Wait! Doesn’t this mean we pay?

Pras Michel was indicted for failing to register as a foreign agent when he and Elliot Broidy lobbied Trump to drop the case against Jho Low for plundering 1MDB - the guy whose yacht Bannon was on when post office cops arrested him for his "We Build the Wall" scheme. Oh, the tangled webs we weave.

Corporations as vectors of chronic disease, @nejm.org Calling out 6 commercial products that contribute to 31% of all deaths globally. Chemicals include pesticides, PFAS, manufactured. And counterstrategies to address www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/...

The US invaded and is looting Venezuela and Trump's boy says that the Venezuelan people are going to put up a statue of the looter-in-chief? Burgum claims that the stolen gold is going to be used for "industrial purposes". Give me a break. He's smiling because he's going to pocket some of that gold.

Is it any wonder people feel the system is rigged?

AOC: Companies like Palantir are mining endlessly the data and privacy of the American people—keeping track of everything that they say and do. And sending it to a militarized government. 

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco is a right-wing extremist. If he becomes governor of California, he’ll be a direct extension of Donald Trump. “I am the antithesis to California state government because I am going to take a nuclear bomb into that building…”

"We health professionals must call urgent attention to this silent but deadly assault [EPA dismantling] on American's health...." @nejm.org www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Please also investigate the 2024 election. Look at what was found in St. Lucie Florida whose voter rolls were hacked by Russia in 2016. There are people you can team up with. www.youtube.com/watch?v=chim...

Congress needs to act and demand that Trump NOT seize Kharg island. Make a war resolution specially for this and for NOT using any ground troops unless approved by Congress first.

These police departments are paid to be beholden to their city and citizens. This is an inherent conflict of interest, and they are double dipping in terms of compensation. All of this must be outlawed!!!!

“As far as I can tell, it’s the practice of ICE to throw everybody’s documents into a black box and then lose it."

In 2020, Trump allegedly took classified docs to Mar-A-Lago that related to his business interests. Others were so classified only 6 people had seen them. There’s a report on this huge scandal. But a judge is keeping it hidden. We’re fighting for its release. americanoversight.org/american-ove...

You do not have to be a lawyer to see that this is outrageous. This is a symptom of a Department of Justice that does not respect or care about the law. (And, kudos to the AUSAs who signed this letter)

🚨BREAKING: An exclusive Democracy Docket investigation shows that California sheriff who seized ballots once wrote "Some people should never be allowed to vote." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

When coerced debt occurs between intimate partners, it can be relegated to an interpersonal, rather than legal matter, leaving it up to individual survivors to navigate complicated financial institutions.

According to the Cato Institute, The Trump administration is reportedly receiving millions of immigration applications, pocketing the hefty fees, and never processing the applications. It’s collected over $1 billion in fees so far. Where is the outcry over this fraud and abuse?

There are almost 1,500 287(g) agreements in place across the country, where ICE and local police are partnered. This financial part of these agreements raises serious questions about the shifting focus of local police departments.

We also obtained documents that show the state police requesting permission to increase their budget to account for potential reimbursements from ICE, including an additional $3 million for salaries from federal funds for FY 2026.

ICE offers $100K for a new vehicle to police dpts that submit a 287(g) agreement and up to $7.5K for equipment for each officer that finishes task force training. Louisiana State Police are eligible to be reimbursed for $100k for a vehicle and $780K for 104 officers from ICE.

Reporting from @wired.com shows ICE paid the salaries of the entire police force in a NH town thanks to a 287(g) agreement that enlists local police to aid immigration crackdowns. We obtained records showing something similar in Louisiana – they expect millions of dollars from ICE.

This is what happens when a president relies on his inexperienced, ethically compromised son‑in‑law, a real‑estate investor with reported back‑channel ties to Israeli intel, and a vocal Putin sympathizer to handle extremely sensitive peace negotiations instead of using professional career diplomats.

The Putin-Trump-Netanyahu Axis continues to attempt to influence the Hungarian people’s attempt to throw out their corrupt ruler who desperately clings to power. American stands with authoritarians around the world.

The exact same election rules are now in place when Republicans won the presidency, house and senate in 2024. But now suddenly Republicans are unable to win another election without the SAVE Act because everyone has been cheating. Makes sense.

2/to what it’s not investigating

Rather than examining why the GOP is investing such enormous political capital in a bill that strips voting rights from millions of Americans, the media focuses on whether it might backfire politically. I want to warn you and I want there to be a record. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/ther...

Of course, TSA agents are pissed. ICE is getting paid, and they’re not.

Bannon called it “another 5D chess move from Trump” pointing out that ICE agents are trained to check IDs, making airport duty “perfect training for the fall of 2026.” This is not subtle. They’re telling you exactly what they’re planning.

Davis agreed, saying ICE should be stationed at polling places to stop non-citizens from voting. Bannon went further: “Pick ’em out of line starting today, and maybe the lines will get shorter.”

On this weeks War Room podcast, Bannon told conservative lawyer Mike Davis: “We can use what’s happening with these ICE authorities helping out at the airports, we can use this as a test run, as a test case to really perfect ICE’s involvement in the 2026 midterm elections.”

We need to talk about this... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trading-on-trump

"You can’t drink the water here. The smell is bad, and it hurts our stomachs a lot." "I have been served raw meat at Dilley. One woman became so sick from eating the food that she began vomiting blood." First-person accounts paint a bleak picture of the Dilley Immigration Processing Center.

NEW: WOW: In their haste to discredit Jack Smith’s January 6th probe, Trump’s DOJ (maybe) inadvertently gave Congress a memo detailing Trump’s motive for hoarding classified docs - a potential violation of Judge Cannon’s block on material relating to Volume II. 1/ www.ms.now/news/trump-c...

The SEC's top enforcer just quit after Trump-appointed agency leaders pushed her to go easy on Trump's family and donors, including Elon Musk and crypto mogul Justin Sun. Trump's inner circle is raking it in at your expense — and his cronies are letting them get away with it.

In January, the Trump administration announced that it had completed its dismantling of the Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office, another Biden-era climate program. They didn’t. From our colleagues at @grist.org:

Acting on a tip from the TSA, ICE identified and detained a woman and her 9-year-old daughter in the San Francisco airport last weekend. They were deported two days later. We’re suing the Trump admin to learn more about the TSA-ICE data-sharing agreement. americanoversight.org/american-ove...

"Well, as you know..." is a common highly-manipulative language tactic signaling a false premise/outright lie. No. I know nothing of the sort – because it's not true. You. Are. Lying.

You’re wrong babe. As someone smarter than me said, “He didn’t resign in disgrace. He resigned in disgust.” youtu.be/KC8vIOGfTfA?...

115 years ago today, dangerous working conditions sparked the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, claiming the lives of nearly 150 workers. Today, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration exists to prevent similar workplace tragedies — but Trump is gutting it at every turn.

MacFarlane: There is a new inquiry into the Trump Mar-a-Lago classified records matter According to this new inquiry, it suggests that records were either seen or shared by Trump outside the presidency that were so highly classified that only six people in the American government had access to them

1/ Trump just endorsed Viktor Orbán’s re‑election again after doing the same in 2022. Orbán has hollowed out Hungary’s democracy by capturing the media, attacking independent universities, and rewriting the constitution to entrench one‑party rule.

The US once promised safety for Afghans who helped the US military fight the Taliban in their country. No longer. How the Trump administration has upended Afghan immigration policy on @revealnews.org's “More To The Story."

Hello? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/24/u...

Saudi Arabia reportedly wants Trump to launch a ground invasion of Iran. Remember: Trump's family has deep business ties to Saudi Arabia, including new luxury properties in Riyadh and Jeddah. Trump cannot be trusted to put protecting American lives over lining his own pockets.

The point of no return: New evidence shows Antarctic melting is already locked in

If you think the California governor’s race is a shitshow, you’re right. USC canceled tonight’s debate. It was controversial because every candidate of color was excluded, and the school’s explanation was weak. Matt Mahan entered late, was polling below Becerra, and still got an invite. 1/2

1/ Claims that we need ICE at polling places to stop undocumented people from voting are not grounded in evidence; documented cases of noncitizen voting are rare, already illegal, and nowhere near a scale that could justify federal immigration agents at the polls.

Musk got his guy in charge of NASA to direct many billions of taxpayer dollars to pay for Musk's hobbies and dreams on something that will in no way benefit the average American. bsky.app/profile/atru...
