The president is allowed to appoint the attorney general who investigates him, the IRS chief who would audit him, and the OMB head who distributes the money from Congress. PLUS he gets a gigantic military he can move around anywhere. Truly, it's a miracle we made it this long with this idiocy.

I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

Trump couldn’t steal this much money or murder this many people without the aid of an entire political party full of fellow thieves and murderers.

This commentary will resonate for years to come because it's 100% spot on calling out what the world is witnessing while members of the MAGA Republican Cult pretend they're not fascist racists! www.huffpost.com/entry/marsha...

The Fourteenth Amendment, written in the blood of the Civil War, says in Section 4 that this is blatantly illegal: “[N]either the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States.”

It's the Rabbture. Big win. The Democratic establishment and AIPAC threw everything at Rabb and he still won.

Congratulations again to all of the legal and media elites who tried to pass of this fifth-rate reactionary as some kind of moral sage

The Brown v. Board ruling happened 72 years ago today. The reversal of the Supreme Court’s previous “separate but equal” decision highlights how it’s possible to overcome bad SCOTUS decisions. But it took years of activism from brave people to get there. Keep fighting.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani mocks Ronald Reagan's infamous quote. "I can think of nine words more terrifying than 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help..'" Zohran disagrees and says the most terrifying words are: "I worked all day and can't feed my family."

They don’t they appear to be concerned, do they? The fix is in. The elections either won’t happen or won’t matter. We’re not “on the brink of authoritarianism”. We have arrived. Trump’s almost $2 billion of our money will incentivize his private army of loyalists.

Why bother voting for Democrats.

Almost none of the public discussion about the Iran war has included even passing references to the looming bond market calamity. This is no longer a serious country.

America must eradicate the filth of the GOP. Decent people need to surgically remove the cancer of conservatism. (Speaking of money and power, the wealthy need to pay their #FairShare of taxes.)

Notice they keep calling it a settlement agreement. Over and over. Sane washing the fact that this isn’t a settlement. It’s not pursuant to a lawsuit. It not approved by a court. It JUST THEFT.

should've never been awarded any govt contracts. We had quality standards we had to be in compliance with, in order to remain govt contractors, and it looks like Starlink doesn't have to be in compliance with anything. Hopefully, these hunks of junk won't fall in populated areas and injure someone.

He’s first in line for our tax money.

Well, well, well. In 2025, Brendan Carr’s wife “joined billionaire Peter Thiel’s data analytics firm, Palantir Technologies, as its head of global policy.” 4/28/25 … 1/ www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

More than half the population is in a profound state of depression. Our democratic machinery is too slow to respond. I wish we could have Snap elections like some European countries do. Call early elections and throw the MFs out. Oh well, we have a 2 year cycle and we must make the most of it. 😡

We’ve kept ICE funding blocked since January, but Republicans are now trying to rush it through — and they’re hoping you’re too distracted to notice.

"These are ppl that were weaponized". Yes. By You (Trump). You weaponized them to attack the capital for the purpose of overturning an election You lost.

I don't think folks younger than 30 know what the internet once legitimately promised to be (and I would argue briefly was): a boundary-less space of pretty much uncommodified information and communication. A mix between community bulletin boards and university library stacks.

This is the Secretary of Defense campaigning in KY while on duty being paid by US taxpayers. It is a completely lawless gangster government in every area at all levels.

Donald Trump is obsessed with the fact that I beat him 60x in court in 2020. That same year I started Democracy Docket to give you the information and analysis you need to stay informed and fight back against his lies. Support its work by subscribing now. bit.ly/4a7l1TR

Trump to women in the crowd: "You look so beautiful and nice. You two, come over here."

Trump's Smash and Grab Plan To Steal America Has Been a Stunning Success Like Bond villains, Trump & his Confederacy of Billionaires are no longer hiding their plot to steal all of our resources, leaving our youth to participate in scams & get-rich schemes. thelefthook.substack.com/p/trumps-sma...

Mark Cuban stands behind Trump as Trump speaks on behalf of stealing from taxpayers. This is why you don't go to the White House to do events with Trump -- you end up disgracing yourself.

Q: Do you regret supporting former Vice President Kamala Harris? MARK CUBAN: I'm not going into my politics at all

Can anyone explain to me why Israel (& only Israel) can order people from another country to evacuate their city? Israel has issued an evacuation order for Tyre in Lebanon, displacing 200,000 more people. I suppose as long as its only 'them' & not 'us' being displaced, it's okay? #warcrimes

So much respect for this exceptional leader! Mamdani disputes Reagan claiming the 9 scariest words are “I’m from the government & I’m here to help,” saying: “9 more terrifying words are actually 'I worked all day, and can't feed my family.' Share everywhere! #uspoli substack.com/@rawstory/no...

Sean Duffy has caught heat for taking his large family on an extended road trip funded by corporate sponsors—from Google, NBC/Comcast and more—that have spent millions lobbying the government.

NEW: Donald just STOLE $1.7B from us to pay insurrectionists. I have some important info about this. Please share widely.

Yes!! Impeach Governor Jared Polis!!

Remember when Trump said he'd agree to an FBI investigation to get Brett confirmed and then Wray handed over the 4500 tips to Trump and wouldn't interview anyone who corroborated Dr. Ford's story, yet Brett was confirmed? Yeah, it's a rape cult. The bench is a bust.
