Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.

And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.

Remember this.

Interesting @markjacob.bsky.social point here: Why not more stand-alone stories with heds like "Trump Is Dismantling Democracy"?

"Such a headline would be easy to support with facts that the NYT and other major media report in isolation every day. They’re simply afraid to hit the total button."

Trump Administration to Begin Refunding $166 Billion in Tariffs

“only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money…the millions of Americans who paid higher prices are not able to apply for direct relief”

Yep - the place to seek lasting relief is, as ever, at the ballot box.

It's notable that Sen. Ossoff is pressing this attack in a tight re-election fight in a purple state. The rest of the party needs to pay attention.
