  6. #Canada struck back at #Trump Tuesday with #tariffs on about $20 billion worth of #US goods, in response to the latest round of #TrumpTariffs on Canada.

  10. The show of force appeared aimed at not just ferreting out anyone who may have shared information, but intimidating others who might do so in the future, acc/to people with knowledge of the effort.

    …The scope of the investigation is without parallel. Mass #polygraph tests have never been administered to the top ranks of the #US #military in modern history.

  11. But #EricSwalwell is an enemy of sorts to the #Trump admin. For years, the #Democrat has been one of Trump’s most visible political antagonists, having served as a manager in the president’s second #impeachment trial. Deputy Chief of Staff #StephenMiller has called Swalwell a “scumbag” on national TV. And #FBI Dir #KashPatel …described him as one of the “corrupt actors of the first order” in his 2023 book, Government Gangsters.

  16. The posts were Trump’s most explicit efforts yet to direct the #FCC to carry out his wishes. FCC Chair #BrendanCarr, a Trump appointee & close ally, did not respond to request for comment.

    #Trump posted a long missive Sunday about what he described as mischaracterizations of his endorsement record in primaries.

  17. Treating the #FCC like his own personal enforcer, #Trump said on social media Sunday that #NBC’s #KristenWelker would be “reported to the FCC for rebuke or punishment” over a TV segment he didn’t like.

    In a separate post, Trump complained in all caps about “fake polls” & said “something must be done about it,” adding, “FCC to the rescue!”

  19. The #FCC, led by its chairman, #BrendanCarr, called for an unusual, early review of the broadcast licenses last spring, citing ABC’s internal diversity & inclusion practices. None of the #ABC licenses, which have terms of 8 years, were up for renewal yet. Carr’s decision came after the ABC late-night host, #JimmyKimmel, angered #Trump with a monologue joke.

  20. #ABC owns & operates 8 local stations that carry its programming across the country, including in major markets like NY, LA & Chicago. Like all local stations, they can only operate with licenses controlled by the #FCC.

    ABC’s lawsuit asks a federal judge to halt the early review of its licenses on the grounds that it violates the #FirstAmendment.

  21. There is disagreement, however, among senior #US officials over whether to proceed with attacking the militant group.

  28. The 3 highest-ranking #RomanCatholic clerics who lead archdioceses in the #UnitedStates said in a strongly worded statement on Monday that America’s “#moral role in confronting #evil around the world” is in question for the first time in decades. Their critique of the #Trump admin’s principles — while not mentioning Trump by name — escalates the American Catholic Church’s denunciations of the country’s top leaders.

  31. Trump turning America into #MafiaState

    The pattern is inescapable with 1 caveat: #OrganisedCrime bosses occasionally display honour

    Behold Donald #Corleone, US president who behaves as a #mafia boss – but without principles

    One hesitates to make the comparison, as Trump would like it. And because the Godfather is archetype of strength, macho glamour while #Trump is weak, constantly handing gifts to America’s enemies & receiving nothing
