Good on #Brazil. Give #Trump admin a taste of their own medicine.

The US delegation had planned to visit the Brazilian capital & cast doubt on the integrity of the #voting system before a presidential election this fall, officials said.

#Greed & #Narcissism
A New York Times investigation found that #Trump’s push to speed delivery of the #Qatar gifted aircraft led to ballooning costs & trade-offs in safety features.
#Trump was entranced. It was a few weeks into his second term, & he was on the tarmac of the Palm Beach airport, getting a tour of a luxury Boeing 747-8 that had been flown from Doha for his perusal.
Dishonest (Miss)leaders such a #Trump often use misdirection to deflect the public's attention away from their own incompetence. #Trump is publicly somewhat of a (human caused) #ClimateChange denier.
As climate change causes more environmental problems, Trump will try to avoid any responsibility...

#Trump ordered new signs outside a #Smithsonian #museum that warn its depiction of #UShistory is "inaccurate."
Trump claimed the signage at the National Museum of #AmericanHistory would correct what a disputed White House report described as “extreme political activism.”

The #Trump admin also pushed #Canada & #Mexico to adopt a prohibition on imports made by forced labor as part of prior #trade negotiations, & 10 other countries have committed to bans as part of trade deals negotiated over the past year, a senior admin official said.
But critics say the #US, too, has shortfalls on its labor protections. And some say that the admin has seized on forced labor as merely the most convenient way to reimpose #tariffs struck down by #SCOTUS [ya think?].
The #US has arguably the strongest restrictions on forced labor imports of any country. It has prohibited the importation of goods made with #SlaveLabor for nearly a century, though it still allows #PrisonLabor under conditions that labor organizations consider coercive. In 2021, under Biden, the US passed a #law banning imports from a region of China where it had found forced labor to be rampant.
#Canada, which will be subject to a 10% tariff under the arrangement, already prohibits importing forced labor goods. The #EU, also at 10%, has a ban that is scheduled to take effect in December 2027. But #Trump officials say that the governments have not effectively enforced those laws [like they actually care].
The duties will be issued under Section 301 of the #Trade Act of 1974, which allows a president to impose #tariffs on foreign countries that engage in unreasonable or discriminatory trade practices. The #Trump admin has cited the failure of foreign countries to pass or enforce laws banning the importation of goods made by forced labor into their own countries, saying that disadvantages US businesses that do follow such laws.
The move provides fresh evidence of Trump’s intention to transform #GlobalTrade, despite numerous #court challenges & the protests of #US #consumers & businesses that have been stuck with higher #tax bills. Over the past 17 months, the #Trump admin has cycled through #trade #law after trade law as it tries to build a system to shield the US #economy from foreign #competition [it’s called a #FreeMarket, pretty freaking American]
What does the #law mean to a #criminal?
#Trump will impose #tariffs of around 10% on goods from >80 countries Friday, its latest effort to put in place an expansive protectionist policy that has been repeatedly challenged in #court.
The tariffs will range from 10% to 12.5% & take effect at 12:01AM Friday, replacing a global 10% duty set to lapse at the same time. Trump issued that earlier tariff in February, after #SCOTUS struck down duties he imposed last year.
Back in March, the Trump admin boasted that it was getting medical schools to teach nutrition.

“The #Trump admin has raked in about $13 billion after taking over #Venezuela’s oil exports in the wake of its kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro, according to a Financial Times analysis.
But six months later, and one month after two devastating earthquakes, that money is nowhere to be found.”

“Charlie Angus writes:
…during a phone call in early 2025 with PM Trudeau, #Trump threatened to rip up the 1908 Boundary Convention, which officially defined the border division between the USA and #Canada.
Trump was openly bragging about moving the border 50 kms further north.
His message was blunt:
“I tear that up, and your whole country unravels.”
Technically, Canada could rely on previous border commissions from 1818 & 1846 to claim the right to hold the line.. “

Wow.. that is SO bad
White House admits it used keywords to kill billions worth of California research grants
"1. By using keyword searches to review hundreds of grants and terminate them en masse rather than reviewing them individually on their merits, the Trump administration targeted research it found politically disfavorable, which is a First Amendment violation.""2. In terminating 283 Department of Energy grants from states where a majority voted for Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, and leaving untouched hundreds of grants that went to “red” states, the Trump administration wrongly punished researchers for merely living in states the White House politically opposed."
"3. And by terminating billions of dollars in grants, and never rerouting that money to other grant opportunities, the Trump administration violated the constitution by not spending money in ways Congress specifically required through laws it passed on how research funds should be used."
So what happens next?
- will the lawsuit be dropped?
- will ‘national security’ mean that the records suddenly become unavailable?
- will everything go quiet on the Trump front while he hopes it all goes away?
- will the judge be seized by ICE and deported? After all she doesn't sound like an Amercian from Florida.

#Trump is going to have a field day with this —
Roughly 400 #noncitizens voted in #NewJersey after about 6,600 residents were improperly registered to vote between June 2023 & June 2024 because of a software error at the #DMV, Gov #MikieSherrill announced Tuesday.
ALL of the people affected had disclosed that they were not citizens when registering for either a driver’s license or ID, but were nonetheless placed on the voter rolls in error.

“The #Trump admin has killed proposed regulations for sewage sludge contaminated with #Pfas and spread on farmland as fertilizer.
The practice that has sickened farmers, destroyed their livelihoods, killed livestock, polluted water supplies, and poisoned meat and food products sold to the public.
The proposed regulations would largely have ended the use of sludge, also called #biosolids, in the nation’s food system.
But the #EPA tossed out its scientific research.”

I decided not to report this yesterday (Sunday) because it seemed like an empty threat.
#Trump was hosting #Carney for the World Cup final when he went on one of his forest fire tirades.
Trump told reporters that he spoke to Carney about the need to stop #wildfires in #Canada. He said that they should “pay us some damages or something, or we should do some tariffs.”
Ludicrous right?
Except now…
The announcement of 50% tariffs on a range of Canadian goods is the latest economic grenade thrown over the border by an out of control President who has lost touch with reality.
It is a direct attack on Canadian workers and industries, putting thousands of jobs at risk. And it will drive up costs for American consumers, who like Canadian consumers, are already feeling pain at the pumps and supermarket checkouts because of Trump’s illegal war on Iran.
Donald Trump is trying a new, obscure legal basis for this latest attack. If these tariffs go ahead, we must be prepared to fight them with counter-tariffs and put every dollar behind supporting workers in affected sectors. The Carney government must refrain from more concessions.
We are tired of being treated as Trump’s tariff guinea pigs. New Democrats stand with workers, communities and all Canadians in defiance of this newest threat to our economy and sovereignty.
#Trump admin accused of #WarCrimes after strike leaves thousands without #water
[One of the very few times I agree with an official statement from Iran]
“For a state that once cast itself as the global champion of order, liberalism, and the war on #terrorism, proudly displaying images of destroyed bridges and #civilian infrastructure has become its only remaining ‘victory,’” said Esmaeil Baqaei, a spokesperson for #Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on Saturday.
“Yet with the collapse of every bridge, every tower, and every #civilian facility, it is not merely steel and concrete that is being reduced to #rubble. It is #America’s moral standing—along with the entire architecture of #InternationalLaw and the #Civilization claims of the West—that is crumbling before the world’s eyes.”

Dear Americans,
I hope by now you understand #Trump has no intention to accept a loss at the elections.
I hope by now you understand Trump has no intention to leave.
I hope by now you understand Trump is your dictator, he will stay in power until he dies or gets removed by force.
I hope by now you understand that your vote could have stopped him.
I hope by now you understand you are on your own.
