When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

A tariff β€œrefund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

I clearly see the Supreme Court's tariff case differently than legacy media. If you appreciate independent, news, information and analysis and want to support pro-democracy media, sign up for Democracy Docket. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

GERMAN PRESIDENT STEINMEIER:

β€œ.. the United States has broken with the values that it helped to establish ..

β€œ.. we have now moved beyond the stage where we can lament the lack of respect for international law or the erosion of the international order; we are far beyond that, I believe.”

Trump’s self-serving takeover of D.C. public golf is bad news for all It’ll fit perfectly in a worldview where the price you pay is the only arbiter of how much you are allowed to enjoy yourself.

Tweet from Really American stating that Senator Andy Kim questioned FCC Chair Brendan Carr, prompting Carr to admit his oath was to the Constitution, not the president. Below is a C-SPAN video still showing Kim speaking at a Senate oversight hearing.

I’ve only posted one GFM, and it’s my intention never to post another. But this one is close to my heart. I know the family personally and have visited with them countless times. If you can help out, it would be great. If not, I completely understand - but a retweet is free.

Maria Shriver, niece of JFK:

He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial.

C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

Trump’s backing splits European far right The Alternative for Germany party wants legitimacy from Trump to end its isolation, while France’s National Rally sees him as a liability.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s overtures to the European far right have never been more overt, but the EU’s biggest far-right parties are split over whether that is a blessing or a curse.
