Donald Trump said the White House will continue to ban the Associated Press from official events until the wire service agrees to relent and call the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America,” Deadline reports.

Every Ridiculous Thing Republicans Want to Rename After Trump

Newsweek - President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he directed the Justice Department (DOJ) to dismiss all remaining U.S. attorneys from former President Joe Biden's era, claiming unprecedented politicization.

Boing Boing - Making way for things like a Roseanne Barr residency or "The Complete Tucker Carlson Experience," Trump's credibility lacking National Art Center in Washington DC is reported to have cowardly canceled the Gay Men's Chorus without telling anyone.National Symphony Orchestra bass player Jeffrey Weisner writes:

We were scheduled to perform for the first time with Gay Men's Chorus of Washington on May 21st as part of World Pride in Washington DC. The concert was abruptly canceled without explanation and removed from the KC website. I know about this only because my husband Silvio is in the Chorus and was there when they were informed.

Boing Boing - Calling BS on the Trump Administration's attempts to block trans people from serving their country, United States District Court Judge Ana Reyes rained all over their stupid parade. Judge Reyes rightly pointed out there are much more significant problems than pronouns in the military if the USAS is at all impacted by a pronoun. Showing the ridiculousness of their argument to Trump's DOJ likely won't stop them, but a court order might."Can we agree that the greatest fighting force… is not going to be impacted in any way by less than one percent of the soldiers using a different pronoun than others might want to call them?" she asked.

Independent, UK - President Donald Trump said Tuesday he would unilaterally impose 25 percent import taxes on American purchases of automobiles, pharmaceuticals and microchips as early as April 1 despite fears that doing so would supercharge inflation rates he promised to tame during his campaign for the presidency last year.

CalltoActivism - Holy shit. Trump says Zelenskyy “should have never started” the war with Russia. Putin started the war by invading Ukraine. He is literally spreading Putin talking points from the podium. What a disgraceful asshole.

Whatever the debate, the Review's sharp critiques encourage us to look out our window, notice and act upon what we see, and also to look further -- to the rest of the country and globe -- to see how the organized big world interacts with our more spontaneous small worlds. - Utne Reader
