The IRS has agreed to not audit Trump's taxes. In 2024, we found the IRS concluded in a long-running audit that Trump effectively claimed the same massive write-off twice on a failed Chicago tower. That audit could have cost him more than $100 million. (From May 2024 w/ @nytimes.com)

Functionally indistinguishable from the way Putin talks about Ukraine & Xi talks about Taiwan.

Presidents rise to the occasion to fix the economy to ease the pain caused to Americans

People BEFORE machines. All day, every day. It's INSANE That has to be said, but when utilities are diverting power from real, living people TO DATA CENTERS, it is an existential crisis. 🚨This is not a drill.🚨 Today, it's Lake Tahoe. Tomorrow? Who knows. Fuck AI.

Look at the corrupt stock trades Trump thought we wouldn’t find www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-just...

Just unbelievable corruption. He said he would drain the swamp, instead he brought in the swampiest administration in history, declared himself Supreme Emperor of Swampopia, and ordered his justice department to essentially give his entirely family immunity.

Nine New Restrictive Voting Laws Will Be in Effect in Different States This November electionlawblog.org?p=156256

VAN HOLLEN: An individual who was pardoned by Trump went on to molest 2 children, & he tried to buy their silence by saying he would give them funds from your slush fund. Can you commit to not making that person eligible for a payout? BLANCHE: You're obviously lying V: I am reporting what he said

If you live in Georgia, you can make history by defeating two right-wing members of the state Supreme Court today. Make your plan to vote: IWillVote.com

Trump's DOJ is funneling your tax dollars to a slush fund to pay off Trump's buddies & allies, like rioters who stormed the Capitol & assaulted police on Jan 6th.

An outrageous abuse of power.

Trump uses other nations as an excuse as he TACOs.

Trump, who regularly marshals the full power of the federal government to go after his (real and imagined) enemies has now ordered US taxpayers to hand him $1.8 billion to dole out to his supporters in any fashion he pleases. He wants his violent supporters to know that crime pays--well.

Lunatic

It doesn’t matter if gas hits $15/gallon, the stock markets crash, all our farms go bankrupt and everything is gobbled up by the oligarchs, republicans can always count on convincing 20-30% of the population that those different from them are hurting more than they are. Hate is a helluva drug.

What Trump is doing to the world. From The Economist:

It's good they're quoting scholars here to dismiss the fiction that America was founded as a Christian nation, but you can just read the Constitution yourself. There are only three references to religion in it, all meant to keep it out of government, to avoid conflicts that had rocked Europe.

If China moves to annex Taiwan, no one can say the warnings were hidden. Trump is making deterrence look negotiable, allies are doubting America’s defense commitments, and Beijing is signaling that China is rising as the U.S. declines. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/the-gather...

These are lawless violent vigilantes, not “patriots” or “martyrs.” Trump has already pardoned them. They most certainly should not now get paid from Trump’s proposed $1.7B fund.

Corruption and market manipulation on an epic scale.

If you connect ChatGPT to your bank account…well…I just don’t even know what to tell you.

Large Ebola Outbreak Is Declared in Congo Dozens of deaths and hundreds of infections are suspected, an African agency said. Health experts were alarmed that the outbreak hadn’t been announced sooner. Its a plane flight away. And we are not prepared. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/15/w...

You’ll notice the American state media and scumbags like CNN’s propagandist Jake Tapper spent every day attacking President Biden whilst he did good work yet refuse to mention that the orange felon is set to steal billions of taxpayer dollars to gift to his criminal allies.

💔🤍💙😢 "Spare a moment, please, for the lame-duck superpower. It calls itself the leader of the free world, but the free world no longer believes it. When it extends its hand, nobody rushes to accept. When it threatens, nobody trembles."

"“It’s possible that we’re starting to see the consequences of severe and sudden cuts to global health programs that have eroded surveillance and allowed deadly viruses to spread undetected...” www.nytimes.com/2026/05/15/w...

Brazen corruption.

“.. This is an insane amount of trades,” he said, adding that it looks more like something done by “a hedge fund with massive algo trades” that buys and shorts securities than a personal account. @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

But we do punish them for illegal actions, which is what she went to prison for. What a numb nuts.

Trump’s legacy will be turning China into a global super economy and America into a “nation in decline.”

All the car parks to the supermarkets and hyper markets in this area are done. Plus quite a few much smaller parking areas. All new agricultural buildings have solar panel roofs as well.

A national embarrassment.

Corporations reportedly received “VIP invitations” to “networking” events in exchange for sponsoring Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s road trip. The sponsors included Boeing, Toyota, and United Airlines — all of which are regulated by Duffy’s department. The corruption never ends.

Might have to post this annually until we do something.

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry (R) defended his decision to suspend his state’s ongoing primary election to redraw the congressional maps, even after 45,000 ballots had already been cast, saying that discarding those votes was “not a big” deal. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Evidence of Trump's severe cognitive impairment was on display everywhere yesterday.
