Itβs important to remember there are two scandals here:
1. The Administration has likely committed war crimes.
2. But the entire operation - which now includes two dozen attacks - is illegal. In our democracy, the President CANNOT wage war without the consent of the people.
The EU has slapped a fine on Musk's X because it is untransparent and supports deceptive practices. Nothing to do with "censorship."

Hey, NYCers!!! Iβm on @spectrumnewsny1.bsky.social Inside City Hall talking mayorβs race and related stuff with Manhattan U. Prof. Margaret Groarke. Around 7:40-ish (repeat at 11:40)! Hosted by the incandescent @errollouis.bsky.social!
For reference the New York Times was among the outlets that declined to publish hacked materials from the 2024 Trump campaign www.cnn.com/2024/08/13/m...
It is absolutely insane that the New York Times is granting anonymity to famous extremist race science activists in order for them to launch political attacks. More than the anonymity, the complete lack of relevant context here is egregious.
If racial preferences are good for the goose, they should be good for Uganda.

This resolution is important. People should pay attention to it. 1/

I could tell you the Constitution limits a president to a maximum of two terms
But then, it also states that all persons who reside in America are entitled to due process and enshrines birthright citizenship as foundational US law
And this also means nothing to Trump
So draw your own conclusions
β.. Heart pounding, he called his father, John Yates, shocked that Trump's administration would take such action.

Rubio says a database of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia that was compiled by Yale researchers is safe and will be handed over to the proper authorities. US lawmakers had feared someone had deleted the database during Trump's funding cuts. Story: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/u...
