It's frustrating that the UK is trying to follow in the USA's political footsteps…

I'm really hoping USA BlueSky posters start using a cross-posting tool to a Fediverse instance soon and let others know about it. Especially anyone organizing for left(ish) candidates in primaries and general elections in November.
Things are not looking good over there right now and there needs to be a backup plan.
The White House says Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick properly divested from Cantor Fitzgerald by transferring leadership to his sons.
Anyway GOP officials called Lutnick about a Cantor-funded PAC planning to spend $1.75M on Ken Paxton and the PAC reversed course, but that’s probably just how independent companies behave when the former owner gets a phone call.

Just one month until a Saudi-backed golf tourney holds a tournament at President Trump’s club.
I have one wish for the youth of today... and it's that they hate Trump as much as I hated Reagan when I was a young person.
as #MAGA #GOP #Republican criminals look to reinstate the federal death penalty ―with the nazi barbarism of firing squads, electrocution and gas asphyxiation―, #PopeLeoXIV took to the cameras to commemorate the #abolition of the #deathPenalty in his place of birth, Illinois.
Pope Southside wasted no time calling out right to lifers who cheerlead the death penalty: it goes against Christ’s teachings and RCC doctrine. it’s inadmissible, therefore, a sin.

So far…
Rep #AndyBarr, a Republican backed by #Trump, easily won a contested #primary for #Senate in #Kentucky, where he will be strongly favored in November to replace the long-serving Senator #MitchMcConnell, who is retiring.

Donald Tantrump is talking (again) about pulling out of #NATO.
Don Trumpeone's Mafia protection racket: 'Nice democracies you have there - it'd be a real shame if they burnt down...'
President Trump might want to consider why the UK and other European countries would want to allow the United States of Trump to retain its bases here if no longer part of NATO.

"There has, of course, been wall-to-wall coverage since the shots rang out, but one thing that seems unexplored is how this all looks to the rest of the world. They see what could have been the best democracy on earth destroyed by madness, in a land where guns are everywhere and a callous elite media dons formalwear to toast its own humiliation by our narcissist king."

Mass Student Loan Discharge Notices Go Out To 170,000 Borrowers After Education Department Loss

Me:
Ie, a court order has forced Trump's #Education Dept to send 170,000 student loan borrowers notices that their federal #StudentLoans are eligible to be cancelled.
The development is the latest in the Sweet v. McMahon legal battle & a win for borrowers, all of whom have been waiting nearly 4 years for relief.

I would argue that this toot is less disrespectful to Easter Sunday than the weird sweary Islamophobic rant that the President of the United States just posted. #USpol #Trump
With Trump 2.0, you can tell which departments absolutely loath their leadership by the shear amount of snitching to the press.
That’s why Kash Patel is in his way out.
Lack of coverage of Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio is showing what crimes their underlings are willing to commit.
That or all that’s left are true believers
White House Seeks $1.5 Trillion for #Defense in New #Budget Request
The huge proposed increase would be partly offset by steep #cuts to #DomesticPrograms, some of which the #Trump admin describes as wasteful [which means they’re likely crucial social welfare programs].

Eric Trump & Donald Trump Jr. are set to "benefit from a conflict started by their father."
The two have joined Powerus, a drone manufacturing company trying to sell drones to Gulf countries amid Iranian attacks.
"These countries are under enormous pressure to buy from the sons of the president so he will do what they want. This is going to be the first family of a president to make a lot of money off war".

The Guardian: US authorities arrest relatives of late Iranian military commander who were living in Los Angeles
"...US federal agents have arrested the niece and grandniece of the late Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani after the Trump administration’s top diplomat, Marco Rubio, revoked their lawful permanent resident status, officials said on Saturday....Officials allege that Soleimani Afshar celebrated military strikes against American personnel and praised Iran’s new supreme leader after the US and Israel killed his predecessor, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in a large-scale air attack at the beginning of the war. ..."
