power grab illegal." Ilya Somin, a Cato Institute chair and George Mason University law professor, announced earlier this month on a legal blog hosted by the outlet Rea son that he and the Liberty Justice Center""which has a record of representing libertarian positions in court battles""were "looking for appropriate plaintiffs to bring this type of case." April 17, 2025 at 6:21 PM EDT Liz Warren was describing how Democrats plan to box in Republicans on the tariffs by using a vote on the emergency authority for Trump's tariffs -- which, as she points out, is supposed to be with Congress. "Well, the power he's using is an emergency authority that says specifically Congress, of course, can say, hey, there's no emergency. We're not in an emergency with Belgium. We're not in an emergency with South Korea. Congress can then just roll that back. April 17, 2025 at 6:21 PM EDT This guy was giving me bad flashbacks to the bullshit we went through with the Bush administration, only worse. Welcome to the thought-police. Here's Sebastian Gorka on Rob Schmitt's show on Newxmax this Tuesday, basically accusing anyone who is unhappy with what's happened to Maryland man Kilmar Abrego Garcia of aiding and abetting terrorism. April 17, 2025 at 6:00 PM EDT by James E. Garcia, Arizona Mirror April 9, 2025 If there's a through line to the first months of Trump 2.0 it's the president's penchant for trying to disappear his critics, enemies and the fast-multiplying targets of his disdain. April 17, 2025 at 2:37 PM EDT In 2019, Donald's campaign introduced new LGBTQ Pride merchandise through its website. Everything about the 'man' is an act. Nothing is real with the former reality TV show star. Who can forget Donald standing on stage with an 'LGBT for Trump' pride flag? Most of us knew it was all a lie. And now Donald thinks he is king of the world, making demands on other countries. Donald is now using his tariff tantrums to demand that the UK drop its hate speech laws that protect the LGBTQ community under the guise of 'free speech.' April 17, 2025 at 2:07 PM EDT Numerous Big Law Firms struck pathetic deals with Donald Trump to provide tens of millions of dollars of free services to his chosen causes and promise to do away with their internal DEI practices. You know, hate-filled defenses of things that they would never normally do. Some of the firms include Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins, A&O Shearman, Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, DC Firm Cadwalader, Paul, Weiss and even Skadden, Arps. April 17, 2025 at 2:07 PM EDT Former reality TV star and Secretary of Plane Crashes Sean Duffy went on Fox Business to discuss the shortage of air traffic controllers. He blamed the shortage on retirements: We have too many controllers that retire after 25 years of service. And so we have to look and go Is this a national security issue? Is this a safety issue and should these air traffic controllers be retiring after 25 years of service? April 17, 2025 at 2:07 PM EDT Co-host of Trump's favorite morning show Ainsley Earhardt shared a disgusting Pete Hegseth story on Outnumbered after Fox News clown Joe Concha tested the five second rule of dropping food on the floor and then eating it. A microbiologist on Tik-Tok performed the 5 second test and concluded no time on the floor is safe to eat food from. But JOe Concha grossed out his panel members by counting to five and then eating a big banana. April 17, 2025 at 10:52 AM EDT Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told a raucous crowd in the red district of Bakersfield that Trump is a convicted felon and he should take a look in the mirror. AOC: Bakersfield, this is a matter of fact. |
