I’ve seen headlines reporting the settlement (slush fund) in the Trump IRS case as $1.7 or $1.8 billion. It’s worse than that. They’re trolling us. The settlement is $1.776 billion. 1776, get it?

Models show 762,000 preventable deaths have occurred due to the dismantling of USAID. Peer reviewed research indicates 14,000,000 deaths by 2030. A large percentage are children. These are scientific studies by our most prestigious schools of public health. No one even talks about it now.

My Congresswoman. She represents constituents from Boone to Mayodan. Her district borders TN and VA. Due to NC being extremely gerrymandered, she represents a large portion of the citizens of Greensboro. Greensboro has much different priorities than the mostly rural areas in the district.

Trump just now on Charles III visit-he’s a quality person, he did a good job, he got the Democrats to stand (during his address to the joint session of Congress). He can’t understand that Charles was calling out his authoritarianism and his Republican Party was the one with the shaky reactions.

Powell will step down as Federal Reserve Chair, but retain his Governor seat until 2028. Why wouldn’t he? Justice is appealing the ruling throwing out subpoenas. The admin is probably playing Tillis (my Senator) for the fool he is. Trump never forgets an imagined slight. They can’t be trusted.

Yet another intervention brought to you by the “government shouldn’t pick winners and losers” crowd.

A blockade is, by definition, an act of war. It is not an excursion or an operation or whatever else State, DOD or the White House wants to call it. Where is Congress? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockade

Escalate to de-escalate sounds a lot like destroy the village to save it.

But Barack Obama wore a tan suit and Michelle wore a sleeveless dress and tried to feed healthy food to kids. Kamala supposedly had a weird laugh, so she couldn't be President, instead we get all of this shit and a war too!

The last time we heard, “we don’t want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud” it was covering for a lie. Netanyahu has been declaring Iran to be weeks away from a nuclear weapon since the 1990’s. We are in a war of Trump’s choice. The American people are against it. Impeach and remove him.

Government today is the result of the Unitary Executive theory pushed by Dick Cheney et al. Trump is not some rogue actor breaking norms, guidelines & laws. He is what Republicans have wanted for decades. Now they call Democrats the greatest threat to the US. Vote them out at every opportunity.

A 25 year reign of corruption and partisan rigging of our state’s politics. He will not be missed by anyone that cares about fairness or representation of people over corporate interests.

For Ghislaine Maxwell, “I wish her well.” For Robert Mueller, “Good. I’m glad he’s dead.”

The past 28 days timeline….

The Dow is below 46,000 (points, not dollars). Can Pam Bondi comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act now?

Requiring judicial warrants to enter a home is not a negotiating item. It’s in the Constitution.

The Dow is below 47,000 (points, not dollars). Can Pam Bondi comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act now?

The Dow is below 48,000 (points, not dollars). Can Pam Bondi comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act now?

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is below 49,000 (points, not dollars). Can Pam Bondi comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act now?

I wonder if Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is thinking of the Dow at 50,000 this morning.

Today’s mission….accomplished!

A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

“I think it’s a shame, to be honest. I always liked him.” Hillary was “a very capable woman.” “I hate to see it in many ways.”- DJT Republicans have not only set a precedent by threatening criminal contempt for a past President, remember Bill Clinton was subpoenaed by Ken Starr while in office.

With Bitcoin collapsing, it’s a good time to resurrect Charlie Munger’s take on crypto. Posted 11 months ago

I want to laugh at it but sadly it’s true.

Can someone in the press ask Bondi or Blanche if anyone will lose their job over publishing victims phone numbers, birth dates, full names, drivers licenses, nude photographs, etc, while redacting predators information in the Epstein files?

It’s been a dozen years and I’m not sure what brought it back to the fore. Respect and reverence for the families of the 2 children that lost their lives. As a retired pilot, once you get past the ugliness of the implied racism, the gullibility of the local tv station is hard to fathom.

How long before Vance decides his move is to distance himself from Trump? He knows his best chance of ever being president is Trump not finishing his term. Cabinet won’t turn on Trump, but a Democrat-led impeachment after midterms would do it. That timeline wouldn’t count as a full term either.

Rep Ilhan Omar attacked at a town hall meeting with her constituents. Gee, I didn’t know Congress members could do such a thing (as meet with those they purport to represent). Seems none of mine know that that’s a thing.

Probably not a good thing

Just spitballing, but I’d say sending Bag Man Homan 50000 to run ICE operations in Minnesota, while Bondi extorts the state for voter information, is a sign that the puppy snuffing Noem is losing her platform and is on the way out.

Apologies to Mel Brooks et al Springtime for Trumpers in Washington MAGAworld is happy and gay Gravy Seals aren’t Minnesota nice Look out, here comes ICE Springtime for Trumpers in Washington Winter for Greenland and Danes Springtime for Trumpers in Washington Come on, MAGA, reclaim your brains

When I was a kid, the guys demanding to see your papers were the bad guys. Fast forward 60 years and nothing has changed.

Ah, the good old days when this was the stupid trick of the day.

But Obama wore a tan suit youtube.com/shorts/V6DIj...

Can’t believe I’m going to be rolling in the dough! $2000 tariff check $5000 DOGE dollars And that’s on top of whatever George Soros decides to send me! Who’s the lucky guy? 🤠

The “Acting President of Venezuela,” should read the US Constitution. “no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

1/4 Setting aside the speculation of WHO is implicated in the files and WHY the files are being suppressed, the focus should be on the fact that the people’s voice in government spoke 427-1 in the House and by unanimous consent in the Senate to pass the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

“The most transparent administration” is shutting out MN state criminal investigators to cover up a murder. Par for the course. Release the Epstein files. Release Jack Smith’s report Volume II.

1500 followers. Here’s a video from 40+ years ago that’s every bit as relevant as it ever was.

The interesting thing about bombing Venezuela and kidnapping their president is that Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche are breaking the law by not releasing the Epstein files.

Today’s consumer confidence report shows a drop in sentiment for the fifth straight month. The guy who has told tens of thousands of documented lies over 5 years in office is now telling you to believe only him, that any negativity is all in your head.

Having some difficulty coming up with the right term for someone that fires members of the board at one of the nation’s premier cultural institutions, makes himself chairman, then renames the institution for themself. Insecure man child Felonious fascistic narcissist Douchy dipshit Suggestions?

Total conjecture on my part, but it seems logical (Trump logic) that Trump will use tonight’s televised address to announce the commencement of land operations in Venezuela. Release the Epstein files. Release Jack Smith’s report Volume II.
