A battle is brewing between the president and one of his hand-picked justices.
Two Transgender Girls, Six Federal Agencies. How Trump Is Trying to Pressure Maine Into Obedience.
—
Maine said it wouldn’t break state law to follow President Donald Trump’s order barring transgender girls from playing girls’ sports. Then came a barrage of investigations and threats targeting the state’s federal funding.

As I posted earlier, Johnson said it would pass.
“Speaker #MikeJohnson on Tuesday succeeded in a high-stakes House vote to pass #Trump’s plan to fund the government into the fall, overcoming far-right opposition as the GOP scrambles to avert a government shutdown Friday at midnight.”
Interview: Trump's "Bully Lie" is from the autocrat's handbook.
"Bully lies" are so blatantly false as to be impossible to believe.
Their purpose is to force people to publicly choose between truth & slavish public obesiance to the autocrat.
Choosing truth publicly marks one as "enemy of the state".

I'm speechless after this back and forth with the #intel sharing, #militaryaid, #ceasefire proposals, etc.
Which is why I wanna hear from you - how do you see the situation?
With the breaking announcement that #Ukraine agreed to a plan for a ceasefire on the way to resolution of the war, it's worth reviewing what just happened:
#Trump, the world's greatest deal maker, torpedoed his own not very good deal because he couldn't shut up for 5 minutes and had to pick a fight with #Zelenskyy in front of an international audience.
And then, once his idiotic face was out of the way, the real adults sat down and actually made a worthwhile plan to sort things out, really showing that Trump was nothing but a problem and will continue to be nothing but a problem, even when it comes to his own cabinet members who will have to work around him to save him from himself.
At least, this is the breaking news, but Trump supporters are celebrating the announcement, but they're too damn stupid to realize that the thing they're celebrating actually puts them to shame for supporting the guy.
Trump's mind is gone. The question is whether the people around him will put up with it, and for how long.

When House Republicans vote for this rule today, they will also be voting to support #Trump's tariffs and all the resulting damage to the US economy #TrumpTax
