Democrats ask what happened to millions earmarked for Trump’s library ABC, Meta, Paramount and X reportedly agreed to pay at least $63 million in settlements with the president. The original fund was dissolved last year.

Looks like Trump pocketed the $63 million in settlement money that was intended for his presidential library.

Everything is going great.

This doesn’t sit right. 💔

If people ate crops directly instead of feeding them to animals, the global food supply could increase by about 70% - enough to feed another 4 billion people. 😮

Another word you might use for it is "looting".

In 2026, America has entered into a Golden Age... for one person and his cronies

Early progress reported in Medicaid plan for foster children North Carolina’s new Medicaid plan for children in the foster care system has enrolled more than 32,000 young people, and state and health plan officials told lawmakers Tuesday they’ve cut the average time to arrange a child’s placement from 45 days to 16. The update came during a meeting of the General Assembly’s Joint Legislative Oversight Committee on Medicaid, where officials from the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services and Healthy Blue Care Together — the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina subsidiary administering the plan — gave their early progress report on the Children and Families Specialty Plan launched in December. The plan is designed to provide integrated physical and behavioral health coverage to children and young adults who are in foster care or have previously received child welfare services. It is intended to replace a patchwork regional system in which children were served by local managed care organizations whose coverage didn’t automatically follow a child when they moved across county lines. “There was no one source of health care for these children,” said Melanie Bush, interim director of NC Medicaid. “Now that we have a statewide plan, Healthy Blue Care Together is able to manage...

NEWS: Democrat Shawn Harris has forced a runoff in the special election for Marjorie Taylor Greene’s deep-red Georgia seat (Trump +37).

With ~70% in, Harris leads with 38.3% to Trump-endorsed Republican Clay Fuller’s 34.5%.

Runoff set for April 7. A major warning sign for MAGA.

Anthropic Sues the Administration Here's why Trump wanted to bring firms to heel with his executive orders. Here's what can happen when he fails.

One of the law firms Trump tried to intimidate with an executive order is representing Anthropic in court. Here are the details of the two lawsuits against the government after DOD tried to blacklist the developer of Claude AI.

I sooooo agree...

This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?

And what the hell is Kushner, with no nuclear expertise or wartime knowledge and in spite of a flaming conflict of interest from his $2 Billion+ Dollar financial ties to Saudi Arabia, doing as a U.S. "negotiator" in a potentially world-altering war? Ask your Congressman/woman, What the Actual F?

Why do Americans hate each other while Canadians love each other? Could it have something to do with our politics? With the sociopath in the Oval?

A Pew survey found that 53% of American adults describe the morality and ethics of our fellow citizens as “bad.” Meanwhile, in Canada, 92% say their fellow Canadians are good while just 7% say they’re bad.

Why are we Americans so down on our fellow citizens?

Since Trump’s election:

🔵 Democrats have flipped 28 state legislative seats

🔴 Republicans have flipped 0

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

1/ Here's what I can share:

Trump won't say if he'll send armed agents to the polls. So Dems are suing to find out “Trump wants to bully and cheat his way through a midterm election that he knows Republicans will lose, but we won’t let him,” DNC Chairman Ken Martin said.

JUST IN: Dubai billionaire Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor released an open letter to Donald Trump, saying U.S. actions have put the Gulf Cooperation Council and the Arab world in danger. He said the region is strong enough to defend itself, but questioned who gave the U.S. the right to turn the Middle East into a battlefield.

Our government keeps telling us America can't afford universal health care or expanding Medicare for ALL. There's a reason for that.🗽

Federal Judges Are Slowly Realizing They Can Treat Trump Like Anyone Else Federal judges have been reluctant to hold the Trump administration in contempt for violating court orders. Now, they are getting impatient.

The Trump administration has shown that it will keep violating court orders until courts force it to stop. Judges are starting to remember their responsibilities to enforce the rules by which everyone else must abide. ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Like I said. Not our friend. Never was. Russia understood the assignment. Manipulate America through exultation of white supremacy and dude bro culture wars.

Yes. Let's name them Trump Concentration Camps.

Lewis Bollard @Lewis_Bollard Hidden on page 744 of the farm bill the House Agriculture Committee passed Thursday is a provision that would condemn millions of pigs to a lifetime in gestation crates. Rebranded the 'Save Our Bacon Act,' it's a pork-industry play to wipe out every state law banning the sale of pork from crated pigs — laws the conservative Supreme Court upheld in 2023. Over 85% of Democrats and Republicans oppose these crates. Voters have backed ballot measures to ban them in state after state. The pork industry knows it can't win a straight vote on this. So it's burying the provision in an 800-page bill and hoping no one notices. Contact your senators and representative today and tell them: oppose the farm bill unless the Save Our Bacon Act is stripped out. You can reach them at http://senate.gov and http://house.gov — it takes two minutes and it matters.

This is hideous and horrible, and the people pushing for it deserve to spend the rest of their lives in a cage.

Oh Mathias. I'm so sorry darling.
