The #SaveVOA campaign stands in solidarity with our NPR colleagues as they launch their lawsuit, which raises identical issues as ours: The administration is acting on viewpoint-based discrimination and usurping Congress' power to direct how federal money is spent.

Casar: "The only way to push back on this is for Democrats to be really clear that if we win back a majority, we aren't just going to let bygones be bygones. We have to go and investigate who paid Trump, who paid Musk, who made money off of these pardons because that is really serious."

This is not a #US presidency, it's a mobster running a criminal enterprise out of the White House. In #American history, we've never seen a criminal like #Trump:

The corrupt, serial lying conman pardoned tax cheat Paul Walczak after his mother bribed Trump with $1 million at a #MarALago dinner.

Walczak stole from his employees to fund an extravagant lifestyle — and was pardoned by Trump before he ever reported to prison.

"Passengers made more than 52 million trips by train between Beijing and Shanghai last year, while only about 8.6 million people took a flight between the two cities.

Business travellers especially are increasingly viewing high-speed rail as a superior option, experts said, with China Railway’s fastest service now able to travel the 1,300-kilometer route in just over four hours."

There is a new term in financial markets - “TACO trade”, where TACO stands for "Trump Always Chickens Out."

FT commentator Robert Armstrong, who is credited with coining the term earlier this month wrote - "The recent rally has a lot to do with markets realizing that the U.S. administration does not have a very high tolerance for market and economic pressure, and will be quick to back off when tariffs cause pain."

When it comes to Trump’s pardons, it’s worth marveling at the brazenness. The pretense of propriety is gone.

He’s corrupting the pardon process; he knows that he’s corrupting the pardon process; he knows that we know that he’s corrupting the pardon process; and he’s doing it anyway. msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/m

Of the many of law firms targeted by the White House, only four agreed to fight rather than appease Trump.

At least so far, those four firms are undefeated in their cases against Trump’s offensive — including a breakthrough win today. msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/m
