Hugo Lowell is reporting that Trump said he will be making an announcement at 10am ET tomorrow in the Oval Office about the first trade deal since his tariff plans went into effect.

Trump says it will be with a “BIG, AND HIGHLY RESPECTED, COUNTRY”

A lot of people are joking, but I fear he will announce lifting sanctions on Russia.

Iraq combat veteran here, Gold Star dad of another Iraq combat veteran, his little brother is a veteran and my dad is an Army veteran. No need at all for a REALLY expensive military parade just because the FOTUS (a/k/a Mr. “I always wanted to get the Purple Heart”) wants one for his friggen birthday.

The news is trying to pretend that Trump’s surgeon general nominee that he withdrew today was somehow more qualified than the quack he replaced her with. Fuck off. She lied about her medical school, residency, board certifications, and experience. She was absolute trash. The new nominee is probably also MAGA trash, but let’s not pretend the fraudster was in any way a decent nominee to lead our country’s health.

New in PN: Maine fought the law, and Maine won

"After weeks of public fulminating, the administration quietly folded and quit trying to steal kids’ lunch money for the grievous sin of letting a couple of trans girls play sports. It’s a reminder that Trump, like any bully, can be fought and beaten."

MEEKS: Do trade deficits constitute a national emergency?

BESSENT: Yes

MEEKS: Do you know that for the last four decades we have trade deficits and nobody said it was a national emergency?

Kari Lake announced that Voice of America will carry news content from the right-wing One America News Network. VOA staffers are outraged and said this violates the government-funded news broadcaster's congressional mandate. My latest for the Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/2025/05/07/oan-voice-of-america-one-america-news-kari-lake/

Senior Trump regime adviser Kari Lake appears to have resolved any doubts about what she wants to do with the Voice of America.

Lake seeks for it to look and sound a lot like the far-right One America News Network: on Tuesday night she announced that she had struck a deal to serve up the pro-Trump outlet's news reports for Voice of America's foreign audiences, at no taxpayer cost.

Well, the useless fuckin' #SCROTUS knuckled under to the pus-bag they gave immunity to, yet again. This time it's about Transgender military. I don't know the legal details---AND I DON'T WANT TO, MSNBC. All I need to know is that once again, Lady Liberty sits in her cell at Alcatraz and weeps.

In each case, if you watch the videos (which I've been posting) you can see the crowd at the town hall is on the side of the person being removed.

This is speed educating millions of Americans who voted for Trump. Leopards are out in force eating faces, and GOP behavior about town halls is doing more than any Dem messaging ever could to show people: the Republicans could not possibly care less about you.

Horrifying as it is, this is what has to happen. Reality is catching up to propaganda.

A commenter on the MeidasTouch YouTube channel has a suggestion

While the yanks are locked out of the world market, now is the perfect time to completely phase out imperial measurements

🇪🇺 The EU plans to legally end all Russian gas & LNG imports by the end of 2027, including a ban on spot deals by 2025. The move aims to cut energy ties with Moscow and boost alternatives like U.S. LNG.

#Canada’s Prime Minister #MarkCarney has arrived at the White House. He was greeted by #Trump.

The pair will meet in the Oval Office this afternoon, their first in-person interaction, where they will discuss #US – Canada relations. #Carney & Trump have spoken over the phone since Carney was elected as prime minister.

And the #IdiotInChief literally just posted this nonsense:

Everyone needs to vote out climate science deniers!

Most modern heat pumps have a sound rating of about 60 dB which is the same volume as a conversation between two people.

District of Oak Bay, near Vancouver, Canada, has passed an anti-noise bylaw amendment banning heat pumps because they're too loud. 😢

"Woman says security guard at Liberty Hotel in Boston confronted her in bathroom, asked to prove gender"

"For gender nonconforming, lesbians, women in general, being harassed in public restrooms is a tale as old as time. I do think the surge in national anti-trans rhetoric is contributing to an increased policing of women's bodies and their expression of gender"

And this is where it leads. Well done to the UK for choosing this path, bravo ...
