Middleboro Review and so on

  The universities are next Robert Reich Mar 10 Friends, Trump is following Putin’s, Xi’s, and Orban’s playbook. First, take over military and intelligence operations by purging career officers and substituting ones personally loyal to you. Next, subdue the courts by ignoring or threatening to ignore court rulings you disagree with. Intimidate legislators by warning that if they don’t bend to your wishes, you’ll run loyalists against them. (Make sure they also worry about what your violent supporters could do to them and their families.) Then focus on independent sources of information: the media and the universities. Sue media that publish critical stories and block their access to news conferences and interviews. Then go after the universities. Last week, Trump threatened in a social media post to punish any university that permits “illegal” protests. On Friday he  cancelled hundreds of millions in grants and contracts  with Columbia University. This is an extension of ...

WATCH! TRUMP LIED ABOUT WHAT EUROPE SPENT IN AID TO UKRAINE!  IF TRUMP SAYS IT, YOU KNOW IT'S A LIE!  RUSSIAN MEDIA IN WHITE HOUSE!  + 4,000 COMMENTS WORTH READING! Millions of dollars wasted on Donald playing golf, but there’s no room in the budget for cancer research. Let that sink in for a moment. As a nurse I see what is called foot drop. Usually not a good sign neurologically. Also, most Americans get a new job and can’t take vaca for a year. Look where they’re at…skiing and playing golf while Zelensky is fighting a war. The layers of disgust keep piling up. How can anyone disrespect President Zelensky? He is fighting for his country while Trump is golfing....badly. Ukraine chose an actor and got a leader. America chose a clown and got a circus. Greetings from Germany. Failed businessman, failed President and failed human being. His leg is probably sore from bending the knee to Putin. He's not limping, he shit himself Ben, I clearly remember every president since...

Great News That’s Horrible For Trump Onward. Scott Dworkin Mar 1 Following another week of absolute madness from Trump and Musk, I’m happy to deliver more good news today. I hope it gives you some relief—and shows you there are wonderful people everywhere who are fighting back. After Trump’s disgraceful PR stunt with Ukrainian President Zelenksy at the White House yesterday, the worldwide response was resoundingly behind Ukraine. The EU’s Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas said: “the free world needs a new leader.” German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said: “Germany together with our European allies stands united alongside Ukraine—and against the Russian aggression.” French President Emmanuel Macron said: “I think we were all right to help Ukraine and sanction Russia three years ago and to continue to do so.” Democrats were unanimous in condemning Trump’s treatment of Zelensky, and even a few Republicans spoke out. GOP Rep. Don Bacon called it “a bad day for America’s foreign po...

    Watch now   EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Schiff Responds to Trump Oval Office Meltdown Watch our exclusive interview with Adam Schiff on the Meidas+ Substack Ben Meiselas and MeidasTouch Network Mar 1   Today was one of those days that will live in infamy. Donald Trump disgraced the Oval Office yet again, this time using it as a stage to undermine Ukraine and cozy up to Vladimir Putin. With Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sitting right there, Trump—flanked by his Kremlin-parroting sidekick, JD Vance—repeated Russian propaganda and questioned why Zelenskyy dared to criticize Putin. The leader of a sovereign nation fighting for its very existence had to sit through an American president echoing Moscow’s talking points. Senator Adam Schiff just joined me on the MeidasTouch Network for an exclusive interview to break it all down, and his reaction was clear: This was an absolute betrayal, not just of Ukraine, but of every democracy around the world. Then, as if t...
