"I think this will help a lot with elections" —
#TrumpAdmin asks Supreme Court to allow new limits on mail ballots:
As ~"part of a high-stakes push by... #Trump & his allies to put fresh limits on voting ahead of pivotal #elections where control of the House and the Senate is at stake" ~
~"A divided (appeals court) panel... upheld a federal judge's block on the order, finding that it would 'sow confusion' and 'threaten disenfranchisement of many eligible #voters.'"

The reason behind Trump's current blanket #tariffs (supposed concern about forced labor) is completely 110% bogus and here's proof.
From the horse's mouth (as reported by CRS) back in February of this year:
"If the Supreme Court rules that other tariffs imposed by the second #Trump Administration are illegal, the Administration may increase its use of Section 301..."
(The #TrumpAdmin imposed current blanket #tariffs under Section 301)

Trump imposes forced labor duties (#tariffs) on 60 trading partners* ~
U.S. #Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said:
"Today's action will begin to correct what is both a human rights abuse and distortive trade practice to improve the welfare of workers everywhere."Wow what gall
#MyThoughts* There is a link to the notice from the Federal Register in this article. The #TrumpAdmin claims to have made 60 investigations.

Update:
NYT is saying that #trump is imposing blanket #tariffs on "over 80 countries," not 60 like Bloomberg had previously reported.

#MyThoughts –
The reasoning seems like an excuse to re-impose blanket tariffs because:1) It's unrealistic that the #TrumpAdmin investigated 60 countries' supply chains in depth in such a short amount of time, nevermind found forced labor in all of them.
2) When his blanket #tariffs were struck down by SCOTUS, #trump commented that his admin would figure another way to impose blanket tariffs.

Sure there can be fraud in all of these things, absolutely. But the #TrumpAdmin is casting an awfully wide net on very specific states (which happen to be blue) without presenting evidence of widespread fraud.

State & local health depts face critical staffing shortages from layoffs & hiring freezes, while #CDC "suffered a 'brain drain' of...expertise (from) #TrumpAdmin's efforts to take an axe to federal spending," losing ~1/4 of employees in 2025.

The #TrumpAdmin argued there is no #ConflictOfInterest since trump's investment accounts "are handled by third-party financial institutions."
#MyThoughts –
Nonsense. #Trump will still be earning revenue from his posts as he directly influences #trading #markets. He is also not divested from those investment accounts, even if they are handled by financial professionals. He knows what companies he invests in & could drive up those stocks accordingly with his posts. -
Trump to profit directly off his social media posts –
As his 'Truth Social' platform CHARGES TRADERS TO GET FASTER ACCESS TO HIS POSTS that influence #trading #markets 🚨
"In a world where high-frequency traders capitalize on fractions of seconds, such a service would give an edge to those willing to pay Trump's media company."

Ms. Brouillette said her former husband shouldn't have been hired to work in #immigration enforcement. "He has mental health issues...short-tempered...reactive...should be in treatment."
The #TrumpAdmin "recruited thousands of new #ICE agents over the past year...(and) appears to have cut training requirements."
At least 23 people were shot at by federal immigration agents around #USA since last year. Six died, including 3 #US citizens.

~"This is not the first time the #TrumpAdmin has threatened election administrators with jail time. This month, the #DOJ sent letters to all 50 states and the District of Columbia threatening criminal prosecution if election officials counted any ballots cast by noncitizens in upcoming #elections. Last year, senior Justice Department officials began exploring whether they could bring criminal charges against state or local election officials."

#DHS Secretary #Mullin threatened local election officials w/ prison time if they didn't comply w/ the #TrumpAdmin 's efforts to change #election policies, "while reiterating many of...Trump's unsubstantiated claims abt the security of American #elections.
~"Mullin pledged to 'dig in just a little bit deeper'" than a #trump prime-time speech where he claimed w/o evidence that "American elections were rife w/ 'hacking, manipulation & corruption.'"

2) Move over toxic masculinity, now we have lethal testosterone
3) Is this legal?
4) Is this a form of ageism?

6) Will Pete test himself?

"Freedom 250" comes directly from the #TrumpAdmin pushing "faith-based messaging" promoting Christianity & misquoting dead presidents —
Horrifying 😳
Not to be confused w/ bipartisan "America250," "Freedom250" is a "quasi-government group" formed by #trump —
that's behind "freedom trucks" & trump's UFC WH birthday bash...

The arrangement isn't an outlier.
• The families have financial ties to at least 14 companies actively working w/ the #trump federal gov't on #mining deals, incl. #Kazakhstan project
• All 14 companies have benefited from #TrumpAdmin financial offers or have pending permit applications with Commerce Dept that #Lutnick oversees

#USA District Judge Sooknanan (DC) ruled the #TrumpAdmin "violated 3 different laws" with its centralized database of Americans' private & #citizenship info, which has since been used by some states to incorrectly remove #US citizens voter rolls 👀
The judge wrote that the Court "cannot stand idly by" while the #trump admin "knowingly (tramples) on the #privacy rights of American citizens in a manner that threatens the sacred right to #vote."

Sadly, the #TrumpAdmin is still pushing hard to deport #AbregoGarcia, even to a third-party country that he has no ties to and knows nothing about (in Africa, for example).
Still, it's nice to see that the judge dismissed the ridiculous case against him.

Judge Crenshaw wrote:
"Then-Attorney General Robert H.
Jackson warned his fellow prosecutors long ago of the danger of picking the person first and the crime second. Therein is the most dangerous power of the prosecutor: that he will pick people that he thinks he should get, rather than pick cases that need to be prosecuted. That is the situation here."~~~

Trump Administration to Make Green Card Applicants File Overseas ~
Most would need to LEAVE THE #USA and apply at a U.S. Consulate in another country, where they risk losing any legal status in the U.S. "and being unable to return." 👀
This would especially affect #immigrants living in the #US illegally who "gain legal status by marrying a U.S. citizen or having U.S. citizen children sponsor them once the children turn 21."

A lawsuit claims the Agriculture Secretary's work emails proselytized federal employees with frequent Christian-related references like "God," & "Jesus Christ," thus violating 1st Amendment's Establishment Clause.
To emphasize that the #TrumpAdmin couldn't care less and will do whatever it wants, a #USDA spokesperson said, "While we do not comment on pending litigation, we will keep the plaintiffs in our prayers during this process." 😐
