"Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it."

Costco wouldn't back down on DEI, and now it's going up against the Trump administration, suing on the grounds that Trump overstepped his emergency powers by imposing tariffs — and asking for a refund. Here's more from @CNN on what Costco said in the lawsuit, and the handful of other companies that are separately suing the government.

⚖️ In light of the upcoming US #SupremeCourt ruling in #Trump v. Slaughter, we took a detailed look at the implications for US-EU #datatransfers. In short: It's time for EU companies to prepare for more trouble to come.

Even more reason not to consider going to the #US :

"As well as the collection of social media information, the new document proposes the gathering of an applicant's telephone numbers and email addresses used over the last five and 10 years respectively, and more information about their family members." ......

If you refuse to give them your social media passwords, what are they going to do, deport you ?
Personally, I think if you "have" to go to the US, leave your personal mobile at home and just take a burner phone (feature phone), and make sure your embassy's number is in the contacts, incase you are picked up by the #ice nazis.

Trump's administration wants the International Criminal Court to amend its founding document to ensure it does not investigate the GOP president and his top officials, a Trump administration official said, threatening new US sanctions on the court if it did not.

Every absurd story about #Trump not sleeping should be accompanied by an explanation as to why he might not sleep and the biological and cognitive consequences of not sleeping. The man has #dementia.

Last week Trump called Tim Walz the ‘R slur’.

He then doubled down on it, and now his base have begun harassing the entire Walz family.

Memes are circulating on socials encouraging people to drive past their house and yell it at them.

I’ve been personally called that word more than 1,000 times in the last seven days.

We can’t allow this to happen. The disability community has fought far too hard for far too long to remove that word from the public vernacular.

This is ableism at it’s most ugly, and ableism feeds eugenics and eugenics feeds fascism.

Help us fight back. We are not expendable.

Reportedly, the despised Tony Blair has been dropped from prospective membership of Trump's so-called "Board of Peace".

Dropped how far? To the "executive board" functioning under it. Along with Kushner & Witkoff.

Report: Blair's name was dropped from Trump's Board of Peace under pressure from several Arab & Muslim states.

Trump's Gaza "peace plan" appears to have stalled.

In another about-turn, Trump has approved Nvidia H200 chip sales to China. It will make the chipmaker billions of dollars, but Democrats say it risks eroding America’s edge in the AI race and strengthening Beijing’s military and cyber capabilities.
