The Iran War, the slush fund, now this Wake up, everybody. You are living in a dictatorship

Again, that this stuff doesn’t immediately end his presidency is a total failure of Article I of the Constitution. A complete collapse of the polity.

Ossoff on his Republican opponents: "They're pro-war, they're pro-tariffs, they're pro-cutting healthcare. Let's find out where they stand on the crooked ballroom and the insurrectionist slush fund."

This is illegal. I don’t want my tax dollars funding this criminal! www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Congrats to the NFL for rewarding a stadium partially funded by this Republican supermajority state with a Super Bowl immediately after they stripped representation from majority-Black Memphis. Quite the message y’all sent. www.facebook.com/share/1JMars...

Katalin Karikó is one of the most extraordinary scientific stories of this era. A girl from a modest Hungarian household helped develop technology that saved millions of lives worldwide. In 2023, she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for discoveries that enabled effective mRNA vaccines.

Uniter @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social: “Those guys, their eyes are just glued to the floor all the time!” Because Republicans see Trump can’t explain “how this [regime change, foreign] war is helping one single person.” #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #DV1 #ResistanceUnited 🎥 @colbertlateshow.bsky.social

In America, if you don’t have good health, everything becomes harder--Premiums, deductibles, co-insurance, debt, lost wages. From the start, the GOP now magagop made it worse. Vote them out! Gifted: wapo.st/4dnqEig #v4v #dv1 #usDemocracy

Without a paywall. Officers who defended Capitol from rioters sue to block payouts from $1.8B ‘anti-weaponization’ fund apnews.com/article/irs-...

Donald Trump should be on the hook to restore the East Wing out of his own pocket. He tore it down based on a unilateral decision; our tax dollars should not have to pay for this shit. And I know I’m not the only one suspecting the real plan is to never leave.

1/ The most persuasive ppl in any room are not ones with the most facts. They are the ones asking the best questions. Research on how minds actually change shows that curiosity-based questions do what facts alone almost never can.Here is how to use them 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

substack.com/@northjules/... Jasmine is right. Republicans are not the law and order party, Proud Boys are white supremacists and those convicted for the January 6th attack had due process and don’t deserve reparations. And yes, we never gave reparations for the families of 4 million black slaves.

Yes, some good news! Now, withdraw the taxpayer funding for the J6 insurrectionist criminals, Senate! l.smartnews.com/p-7LfqqX7y/v...

🚨 USE THE CONSTITUTION 🚨 The founders built a fire alarm for this exact moment. The 25th Amendment exists to remove a president whose mind has failed. Tell Congress to do their sworn constitutional duty and create the Commission: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Trump has created a $1.8 BILLION taxpayer-funded slush fund to hand out to his criminal allies. We can’t let this brazen corruption stand. Tell Congress to pass Rep. Jamie Raskin's bill to BLOCK this felon-to-felon slush fund! 🚨 Send your letter now: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Major update: Donald Trump’s $1 billion ballroom funding is dead. His weaponization fund and audit pardon is likely next. Here’s how this massive “settlement agreement” could be voided, and all the news of the day. Subscribe to support my work: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

ICE, in other words, gave itself the authority to detain millions of people indefinitely and without the chance to challenge the grounds of their detention. There's been a breakdown in constitutional norms," said Dan Gividen, (cont.) www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Yea Iran really wants to make a deal. 🙄

www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news... RFK Jr has me spitting mad. I am a full time caregiver to a Younger Onset Alzheimer’s patient and if I didn’t receive the pittance I am paid (20 hours a week), I would have to seek outside employment and then who would care for him? (1 of 2)

The U.S. Attorney General, the highest-ranking law enforcement officer in the U.S., plans to pay millions to convicted criminals who committed violent acts against U.S. law enforcement officers at the Capitol. THE US AG IS NOW WORKING AGAINST LAW OFFICERS AND WORKING FOR CRIMINALS

Trump Administration has FOREVER BARRED THE IRS FROM INVESTIGATING THE TAXES OF TRUMP, THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION AND FAMILY MEMBERS Where’s the outrage ?

Shapiro: Somehow, he can’t find the money to pay for healthcare, but he can steal from you to pay off the criminals who stormed the Capitol.

Trump and sons to be ‘forever’ exempt from tax audits ft.trib.al/ePJ9DiF

Trump/GOP’s $1.8 BILLION SLUSH FUND paid for with your hard earned taxpayer $, increases Americans’ costs, while giving free $ handouts to convicted criminals, Trump/GOP cronies, scammers & grifters! Trump/GOP are stealing Americans’ $ that should be used to lower high costs of Trump/GOP’s Iran war!

“Think how much weaponry they could purchase with that; think how much money that they could use to recruit other people and recruit them with the message: ‘Look, if you commit crimes in the name of Trump, you’re going to be pardoned, and you’re going to be enriched.’” www.ms.now/news/trump-w...

The intention of Russ Vought et al. is to disable the research infrastructure. One way to do it: Create a staffing shortage that impacts the administrative aspects of issuing awarded grants. Fewer grant disbursements = less $ = less research = slow innovation. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Obviously 🙄! #Pinks #USDemocracy

Bezos on Trump: "I think he's a more mature, more disciplined of himself than he was in his first term. Trump has lots of good ideas. He's been right about a lot of things. You have to give him credit where credit is due."

tRump brazenly says he “doesn’t even think about” skyrocketing gas prices, calling them “peanuts” while saying he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation at all. As his Iran war drives prices up over 50% he couldn’t care less. Completely out of touch, cold, & heartless. mcsp.short.gy/Sk0w

Incredible performance by David Byrne on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert! Dance, Stephen, Dance!

Mark Carney said Ukraine may be outside NATO’s direct responsibility — but not outside Canada’s values. Canada will keep working with partners, he said, because Ukraine is going to triumph and Canada will be on the right side of history.

In a world where cruelty has become a badge of honor for a third of the country, forgive me if I geek out a little admiring one of the most decent people I have the privilege to know - Chris Webber - interviewing CA gubernatorial candidate, Xavier Becerra, who is both qualified and decent!

Sen. Van Hollen: Will people who assaulted Capitol Police officers be eligible for this slush fund? Blanche: Anyone is eligible to apply. Sen. Van Hollen: Will there be rules that say if you assaulted a Capitol Police officer you won't be eligible? Blanche: I'm not on the Commission.

Former Vice President Mike Pence says people who assaulted police officers on Jan. 6 should not receive taxpayer compensation under President Trump's IRS settlement.

Behind every problem is a disgustingly rich greedy bastard trying to make even more profit. Housing, Healthcare, Energy, Food. It's always the same problem.

Marty Makary went on Fox News and lied to all of us, saying that 10 children died from COVID19 vaccines. The report actually said, “No cases [of pediatric deaths] were classified as certain in relation to COVID-19 vaccination”. Makary also said that FDA approvals were a “mockery of science”.

Georgia! Jon Ossoff has been a great Senator and deserves to keep his seat. Please vote! Do not sit this out! He has delivered lower insulin prices, bipartisan infrastructure bill, is fighting to ban congressional stock trading & corruption, & fought for oversight to correct injustices. VOTE!

UPDATE: Judge in Trump’s bullshit IRS lawsuit closes the case with prejudice BUT she notes there’s no “settlement” that resolved this case. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

We need more people like this pastor speaking the truth!!

Correct. None of this ever happened. No insurance, no navy escorts, no free flow of energy. The Strait is still closed, and there's no evidence of a plan to open it. We're back to wishful thinking combined with bluster, bullying, and threats on the Internet. Trump appears impotent and flailing.
