The grift never ends. Most corrupt regime in history

Right out in the open, Donald Trump is suing his own IRS to try to steal $10 BILLION taxpayer dollars. I just introduced a bill that would make this theft ILLEGAL.

Violation of religious liberty. All Christians should be fearful of this administration and the lengths they'll go to silence dissenters. https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-yanks-millions-from-catholic-charities-amid-pope-feud/

If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than: Tesla Southwest Disney Live Nation HP United PayPal CVS Health Palantir Citigroup PG&E 3M That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax. It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.

Orban showing more class and more respect for democracy than Trump did in 2020.

Elon Musk and DOGE said they were going to root out waste, fraud and abuse. But during that time, Trump's DOJ dropped OVER 900 criminal cases of fraud. For Trump and Musk, it was never about rooting out waste. It was always about corruption and power.

This is how you know it's a great thing for democracy.

“You shall take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.” Exodus 20:7

Faith without action is dead. Our foundation is Jesus—the followers of Jesus will follow Him in doing justly, loving mercy, & walking humbly as we love our neighbours as ourselves.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

How things would've been so very different today if McCain won the primary in 1999-2000 or if Kasich won the primary in 2015-2016.

Average wage growth for workers is now at the slowest pace in 5 years — and could soon be eaten up by inflation. Meanwhile, CEO pay continues to skyrocket through the stratosphere. Imagine what our economy would look like if worker pay grew like CEO pay.

“Let those who have weapons lay them down. Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace. Not a peace pursued by force, but through dialogue. Not with the desire to dominate the other, but to encounter them.” — Pope Leo XIV

No motive. After 480 employees. After 1,000 interviews. After 500,000 files. That is not an investigation that ran out of answers. That is an investigation that stopped looking. Today's newsletter. Link in bio. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

The percentage of Evangelical Pastors - who absolutely lost their minds when Biden tweeted well wishes to the LGBT community for a holiday they celebrate (which just happened to fall on the same day as Easter in 2024) - who will have anything critical to say about Trump’s words today? Near zero.

Accountability is very important. Without it, the people who do bad things are just emboldened to do more bad things. You vote for a capitalist, and you'll never see accountability. If you vote for a capitalist from either party, all these criminals walk free. Divine justice is fake. It's up to us.

In what world is it okay for the Defense Secretary to make multi-million dollar investments in defense companies: a) Ever; b) In the run-up to starting a war in the Middle East FT has the scoop: www.ft.com/content/744e... In a functional democracy, he would offer his resignation tonight.

Your tax season reminder that the real freeloaders in this country are the rich — not the poor or immigrants or any other group of people vilified as scapegoats. The richest 1% evade $160 billion in taxes every year. The United States literally has yacht and private jet tax deductions. Hello?

Last year, Trump signed executive orders to fast-track AI data center construction and weaken state-level AI regulations. Now a new AI industry group says it will spend $100M+ on the midterms to push Trump's AI agenda. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction. Be warned.

Americans: We just want health care Republicans: How about another Middle East war?

"Why is the homeowner in California paying 5x as much for their electricity as the homeowner in Australia? ... Electricity rates are going down quickly in those areas that have made a commitment—they have affordable abundance." Al Gore makes the case for "affordable abundance."

Enough is enough. We need to rein in prediction markets.

Don’t let this fly under the radar: the Trump administration wants to kick ~6 million more people off of food assistance programs, including nearly 2 million children. That would save just $1 billion a year, while Trump spends upwards of $1 billion per *day* on his new forever war. Priorities.

Private equity landlords have a track record of jacking up rents and evicting tenants.   I’m pressing the biggest corporate landlords for data to get to the bottom of their business practices.

I did not know about this kind of insidious pricing. Thank you for highlighting it!

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis

I wish we could get protests like these #NoKings rallies against the doubling of the price of homes in just the past 5-7 years. Never happened at this rate before & incomes have risen at only a tiny fraction of it. 🤏 The whole thing looks very coordinated when you look closely at the timeline. 🧐

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did on J6 🩸🩸🩸 THIS IS WHAT AN INSURRECTION LOOKS LIKE ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Somebody is making a fortune on the war with inside information and it is grotesquely corrupt.

"In America, 20%, a minority faction of the country, is in total charge, waging war on its own people. That is only possible because of the way the two party system distorts... It's a bad way to run a country." @danielcantor.bsky.social explains how the two party system distorts democracy.

"Our children are part of the world; bearing children is always bearing them in some sense for the world." sojo.net/articles/opi...

We did this with tariffs. Now we’re doing this with war. And some insiders are making a fortune off the chaos.

Republicans think AI can help them flip the script by misrepresenting their opponents. This can only work effectively when voters don’t ever get to see the true candidate in action. lnk.thebulwark.com/4rR90aQ

We at Rank The Vote Ohio are deeply disappointed that Governor DeWine signed SB63 into law today. SB63 prohibits municipalities from implementing Ranked Choice Voting and allows the state to withhold all funding from municipalities that choose to exercise their local authority.

Who was it that said love your enemies & pray for those who persecute you? He who lives by the sword dies by the sword? You have heard it said… but I tell you? Go & do likewise? The followers of Jesus will not only listen to what He says, but do as He commands.

2006: The loudest critics of the Bush Republican Party are almost all progressives/liberals. 2026: The loudest critics of the Trump Republican Party include quite a few prominent conservative and moderate FORMER REPUBLICANS. Stop acting like nothing has changed.

If we want a system that works for regular folks, we can't ban #RCV! Send a message to the Governor today to VETO #SB63 https://actionbutton.nationbuilder.com/share/SPK-QElBQUA=

Biden didn’t start the War in Afghanistan. He didn’t even negotiate the terrible terms for the end of the war in Afghanistan (Trump did). But when 13 US soldiers were killed in Afghanistan during the last days of the war, he was blamed. Including a LOT by Trump and his campaign. Fast forward …

...do you get credit for stopping a war if you're the one who started it? 🤔

After WWII we could have gone home and left the world to burn. Instead America rebuilt Europe, defended trade routes, and helped inspire the fall of the Iron Curtain. Because America has always had a mission. One we're dangerously close to forgetting. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Don’t let Fox get away with it this time. Spread the word. Fox & Friends Weekend replaced footage of Trump attending yesterday’s dignified transfer with a clip from 2025. They clearly didn’t want their audience to see him disrespecting fallen soldiers wearing a baseball cap. H/T: @BadFoxGraphics

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion. That's roughly $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. People do not want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

That's not just a "religious freedom" issue, it's literally using God's name in vain. They're using God's name to justify their actions... for terrible, horrible means and ends. The Commandments mean nothing to those 'commanders.'
