My feelings today...

The anti-weaponization fund is setup so the AG picks a commission that decides who gets money. The decisions can't be appealed in court and require no public disclosure of payouts. The legal mechanism enabling it is the 1956 Judgment Fund that allows the AG to pay settlements without Congress.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov "In Trump’s White House there is unlimited taxpayer money for a $1 billion ballroom, an unending war of choice, and now a slush fund for his crooked allies. But never enough to deliver for working families."

Or pardoned. I mean... only delusional MAGA cult would believe otherwise. And apparently MSM.

Mainstream media is reporting that all 53 GOP senators are not happy with Trump's anti-weaponization fund... they are afraid it will cost them control of the chamber. FUCK them all!

Howard Lutnick donated $5mil to the House Republican super PAC on April 1st, exactly 4 weeks after the House Oversight Committee scheduled an interview about his ties to Epstein. There's a word for giving money to the people who are supposed to be investigating you. It isn't "donation."

At a minimum to make the rich pay their fair share, undo what Trump did in 2017: Income taxes: Restore the top marginal rate to 39.6%. Capital gains rates would also rise. Corporate taxes: Raise the corporate rate from 21% back toward the historical 35%.

Judge Crenshaw has dismissed the indictment of Kilmar Abrego Garcia based on "selective and vindictive prosecution". Abrego should apply to the weaponization fund and receive at least $200 million.

Tulsi Gabbard resigns as Trump's Director of National Intelligence... effective end of June. Good riddance.

Let's show CBS how big of a mistake they made by obeying to this fascist regime in advance... cancel CBS. And cancel Paramount if you haven't already. Thank you to 60 Minutes fighters of the truth and freedom of press. Thank you Colbert for not obeying and for standing up for freedom of speech!

FU Johnson for canceling the vote on the Iran war powers resolution. Rep. McGovern, D-Mass: You guys don’t have the guts or the balls to vote on this.

Will someone - anyone - tell Bezos to shut the fuck up? Tyvm

Iran is negotiating a toll system for the Strait of Hormuz with Oman, a US ally, as a partner. Trump administration has warned against this. But Trump keeps telling the public a deal is close. There is no deal. There is no close.

Need a reason to stop shopping at Hobby Lobby... The Greater Than campaign is funded by Hobby Lobby, the business that got SCOTUS to rule that for-profit corporations don’t have to pay for employees’ health care that covers contraception if that contraception goes against their religious beliefs.

Retired police officer Larry Bushart will receive $835k after being jailed for 37 days over FB memes mocking Charlie Kirk's death. He was charged with a felony after refusing to remove posts that conservatives in the county found alarming. A win for Larry. A win for our First Amendment rights.

A federal prosecutor got indicted for allegedly stealing the sealed report on Trump's classified documents. The documents remain sealed. The man who stole them remains in the White House. The woman who tried to preserve the record is in court. Justice is very selective about what it protects.

I want immunity from tax audits.

Arizona AG Mayes is suing the Department of Education over a new rule that unlawfully limits access to federal student loans for students pursuing professional degree programs, including many healthcare and other critical workforce fields.

Eight votes. That's how many times it took to advance a War Powers Resolution on a war Congress never authorized, against a country that hasn't attacked us, funded by a debt ceiling Trump blew through. Four Republicans finally blinked with Cassidy flipping after Trump kneecapped him. FU Fetterman.

I'm outraged that the government is regulating reproductive rights, and I'm just as outraged that the same people who are "pro-life" are the ones supporting cuts in life saving benefits including free lunches and healthcare.

U.S. grants Russia oil sanctions waiver AGAIN... even though they said they wouldn't. So another $150 million per day given to Russia.

My feelings this morning...

After all this fkn shitstorm of a mess, even Trump saying he doesn't care about Americans' financial situation, he stll has a 37% approval rating... MAGA cult. It was never about the price of eggs. It's racism, xenophobia, misogyny... hate.

Initially I thought Fetterman was holding a doobie... just me?!

The DOJ - who was weaponized by Trump to bully, prosecute, punish and silence his foes - has created a $1.7B ‘anti-weaponization’ fund - our tax dollars to be handed out to J6 insurrectionists. This is collusive litigation, violation of the Emoluments Clause and bypasses Congress on taxpayer funds.

"The Supreme Court ruling that finished off the Voting Rights Act opens anew the discussion about “how we got here.” At my age, “here” feels like I fell asleep one night and woke up the next morning in 1963 again..." @theoutpost.bsky.social

Approximately 245 million Americans were eligible to vote in 2024 and over 89 million did NOT. Midterms have lower turnout. Time to get all those who voted for Harris in '24 to show up, plus a chunk of the nonvoters... so far, I've persuaded 15 nonvoters to vote in the midterms. #LFG

The best way to predict the future is to create it. Start in your local community! #LFG

One of Ukraine's largest drone strikes on Russia killed at least four people, including three near Moscow, and wounded a dozen others. Zelenskyy: "Our responses to Russia's prolongation of the war and attacks on our cities and communities are entirely justified... their state must end its war."

Just me?

I fixed it!

In my AZ Congressional District 6, Democrat JoAnna Mendoza, a Marine veteran endorsed by Gabrielle Giffords, is running to unseat Republican incumbent Juan Ciscomani in the 2026 midterms. This is a toss up district where dems can pick up a seat. If you can, please donate! #LFG

When the graduating class is booing the speaker, he needs to leave the stage. It's not his day. It belongs to the graduating class. Shame! Shame! UofA should never have invited this fkn sex abuser rapist billionaire Eric Schmidt. #UniversityofArizona

MAGA cult... "It feels like ​he hears us, that he is fighting for us." "I struggle, but I'm willing to sacrifice a little. That's been totally lost in this country, people's willingness to sacrifice." “It's just where we are with this war, people just have to give it time."

The DoJ is considering settling Trump’s IRS lawsuit by dropping any audits of Trump, his family and businesses. AND create a $1.7B fund - taxpayer funds - to settle claims from anyone alleging Biden-era weaponization, including the J6 insurrectionists.

Let's be precise about what Republicans decided was acceptable: a man credibly accused of rape, personally connected to the most prolific sex trafficker in modern history, and whose business career was a masterclass in fraud propped up by mob money. That wasn't disqualifying. That was his resume.

Two days in Beijing. Xi warned him on Taiwan. Iran came up. No breakthroughs announced. Trade deals described as fantastic with zero specifics. But Trump, “China has a Ballroom, and so should the U.S.A.!” The most consequential summit in a generation, and his first dispatch home - ballroom envy.

When the recession hits and we lose our jobs, we're going to declare bankruptcy like Trump did... six f*cking times.

Happy Friday! But not you, Fetterman, I hope your Friday is exactly what you deserve for supporting pedophiles.

When the recession hits and we lose our jobs... we're moving in with my MAGA in-laws and making their lives miserable as fuck.

#IMPEACH Speak Truth to Power The GOP and MAGA have become so badly corrupted, every single one of them is complicit in enabling and protecting a global pedophilia trafficking ring from naming names. If Donald J Trump moved to your neighborhood in Arizona, you'd get a Sex Offender notice in the mail

Trump is a pedophile and John Fetterman is a Republican. Which is pretty much one in the same these days.

Xi Jinping warned Trump that the issue of Taiwan could push their two countries into “conflict” if mishandled. What are the odds it will be mishandled? My bet is Trump will kiss his ass.

Fascism: Extreme Nationalism Dictatorial Leadership Suppression of Dissent Corporatist Economy Militarism Project 2025. It's fascism.

Military campaign in Iran to be continued. Trump will likely give Xi the U.S. support for China to take Taiwan... he maybe has already. Fascism.

Congrats to the 600k MAGA who paid $100 deposits a year ago to secure their $499 Trump T1 Phone - a gold-painted Chinese mid-ranger that competes spec-for-spec with phones costing $250. The promise of "Made in America" is replaced with "Designed with American values in mind."

🚨All Roads Lead to the South 🚨National Day of Action for Voting Rights🚨 🚨 Saturday May 16 Our parents and grandparents marched, organized, and fought to secure voting rights and expand democracy in America. Today, communities across the country are being called to continue that work.
