A not long time ago, in a cornfield not far, far away...

The president launched a Gold Card visa program allowing immigrants to pay $1 MILLION to the Commerce Department's gift account to receive expedited US residency. No, we're not making this up...

ICE is expanding its use of iris recognition technology, with plans to deploy hundreds of scanning devices across the country. The practice raises concerns among privacy experts that the Department of Homeland Security is amassing a database of biometric data. n.pr/4dAMaAo

This is a wild story, and sadly quite easy to believe.

Trump knows that the Epstein Files aren’t going away which is why he wants to make sure he has pedophiles and pedophile adjacent pals in Congress. Texas Republicans prefer pedophiles over people.

Democrats must stop talking about autopsies and start showing signs of life #TheHill

Stephen Colbert has a YouTube Channel. www.youtube.com/channel/UCGt...

Someday an academic will hit the total button on how many lives have been lost because of MAGA Republicans, and the number will show that Trump is a mass murderer.

1. Lead Left, a super PAC created on 4/24, purports to stand "against MAGA extremists." It has spent $3M+ in Democratic primaries. But it's funders and motivations have been secret. Until now. It's a GOP dirty tricks operation. 🧵

The State Department supposedly sent $1.5 billion tax dollars to the Board of Peace slush fund, which is now empty.

I’d rather have a senator who eats meatless breakfast tacos than a senator who eats Trump’s ass.

SCOOP: BusPatrol, a company that has installed AI-powered cameras in tens of thousands of school buses around the U.S., now plans to turn those cameras into automatic license plate readers and give that data to law enforcement, 404 Media has learned.

@mark-carney.bsky.social “Israel is blowing up entire villages and residential neighborhoods in Lebanon, killing 200 to 300 civilians every 48-96 hours, calling it a ceasefire, and proudly sharing the footage of international law violations online, with absolutely no consequences.” M.S. (UN)

"What they're telling you is there IS enough money for a 1 billion ballroom, to quadruple the size of ICE, for 1 billion dollars a day on a war of choice. But they're telling you there isn't enough money for you, as an American. For your community. For your kitchen table." LET THEM EAT CAKE! 🍰

faking an assassination attempt so you don't have to go to a wedding sounds like a curb your enthusiasm episode

There's already a 1,000-capacity golden ballroom just a mile from the White House www.newsweek.com/inside-dc-me...

As painful as it is to read, this should be spread far and wide.

Trump’s illegal plan to gut the US Forest Service would destroy public lands and harm millions. We won’t let him turn our forests into a giveaway for his donors. Stop it now!

GRIFTERS stick together...

Trump broke the law by not reporting these trades on time—paying only a $200 fine: 💰$215K in Thermo Fisher bought before praising it in his official capacity 💰$2M–$7.2M in Apple before a speech 💰$50K–$100K in Micron before promoting it on a talk show

So $1.8 billion in reparations for insurrectionists, and zero for Epstein victims? Am I getting this right?

NEW: An $11,000 golf cart. More than $7,000 on TV subscriptions. $1.5 million in office renovations. Those were among the expenses that one sheriff’s office billed to a settlement aimed at rooting out racial profiling in the department. With @azluminaria.org

NYT op-ed sounds dire alarm that Trump found a way to finance MAGA paramilitary groups #RawStory

Most corruption is harder to trace. This one is very easy to trace. After this administration it will take years of prosecuting people for all the financial crimes committed. Links: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/20/u... thehill.com/policy/healt...

When did the motto of the United States get changed from "E Pluribus Unum" to "We Don't Give a Fuck About You Unless You're a Billionaire"?

🚨Last night in House Appropriations, all Republicans present voted to allow THEMSELVES to get settlements from the January 6th Slush Fund. I am not making this up.

Jesus fuck. What fucking asshole at the Heritage Foundation has a problem with bees?

Trump planning to build helipad at White House for new Marine One: Reports #TheHill

The maker of jets that crashed and killed everyone onboard and the carmaker fined tens of millions for mishandled recalls have suddenly decided to sponsor their top regulator's reality show purely for the love of the open road www.wsj.com/business/boe...

Nothing like ringing in America’s 250th with a full military-style occupation of the capital. Senior Trump administration officials announced today that there will be a surge of law enforcement operations across Washington, D.C. this summer as the nation marks the 250th anniversary of independence.

No reporter will ever challenge trump on this because it fights their reality that he’s operating on another level to which mortals can only aspire

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $270B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $210B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

Former DOJ pardon attorney @lawyeroyer.com on potential Trump IRS heist: “This is like a bank heist if, you know, the teller, the bank teller’s in on it, the security guard at the door is also in on it. Everybody is conspiring to steal money from the bank.”

There's so much projection in MAGAland -- complaining that Democrats did something, then doing it themselves a hundred times over -- it can get a little numbing. But their complaints about family members profiting off the presidency might be their biggest bit of projection ever. It's a crime spree.

Trump and the GOP are going full racist—rigging the political system to disempower Black voters in order to hang on to power— and not even bothering to hide it.

"Duffy said on Fox that the show was filmed over the course of seven months. He’s paid $203,500 annually, so that’s $118,708 in taxpayer dollars paid to him while he was at least mixing work and play." @kylekhanmullins.bsky.social for Forbes

This is simply bonkers. The White House is in active discussions with DOJ about settling Trump's lawsuit against the IRS in his favor, *precisely because* a judge might soon throw it out. WH apparently wants DOJ to agree to "settle" the lawsuit *before* that happens. Utter insanity.

it's hard to believe and MAKES ME SICK TO MY STOMACH - the number of corrupt, self-dealing, TOTALLY ILLEGAL un-american etc., etc., things trump gets away with On the other hand, President Obama wore a tan suit...
