ALL PIPELINES 5/29 - STOP GENOCIDE & it’s not in Gaza/Ecosystem Attack/StandWithUkraine/climate/Human Rights/ProtectSacred

I’m curious what your reaction is to the byline, seriously. I think you’ll see easily why I’m asking by just reading it. Of course, what I keep repeating is what a loser TACO is. Katherine Stewart is Greg Sargent’s guest on his podcast today. The dangerous radical and terrorist is TACO himself and his regime as well as his supporters. Of course, what he's doing is illegal, violating the First Amendment. TACO's audience is the far right. He wants to own the libs. We know that will never happen. I’m rolling in the aisle. The disrespect comes from this corrupt administration, from this moron that has a very poor vocabulary. And yes, I should use "who" but IMO TACO is a that. The TACO is using “antisemitic" for his benefit. He doesn’t give a damn about antisemitism. He’s using it just like he used the hostages’ families that he “invited” into the Oval Office, never having any intention to do anything about the hostages. He uses people. That is fact. - Trump’s Rants About Harvard Get Darker as He Loses a Big One in Court

The last sentence in the opening paragraph speaks volumes. So does the last sentence of the following paragraph. Someone really needs to shut this uneducated convicted felon up. And this fool loves the attention. He thinks people hang on his every word. Is he wrong or is he wrong? Let this sink in: “Far from making us greater, [the felon] has made us more feeble, disdained, and irrelevant on the international stage." Just MAGAs are in his thrall. This should be a must read. - Foreign Policy Malpractice

This will hurt different scientists who depend on the grants from the NIH. Those scientists in university settings depend on these NIH grants and other sources to fund their research. You’ll see where these cuts will be made. Talk about this corruption in this administration. Unfortunately this particular corrupt administration doesn’t give a damn if you pass from cancer. That’s this convicted felon’s aim. Smart people scare him, so he tries to put whatever they do at risk. More to think about here: “The conservative movement in America—the same movement that decades ago demanded science as the answer to Sputnik—has turned its back on the very idea of science.” So much is presented in this article. If you’re a scientist, you’ll want to read this. It appears those opposing science are just as paranoid as that orange menace. This alone should make you think of some of the particular effects we already see: “[T]he administrative state is really the workings of a functioning democratic government, and the biggest part of government consists of administering things that are very hard to cut: the Defense Department foremost, but things like air traffic management, nuclear safety and so on.” So we have incompetents like Hegseth put in charge, and how many SignalGates now?And then there’s this: “Science funding has fallen victim to the conservatives’ needs to perform violence against a demonized bureaucracy.” Then there’s the fact that Congress is failing us, the Republican Congress, that is. - The MAGA War on Science Is Deadly — And It’s Just Getting Started

Because of my past life, I have issues with so many exclamation points. So today, I’m taking a stand. They really accomplish nothing so I’ve deleted the extras from this post’s title. Yes, it’s a huge deal, but it doesn’t make it any larger than it already is. It also appears that he lies about why he increased tariffs on Mexico and Canada, but that’s something he does all the time, lie. And don’t forget, no one really other than Qatar really offered him anything other than the plane. We know how TACO loves shiny objects. As for his “lawyers,” well, they’re not exactly  working in our best interests or they wouldn’t have their jobs. Note too what this ruling by the US Court of International Trade made actually does. Yes, it is in our benefit. I love Spanberg’s Ad! I figured the charlatan was RFK, Jr. Now, reading the text I know that who the title was referring to. What doesn’t that old fool make up? He’s no better than TACO. His incompetence is on full display. He really needs to be fired like now. I love, love, love Sen. Adam Schiff’s message to scientists! It’s included here. - Court Declares Trump’s Tariffs Illegal! Spanberger’s New Ad, Kennedy the Charlatan, Notes From Little Rock

I still stand with the Apache Stronghold. The audio that accompanies this article is not the same as the text of the article. I listened, then read the article. As for the excuse, I'm still not buying it. It just won't wash. Double standard. - ’Not Surprised At All’: Indigenous legal scholar reflects on SCOTUS denial of Oak Flat appeal

We knew this appeal was coming. The question is how long it will stay in place, or if these tariffs will be gone forever. IMO the appeals court shouldn’t have given TACO this on his tariffs. Are they afraid to fight with him? That would be stupid IMO, for whatever it’s worth. Notice too that this ISN’T permanent. Our national security is already screwed so the reason given for this is unconscionable. Remember too that he has collected nada. Countries are going elsewhere to ‘make deals.’ We already know that 1977 Act is BS as it relates to today. - Appeals court allows Trump to continue collecting tariffs under emergency powers law for now. 

These GOP Congress people should be roasted every day, or pranked, or something to let them know we’re watching them. Luckily all my Congress people are Democrats. Good to see Rick Scott is targeted in FL. He needs to lose. It looks like Mike Flood (NE) is as much a liar as TACO as is Ashley Hinson (IA). I wonder how many other GOP members of the House don’t completely read the bills before them. Is it the same in the Senate? Live in a red state? Call your Rep and ask what's in that Big Ugly Bill they just passed. I'd be interested to hear what they have to say. Are they all liars, too? It sure doesn't sound like they represent their constituents. - Republicans Roasted at Town Halls and More Great News That’s Bad for Trump

Hopefully this will still be available after this interview. We know this particular interview is important. We still have a Constitution and a rule of law. TACO is trying to change that. We will continue to challenge this wannabe dictator who keeps putting out misinformation/disinformation. The orange menace is flooding the zone. "The pardons aren’t merit-based.” "They’re meant for justice and mercy.” If you show loyalty to TACO, more than likely you’ll be pardoned, for instance. In terms of that budget bill, this is something we needto pay attention to but mostly haven’t. It’s about limiting federal judges to hold people in contempt, basically that will shield TACO and his administration from the court orders. Judges need to build a record. It does take time to do so. It’s not constitutional. Our Constitution is our guardrails. This is fundamental breach of the trust that the American people have placed in their government. Call your GOP Reps and Senators, even if you know they won’t support wat you have to say. It’s up to us to lodge complaints with this. The funds this crime family is raking in is asked. "This is a fundamental violation of how this country works.” I agree with what she says about that SCOTUS case that gives TACO more power as going down in history as bad. A small chance exists that this crime family will have to answer for their criminality. So much is presented in this conversation, definitely worth a listen. - Live With Katie Couric 

F this current corrupt administration and all it’s trying to garner for itself. They can kiss me where the sun doesn’t shine. Hold them all to account, and I do mean every last one of them. WE are the bosses, not TACO. Again, I see this as more abuse of power. TACO & his supporters have to be stopped. We do have the power to do this. In the Preamble to the Constitution, it begins with “We the People.” That doesn’t include anyone in this administration. In fact, WE are the bosses. They’re all supposed to work for us. Past time we remind ALL of them of just that fact. - It’s the Oligarchy, Stupid

I will only post this here. I agree with some of what Adam has to say, about staying engaged, taking time if we need to, but I have issues with what he’s saying about our Dem leaders in Congress. Our House Dems voted against this budget. There wasn’t much more than that that they could do. After all they are the minority. Where would I place the blame? On those who didn’t vote or who voted for the GOP. How they couldn’t believe that the GOP would do what they have done is beyond my comprehension. What the Senate will do with that bill we will see eventually. In the meantime, I call my senators daily, because they need to hear from their constituents about what’s important to them. Again we’re in the minority. I don’t believe either that something isn’t going on behind the scenes that we don’t know about. That’s insanity. I have more faith in our Dem leaders in Congress. I also understand why they voted as they did at the beginning of the year. I hold no grudges. Just think that if they had voted like Adam would have liked to see, quite a few people would not be receiving their SS checks. That is fact. The GOP would not give in. Think about that for a minute. - What Do We Need to Do To Fight Back?

So much lying comes out of this corrupt administration. It is up to us to weed through the garbage to find the truth. That’s not something that will be found with TACO or anyone who continues to support this convicted felon. This is a short read. - Falsehoods, Harvard, And The Fight For Facts And Law

What’s important to understand is stated in the byline. Some food for thought: “The big ruling that Collins was touting is called an administrative stay, which preserves the status quo before the judges rule on the merits.” Watch the video included from Brian Tyler Cohen’s YouTube channel as he and his guest, Adam Klasfeld, drive into this. - Trump’s tariff appeal: Where things stand
