MS NOW: Trump's Justice Department is moving to scuttle lawsuits and investigations for a string of proposed corporate mergers.

Trump appointees have overruled several moves by career attorneys.

Experts fear this interference could raise prices for consumers for years to come. https://t.co/PWN1qBjzV3

Olympic kayaker Davey Hearn's lawyer:

"Today Davey Hearn pled not guilty, because he is not guilty. If Mr. Hearn can be charged with a felony for touching the Reflecting Pool, every American is at risk, and every American should be alarmed about this prosecution. This indictment reflects the administration's effort to scapegoat and to shift blame for their own failures."

MS NOW Exclusive: Senate Democrats want to know why the FBI is requiring hundreds of intelligence analysts to perform records checks related to the 2020 election probe in Georgia.

"This misuse of taxpayer dollars … is negligence and abuse of power of the highest order." https://t.co/367FIQrsSz

"Now Trump has figured out how to exploit existing government nonprofits as a clearinghouse for cash, letting corporate donors buy their way into his good graces while the public is left guessing who paid for what — and what they got in return." https://t.co/6p4Pc0TmKZ

At the NATO summit today, Trump claimed the U.S. was under attack from the "Islamic Republic of Japan" and confused Zelensky for Putin.

Let's be honest here: Trump has clearly lost his mind.

We just hit a harrowing milestone. There are now 1,000 hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics that have closed or are on the verge of closing since Republicans gutted Medicaid and the ACA to fund tax cuts the wealthy.

Billionaires over patients. With deadly consequences.

Judge Kaplan:

“In the last analysis, defendant has been stalling this case for years. A jury unanimously concluded that he sexually abused and defamed plaintiff and awarded her damages accordingly. The judgment on that verdict has been upheld on appeal. En bane rehearing has been denied. The Supreme Court has denied certiorari without dissent. It is time for him to "do equity" and pay the judgment.”

From @RICurrent: Electric bills usually drop during the summer due to more favorable market prices, but this year, seasonal rate reductions for Rhode Island Energy customers were offset by higher fees and the expiration of one-time discounts.

In 2022 Twitter was caught lying when it collected people's personal data under the pretext of security but then used it for ad targeting.

We held it accountable through an @FTC consent decree that required it to take basic steps to prevent data abuse, like limiting employees' access to people's sensitive data.

Now Musk is asking the Trump administration to terminate the consent decree, suggesting that US leadership in AI requires allowing X to deceive people about how their data is used.

This important filing from Secretary Chopra explains why Musk's petition should be denied.

Studies now present a striking picture of what happens when private equity firms acquire hospitals and nursing homes: predictable increases in harm and deaths. One landmark study shows: patient deaths up about 11% after such acquisitions.

Donald Trump Jr became an owner and advisor to a company that wants to ship guns through the mail

…but that’s been illegal for nearly a century

…so his father just rescinded that rule

…to help his company.

It’s not a coincidence.
It’s corruption.

@kylegriffin1 Was there a new allegation?

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

DOJ is ignoring a court order. The Judge should act swiftly here, since there is simply no excuse. As we’ve said before, a party that doesn’t like an order can appeal it. But they can’t just ignore it. https://t.co/BKUIvE2ncu

Gavin Newsom goes off on the Trump Family corruption:

Newsom: And I’m not talking about the $100,000 watches. I’m not talking about the guitars that he’s selling that you didn’t even know about, or the Bibles, or the sneakers. I’m not talking about all that.

I’m talking about what’s happening substantively with these kids and these investments, and the Pentagon contracts they’re receiving on rare earth minerals and drone companies, and all the stuff that’s happening with the Kushner family, the Witkoff family, the “Board of Peace,” which is about getting a piece of the Middle East.

Let’s talk about the UAE and high-value chips, where they’re getting a piece of our national security, where the Biden administration held off. But as long as you can get a deal done with the UAE on the private family businesses, then all of a sudden national security becomes less of an important talking point.

Or how about the tariff relief in places like Vietnam for the golf courses and the development deals, and the dozen other countries that he’s doing business in? How about all the corruption as it relates to the self-dealing with his resorts and all of his assets that the Secret Service and taxpayers are subsidizing? Or directing G7 investments? Or the emoluments issues across the spectrum every day? Or just the day trading literally behind the Oval Office desk, or showing up on your calendar at a company that you just invested in because you know that stock’s going to pop because you’re going to promote it the next day?

All of this happening—this open sewage system. You talk about draining the swamp. He gave it a presidential suite with gold leaf.

And you’re seeing this gross corruption at a scale and scope never before seen in modern American history. This is stuff I don’t even imagine exists at this scale in a year and a half, even in Putin’s Russia or Kim Jong-un’s North Korea.
