"Can you play us some Smoke on the Water, man?"
The question I hated, has slowly echoed and ebbed across land and sea to now be verbalized and heard once again, by an annoyed, budding guitarist in a Japanese high school riffing to Freeway Jam by Jeff Beck.
Gold-digger sees an opportunity to steal 10 billion of our tax $ "for charity." Sons are also plaintiffs
Democracy Forward's friend-of-the-court brief: "The case is extraordinary because the President controls both sides of the litigation, which raises the prospect of collusive litigation tactics."

If you watch and share one thing today make at this. Why is every democrat in the country not talking like this?
No apology necessary. It's true that the pope is more off-limits, both physically, being outside of the US, and at a higher, more untouchable level.
I'm sure the vatican has taken steps for even more security (hopefully).
John Prevost is physically in the US, under "Trump's power." As the pope's brother, he is pope adjacent, as it were, and an attack on him, after trump's statement, is an attack on the pope. Mob/maga style.
History is seldom repeated with exact precision.
It takes effort to prioritize trump talking points over reality.
King Henry II: "Who will rid me of this meddlesome priest."
Not long after, his knights assassinated the meddlesome priest.
Trump: "I don't want a pope that criticizes the president of the united states."
It's more unjust than in c. 1980.
Then: Obscure factors ex-US to be blamed, e.g. Iranian rev on fuel supply. Less Left-Right division. More truth in govmt & media.
Now: Incompetent & corrupt US govmt directs flow of $ upward. Obvious. Yields domestic resentment c/ political blame dictated by media

An interesting mix of a reel-to-reel, an acoustic guitar, a fender bass, some keys, a mic with a foam cover, but recent studio monitors and a rack of equipment.
I think David Bowie would approve this message.
King Henry II: "Who will rid me of this meddlesome priest."
Not long after, his knights assassinated the meddlesome priest.
Trump: "I don't want a pope that criticizes the president of the united states."
Massive geopolitical shift. 😲
The Dutch Chief of Defence confirms Europe is actively preparing to sideline the US military.
They are building an independent defense force using cheap advanced tech because they can no longer rely on the chaotic Trump administration.
Orban concedes.
And in that lies a lesson for those rightfully worried Trump will try to deny midterm results: deliver a rebuke so overwhelming there’s no way to deny it.
Congratulations to the people of Hungary!
As we prepare for oral argument in birthright citizenship case, remember every rationale for Trump's position also requires denial of citizenship for many freed slaves, thus undermining main purpose of Citizenship Clause. See my @lawfaremedia.org article: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/slav...

Sorry Krasnov!
The current pause is just to calm the market (and to make some money from insider trading) but if you look at what the military is doing, the push for a ground invasion continues.
Conservative activists are circulating a draft executive order that claims if President Trump declares a national emergency, he would be able to assert sweeping authority over elections. @annabower.bsky.social and @mollyroberts.bsky.social explain why they are wrong.
How many times must history repeat itself?
All the fucking, moronic trump voters take a bow

Here we go.
The crypto lobby ran TV ads & distributed campaign fliers that only occasionally alluded to their industries. Instead, the messaging focused on promises to combat Trump and support liberal policies, a strategy used by other organizations like AIPAC. Voters didn’t fall for it.
It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire.
1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.
