Three Supreme Court Justices were on board?!?!?! INSANE.

[Democracy Docket @DemocracyDocket]

BREAKING: The Supreme Court rules 6-3 to strike down Trump’s bid to eliminate birthright citizenship as part of his attack on immigration in all forms.

The ruling affirms unanimous lower court decisions that blocked the effort for violating the 14th Amendment's Citizenship Clause.

Let me tell you what just got reported, because you will not believe it until you see it laid out.

The Trump administration cut a billion-dollar tungsten deal with Kazakhstan. Tungsten is the metal we need for missile warheads, fighter jets, and computer chips. Trump himself got on the phone to close it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked it from the inside, sending letters, leaning on the Kazakh president, lining up as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing.

Within weeks of those negotiations, investors tied to a firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took a 20% stake in an entity connected to the very same Kazakhstan project their father was negotiating. Around that same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Lutnick’s own sons, raised $210 million for a partner in the deal and pocketed the fees.

The fathers set the policy. The sons cashed in.

Six days after the Trump sons and their partners moved their money, Lutnick signed the final deal.

The reporting found one or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies working with the government on critical mining deals.

The total federal funding flowing toward those companies tops $8.9 billion.

This is your tax money.

It is supposed to secure our supply chains and protect our troops, not pad the portfolios of the President’s children and the Commerce Secretary’s children.

This is the most corrupt administration in American history. It is not close.

We must keep digging, and keep asking the questions they do not want asked. Republicans in Congress are unwilling to lift a finger. Mike Johnson is running a protection racket.

Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

New research from @nytimes finds that the US government is actively doing "critical minerals" deals with FOURTEEN different companies that have financial ties to the Trump and/or Lutnick families - deals worth around $9 billion in all:

NEW: “It is general knowledge in our practice that for $2 million, you can have a pardon,” a prominent defense attorney told me. Others said $1-2 million is the going rate, though clients were offering *many* times that amount for challenging cases. @michaelscherer @TheAtlantic https://t.co/5KL2vV3HEn

Trump is using tens of millions in taxpayer money meant for national parks to fund his desired projects, including White House paving stones he had promised to pay for, documents obtained by @michaelscherer show: https://t.co/mx4IiZTrVW

Trump in March when asked who would pay to change the pathway from his home to office from Tennessee flagstone to polished African granite: “Paid for by me.”

Documents obtained by @michaelscherer: Paid for by National Park Service — and taxpayers.

This is pretty hard to square with everything he’s said about pretty much all the previous presidents — including when many of them were presidents. And the vast majority of people who applaud this are surely hypocrites too. It’s fine not to respect presidents. They work for us.

They’ve arrested more people for touching the peeling paint at the Reflecting Pool than they’ve arrested from the Epstein files.

We could build high speed rail with trains traveling at 200mph between Boston and DC and still have enough money leftover to double the national school lunch program with the $132 billion that just 100 days of war against Iran has cost the American people.

The Reflecting Pool is a perfect metaphor for the Trump administration:

- Ignore experts and science
- Overspend
- Declare early, historic victory
- "THE LEFT HATE THIS"
- Ends in total failure
- Unfounded conspiracies about sabotage
- MAGA pretends it doesn't actually matter

This is correct but I think it applies to basically all "libertarians"

[Joey Politano 🏳️‍🌈 @JosephPolitano]

Andreesen is the worst kind of libertarian, the one who believes only he should be exempt from the rules

If the president personally banned his company's newest product with 0 warning, he'd throw the biggest hissy fit in history, but he cheers it on when it happens to others

Elon Musk held up a chainsaw, fed USAID into the wood chipper, and at least 600,00 people have already died as a result - two-thirds of them children.

History's first trillionaire.

[Citizens for Ethics @CREWcrew]

Trump’s White House UFC fight this weekend has required more than seven federal agencies, hundreds of staff working onsite daily and at least $60 million, according to a legal filing.

Quite a use of government resources for fight night. 🤔

It's weird that contact just below the neck can be described after replay as "above the neck"

@HPbasketball If it just *feels* like a pass, can you knock it away from above the rim while it's coming down? Is that how the rule is written?
