“Canada is becoming the abused wife that Trump is lashing out at because things are going so badly at work. His hopes and dreams are crashing: The midterms look bad. His leg is caught in a veritable bear trap in his Iran War. So he goes home and beats up his wife, or in this case, lashes out at Canada. It’s another case of executive self-soothing oddly akin to what got Trump into Iran in the first place.”

Because he's a rich, well-connected Republican criminal.

Only people who have little money and few connections go to jail for committing crimes when the GOP is in charge.

For Republicans, the rule of law is meant to force working class people to submit, while protecting the rich and powerful.

"Paxton—who has been #Texas attorney general since 2015—has acquired 15 properties worth $9 million in states like Utah, Hawaii, Florida, and Oklahoma, all on a #government salary while in the midst of both a #Senate run and a divorce.

...Paxton, who has echoed #Trump ’s concern with voter #fraud, voted using an address he didn’t reside at in six elections in two years."

I look at the changed trajectory of EV sales in countries that have been lagging behind post-Republicans' latest Middle Eastern war as a good sign that there has been some massive, permanent demand destruction for fossil fuels, except coal but that's short-lived.

Also, there has been a lot of new green fertilizer investment since the Strait of Hormuz was closed too.

MURPHY: Will you make public the amount of money you're spending to upgrade Trump's new plane? And second, can you commit to this Congress that the committee isn't going to take this plane with him when he leaves ?

HEGSETH: Its investment is classified. And that's not a decision for me to make

Do not travel to the USA.

Not for work, not for a conference, not for a vacation, not for a festival, not for your son's college graduation, not for your daughter's wedding.

It's not worth getting "detained" (getting locked away in a concentration camp).

Do not travel to the USA.

At the one earlier in March, #Trump wore a baseball cap that is for sale on his business’ website. And just days later, his PAC used a photo of that dignified transfer in a fundraising email. It featured Trump saluting with a flag-draped transfer case, which holds the remains of a soldier, in the foreground.

"#German prosecutors have charged a 15-year-old boy from #Bavaria with allegedly planning a #terrorist attack against a #synagogue after investigators found that he had stockpiled a large quantity of #pyrotechnic materials.

The indictment was filed with the juvenile division of the #Augsburg District Court, the German newspaper Augsburger Allgemeine reported.

The teenager faces several charges, including preparing a serious act of violence endangering state security, intentionally possessing #explosive materials without authorization, causing an #explosion and inflicting dangerous bodily harm."

Charles Simmons, the father of 28-year-old Tech. Sgt. Tyler H. Simmons, told NBC News “that was not something we talked about.”

While Simmons had some kind words for #Trump & #Hegseth — & made clear he didn’t speak for other families — he said he had not urged them to keep fighting the #war.

“No, I didn’t say anything along those lines,” he said.

WATCH: @the_real_erin_brockovich tells @theovon about the damaged caused by a “closed-loop cooling system” — which is what DC Blox plans for the data center by the Nashville Zoo 🤔

They keep implying there’s nothing to worry about. Obviously false. @nonewdatacenters

Call to Shakespeare lovers:

When The day comes that the British PM agrees to visit the WH, headlines will shout:

“Nearly 100 American service members injured in multiple Iranian airstrikes on bases in the Middle East region this month…”

Pointless. Needless.
