In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.
JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks.

The Executive Branch has no authority to regulate states’ election decisions as to candidate qualifications, and the choice to file a lawsuit like this just days before an election speaks volumes about the political corruption festering at the top levels of the DOJ.
NEWS — The Trump administration sued Alaska over Dan J. Sullivan’s Senate candidacy, arguing voter confusion could affect the race between Sen. Dan S. Sullivan and Democrat Mary Peltola, per Courthouse News.
The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.
Trump: "You know, the first question -- they have a lion, a snake, a giraffe, and a bear. And they say 'which is the snake?' ... by the time you get to number five a lot of people are left out on the road ... I get no credit for it."
"With a seeming flick of a switch, Musk has the power to alter the course of a deadly conflict. "
Nobody should have that kind of power

This has been Putin's dream for years: That his country, with GDP per capita lower than Poland, unable to conquer Donbas since 2014, will be treated as an equal to the US and China.

We reviewed FBI documents that showed a sweeping pay-to-play investigation involving Sen. Susan Collins was in motion. Then Trump shut down the unit in charge.
Had we found a road map to corruption in Congress? We decided to dig deeper.
Humiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy.

Treason is the crime of betraying a state, nation, or sovereign, typically by attempting to overthrow the government, waging war against the country, or giving aid and comfort to its enemies.
Wow. Since last September, the Justice Department has filed lawsuits against 30 states and the District of Columbia to obtain state voter rolls.
26 of those cases have been decided in district court. The DOJ lost every single one of them.

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.
WOW. Kristi Noem and Elon Musk, among others, "chose to turn the power of the federal government against a singular employee with an impeccable record of public service. ... The attacks against Ms. Comans were based entirely on false information" and many officials "knew [they] were untrue."

for as long as i've been alive, republicans have ran the same playbook: a few weeks before voting begins, they roll out completely fabricated smear campaigns. these things are always coordinated, so the talking points take over the news. the party is never electorally punished for their dishonesty.
This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.
I think this analysis is correct. Reports out of Russia for the last six weeks show huge diesel shortages and long lines of cars trying to get it. Russia doesn't have the diesel Trump says he's buying for them. This is all for another purpose, which is psy ops.
I am angry tonight.
Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car.
ICE makes this city less safe.
We want them out. Now.
U.S. forces are retreating. That's what this means.
"Pulled out and returned to their home stations in the U.S. as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns" is a fancy way of saying the Iranian military has the U.S. military in retreat.
This is unbelievably embarrassing.
WATCH: All U.S. bombers deployed to RAF Fairford in England have been pulled out and returned to their home stations in the United States as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns across Europe.

The Army announced last year that it had enough of a model of armored vehicle and that any more deliveries would be “excess.” But Congress found a way to keep funding alive for the vehicle, and executives at the company found a way to flood key members of Congress with donations. buff.ly/nbAEUVa
Interviewee at The Bulwark argued recently one of Vance’s most important projects is to signal to MAGA base that—despite being married to the daughter of immigrants and the father of mixed kids—he, too, is a true believer in the myth that immigration poses an existential threat to white America.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign.
The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers.
Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵
There ya go, folks. The self-proclaimed Genius just explained that we can get rid of our trade deficit if we all just stop eating bananas.
It’s so simple. Why didn’t anyone think of that??
Come on, be a patriot — ditch the bananas! 🍌
The US already got a do over. A mulligan. A second chance.
Much of the world, especially US allies, were ready to write off Trump’s first term as a fluke.
The American people’s choice to put him back in power—as a convicted felon, after an openly bigoted, anti-democracy campaign—showed it was not.
This is the part many Americans -- including the Bezosites at the Washington Post -- don't understand. Canadians don't see this just as a Trump thing. It's that America elected him twice, and the second time with an even bigger mandate.
The problem we're addressing is America, not Trump.

JPMorgan’s commodities team:
“For the first time since the start of the Iran conflict, we don’t have a baseline view. We simply don’t know how to model the endgame.”
Trump: "We spent more than $2 billion in FEMA funding. You're waiting for some additional funding. I'm gonna get that to you. Now if Michael loses, I'm not sending it."
Crowd: *groans*
Trump just signed an EO stripping Canadian goods from US federal procurement.
A country that supplies 63% of America's crude oil imports, nearly all its natural gas, its aluminum, uranium and steel.
This isn't the US being tough. It's self-harm. 🧵
