Michael Steele and friends notice the natives are getting restless. I wonder if the GQP is noticing as well. (Longish)

===

Oops. So much for another one of those campaign promises.

Another woman with balls standing up to the Bully in Chief.

Thank Dog for small mercies.

x This is a good moment to thank the federalism gods. States choose their election technology, not the federal government. In blue states the read out will be GTFO Elon. And given how toxic he’s getting probably in a lot of red states too.

just putting this here. No reason.

WT Actual F? America is now the shakedown artist of the globe.

x Wait. It gets worse: "The new document states that the revenues will be directed to a fund in which the United States holds 100 percent financial interest, and that Ukraine should contribute to the fund until it reaches $500 billion....The US has allocated $119 billion for aid to Ukraine."

Well, shit.

I repeat. Well, shit.

x This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Nancy Reagan must be spinning in her grave so pleased...

x Trump: "We have now hired a couple of the best agencies and we're gonna spend about $150m, maybe $200m, on advertising saying that when you take certain drugs -- the drug fentanyl, etc - it destroys your skin, it destroys your teeth, it destroys your brain...I think we can drop it 50% by doing this"

Thank you Gov. Mills and thank you Bangor Daily News. Janet Mills shows how to stand up to Donald Trump. www.bangordailynews.com/…

If elected officials are looking for how to stand up to President Donald Trump and his illegal bullying threats, they should look to Maine Gov. Janet Mills. Trump blasted Maine and Mills at a White House event for the nation’s governors on Thursday because the state has refused to change its policies on transgender student athletes. Trump threatened to withhold federal funding if the state did not prohibit transgender athletes from participating in sports based on their gender identity. “You’d better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funding at all if you don’t,” Trump told Mills. It was unclear if he meant federal funding for education or all federal funding that comes to Maine. " I’m complying with state and federal laws,” Gov. Mills said when asked by Trump if the state planned to comply with his order restricting transgender athletes. Trump then said “we are the federal law.” No sir, you are not the federal law. Congress, not the president, writes and amends the laws of the United States. Congress, not the president, allocates funding to federal agencies and programs. Federal courts are upholding these core tenets of our democracy as Trump seeks to undermine them. ✂️ Mills has shown leadership and bravery in standing up to Trump’s bullying and his demands to follow his orders rather than state and federal laws. It shouldn’t be brave to pledge to follow and uphold our laws. Mills stood up to Trump, but more importantly she stood up for the rule of law. This is what is essential for stopping the worst of Trump’s harmful threats and actions.
