MSNBC first canceled Joy Reid’s 7pm show and sent Alex Wagner to the gulag; now Katie Phang’s show has ended today.
Smooth move, Rebecca Kutler, making MSNBC the Trump Network. America doesn’t need another Fox! CNN has already gone that way.

Trump is pushing #AI into classrooms as early as kindergarten.
"[W]e can ensure that every American has the opportunity to learn about AI from the earliest stages of their educational journey through postsecondary education, fostering a culture of innovation and critical thinking that will solidify our Nation’s leadership in the AI-driven future."
I am sure his tech-broverlords are thrilled about this.

Someone just spent $8 million on $TRUMP memecoins after the president announced that the top holders would be invited to join him at a private dinner at his DC golf club.
The purchases were funded by a Binance account, suggesting the wallet owner is not based in the US.

For the press pool:
President Trump, you’ve been subject to quite a few lawsuits over the years, civil, criminal, many instances.
You’ve arguably been afforded more due process during your career than any other person in the country.
Is it not important in a Constitutional democracy that others are protected by the same rights as you?

As all academics know, you can't ask this question in a job interview.

But I guess it's OK when it's not a job interview, when it's the govt asking, and the govt includes a high-ranking official who gives #Nazi salutes.
This happened at #BarnardCollege. Probably no accident that Barnard is affiliated with #Columbia. Trump officials said they had a right to the personal contact info, and the school handed it over.

Folks, please don’t be so hard on Labour.
It’s not easy laying the foundations for the UK’s upcoming fascist government. (The Democrats should know; it takes dedicated effort.)
They’re working as hard as they can as it is to ensure the UK follows in the footsteps of the US.

I'm (German) no longer following news in the USA closely. I know exactly what will happen since the day that facist won the election. The USA is a too strong country for anyone outside being able to help. For me to know if they first come for Hispanics, Blacks, trans, gays or Hillary, doesn't matter. They will come for all of them.
