  1. There’s some awfully wrong about this. Deals are worth more than 600 million. Five More Big Law Firms Reach Deals With Trump Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins, A&O Shearman, Simpson Thacher & Bartlett and Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft agreed to do free legal work on causes the White House supports. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/business/trump-law-firms-kirkland-ellis-latham-watkins.html
  2. Trump is such a malignant narcissist: https://www.yahoo.com/news/painting-iconic-trump-raised-fist-201116831.html
  3. My money was on him becoming the Sec’y of ‘Rasslin and Shootin’. But Trump gave the job to Linda McMahon.
  4. Facilitate and effectuate in context mean all deliberate speed, which means nothing
  5. How anyone, including his supporters could think this is okay is beyond me. It’s chilling:
  6. The bill does not say who gets to decide if the teaching is accurate or factual. That could be a problem.
  7. Circa 2016: The “Real Time” host made his case that nobody fits the stereotypically ’50s description of women better than the modern-day Trump. “Irrational, pouty, vain, thin-skinned, hysterical and just not that bright, does that sound like anyone we know today?” the comic said. “Who gets more hysterical than Lady Donald Trump…Maher goes on to call Trump a “whiny little bitch” numerous times.
  8. “…while hiding their racism, bigotry, homophobia, and transphobia.” They don’t hide anymore.
  9. Today, the Trump administration revoked: 27 student visas at UNT 15 student visas at Texas A&M 19 student visas at UT Dallas UT, you’re on the clock.
  10. Does this mean because Governor Abbott, being a member of the “inclusion” community by virtue of his disability, will not be able to get another job?
  11. Really?
  12. More of Eric Swalwell, Jasmine Crockett and Dan Goldberg.
  13. Getting worse before it’s better is obviously a real thing: The Trump administration will remain steadfast in its reciprocal tariffs on major U.S. trading partners even in the face of a global stock market sell-off, Commerce Secretary Howard Bootlick told CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday.
  14. True. It just occurred to me that this is the first time in my life where a POTUS has gone after the legal profession in the manner Trump has. What is particularly sobering is how almost normal it feels.
  15. Yeah, well, they chose the wrong school for that name.
  16. It really should be called East Texas A&M to distinguish it from West Texas A&M in Canyon.
  17. To stop the market’s free fall?
  18. What are the chances the “fake news” of a 90 day suspension of the tariffs came from the Trump’s bunch?
  19. CNN — An image of and quote from Harriet Tubman have been removed from a National Parks webpage about the “Underground Railroad,” following several prominent changes to government websites under the Trump administration. The National Parks Service webpage for the “Underground Railroad” used to lead with a quote from Tubman, the railroad’s most famous “conductor”, a comparison on the Wayback Machine between the webpage on January 21 and March 19 shows. Both the quote and an image of Tubman have since been removed, along with several references to “enslaved” people and the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. The Washington Post first reported on the changes. The webpage now leads with commemorative stamps of various civil rights leaders with text including the phrase “Black/White Cooperation.” Whereas previously, the article started with a description of enslaved peoples’ efforts to free themselves and the organization of the Underground Railroad after the Fugitive Slave Act, the article now starts with two paragraphs that emphasize the “American ideals of liberty and freedom” and do not specifically mention slavery.
  20. Chuckle.Was really counting on seeing that all Sec championship game.
  21. Good grief, you big eared oaf.
  22. Trump to Americans: “Hang tough while I screw you over. I’m going golfing.”
  23. Cody Campbell must not have any other hobbies: https://www.essentiallysports.com/ncaa-college-football-news-college-football-programs-four-eight-m-nil-pull-lands-top-ten-transfer-from-acc-powerhouse-stanford-texas-tech-david-bailey/
  24. One country that did not feature on Donald Trump's list of tariffs on US trade partners was Russia. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdjl3k1we8vo US outlet Axios quoted White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt as saying this was because existing US sanctions on Russia "preclude any meaningful trade" and noting that Cuba, Belarus and North Korea were also not included. However, nations with even less trade with the US - such as Syria, which exported $11m of products last year according to UN data quoted by Trading Economics - were on the list.
