Trump's ever-expanding list of taxpayer grifts: -$1.8B slush fund for political allies -$1B for ballroom "security" -$1B for Qatar jet refurbishments -$230M in DOJ "compensation" -$100M+ for golf outings When he says he "doesn't think about Americans' financial situation," I believe him.

"This is an important thing to think about."

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan. Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

“It was not unanimous. I was muted and not allowed to speak.” 🤔

“Between May and June of this year, lower courts ruled against Trump 94.3% of the time, going against him in 82 of 87 cases. During that same period, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the administration 93.7% of the time in 15 of 16 cases.”https://www.rawstory.com/supreme-court-2674298367/

It seems essential that anyone working for ICE or an immigrant detention center remember that in 2025, nazis are still being prosecuted. Crimes cannot be sanctioned by employers

If you watch only one video today, let it be this one. Watch NYU Stern School of Business Professor Scott Galloway’s outstanding commentary on what prosperity and wealth should mean in America. His words could not be more on point and timely. Please pass it on.

A developing political scandal in Florida has put Gov. Ron DeSantis on the defensive. Republican lawmakers are investigating how $10 million in state money was diverted for use in a campaign.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

Wisconsinites rely on the Affordable Care Act to access essential healthcare. But, WI Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel sued to overturn the #ACA and take away healthcare coverage from thousands. We can't trust Schimel to stand up for us on the court - vote for Judge Susan Crawford by April 1st.

From spurned federal workers to frustrated residents, a surge of Americans across the political spectrum are considering running for office

The destruction realized in 30 days is absolutely inconceivable.

Backing down on tariffs 24 hours later—would really like to know who bet against the market and how much they made from it.

There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

I finally went public...decided to stir the pot on my "social" site. Almost all of the responses have been positive. No going back now. Too long to repost here

This is David Lebryk, a 30-year veteran of the Treasury Department and Acting Secretary. He is being forced out by Elon Musk because he refused to provide Musk with sensitive internal government payment information. 🤬🤬🤬 Share everywhere if you stand with Secretary Lebryk against Musk!

I paid to subscribe to several more independent publications today. We have to fund reporters who are willing and able to take a stand, put money behind good journalism, and ensure that there will be uncompromising reporting on culture, politics, and technology

Had not heard of this audible alternative!

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

They look miserable bcuz they know they sold our Country to Nazi. They’re not Oligarchs. They are Deplorables. Don’t call them what they want. You control their narrative.

CARTOON OF THE DAY 😳🌍🔥

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon. - @aaronparnas.bsky.social

I have now seen the Ann Telnaes cartoon of Jeff Bezos's supplication before Donald Trump more often today than I've seen any other cartoon during the entire rest of the year. So, well played, Washington Post.

I will miss our wonderful senator!! Before leaving Washington, Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown restores retirement benefits for public workers ohiocapitaljournal.com/2024/12/30/b...

Please oh please let this man be honored and buried in the next 20 days so everything will be done with dignity. God Bless you Jimmy Carter

Well done RollingStone for reporting it accurately.

I like this…..

I think this should be kind of a big deal: Elon Musk tweeting at 1:03am, “Only the AfD can save Germany.” The AfD is Germany’s neo-Nazi party.

Here are the 6 MAGA extremists (and their public phone numbers) who have intro'd a bill to allow South Carolina to execute women who receive an abortion. If you haven't heard about SC H3537, it's because corporate media has ignored it. Here's how to fight back: www.qasimrashid.com/p/s-carolina...

Rep. Balint: "Who is it that we're negotiating with? It sure looks like we're negotiating with a boy billionaire who is playing at government. And why is he doing that? Because he's got $15 billion wrapped up in federal programs."
