Suing His Own IRS? Creating a $1.8 Billion Slush Fund? What the Hell Is Trump Trying to Pull? #MotherJones

Trump's fucked them over since 2016 yet farmers went 77% for Trump in '24. I'd say fuck 'em, they're just reaping what they sowed. & as a farmer how are you crying about it? www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

How Trump Perfected The Grift: Selling Out America to Tyrants and Broligarchs Trump & his billionaire friends aren't even hiding the grift anymore. They are openly making illegal deals, engaging in insider trading, and profiting from war and chaos thelefthook.substack.com/p/how-trump-...

Tough guy! "When asked about a 'major cyberattack' from China, Trump shrugged indifferently. 'It is what it is,' he said... "Confronted with evidence that China was assisting Iran in its war with the U.S., Trump called China's actions just 'one of those things'...” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

It's all a fucking robbery. "“Outright lies,” Beyers wrote Friday on X. “Trump’s assets aren’t in a blind trust, and he bought and sold individual Nvidia stock in 15 separate transactions totaling millions of dollars." www.huffpost.com/entry/outrig...

“.. 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...

Trump once again finding an excuse to side with the dictator he wants deals and attention from while selling our struggling democracy ally. It seems to be his pattern. www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

C-SPAN Trump Voter: “Before he went to war the strait was open and gas prices were beautiful… he put up gold statues of himself… I drank the kool-aid— when are people gonna wake up?” (From @nowthisimpact.bsky.social )

MacFarlane: And there’s that enormous monumental arch they’re planning that critics say would overshadow Arlington National Cemetery. Some iconography meant to make the president’s legacy stand out in the landscape is not only a major expense, it’s also a potential eyesore.

The Trump admin tried to use an unrelated White House engineering contract to quietly start construction on Trump’s personal “Triumphal Arch” skipping competitive public bidding altogether. The arch isn’t on White House grounds. It’s on NPS land near Arlington National Cemetery, over a mile away.

The U.S. government requires visa applicants to make all of their social media accounts fully public or risk being denied entry. This is straight out of 1984. Your right to privacy doesn’t just disappear at the border for millions of people, it disappears before they ever set foot here.

This is what I mean when I say " so called moderate" Democrat. Just go join the Republican party & stop the pretence.

Kaitlan Collins: "Tina Peters gave Mike Lindell her badge so he could access the Mesa County election system." Jared Polis: "Lindell did not have access to the system." "It came after Trump tried to overturn the 2020 election." "You're speaking to her beliefs."

MEMPHIS @repcohen.bsky.social on his decision not to run again: “I don’t want to quit. I’m not a quitter. But these districts were drawn to beat me… Memphis is my home and that’s what I fight for — otherwise I’ll be retiring from Congress, and I guess from public life.”

Just a thought, the cuts to rural healthcare are starting to come into effect. Hospital services are being cut as well as some closing all together. The Red states are being affected more than the Blue.... www.dtnpf.com/agriculture/...

"I'm just trying to rebuild and take care of our future." When you work this hard to get off the street and you still have no healthcare and your housing is at risk, we have failed as a country. #WeCantAffordTrump

Penile implant specialist with history of far-right comments led hantavirus presser

📌Trump this morning to a press gaggle on AF1: “I had a total military victory (in Iran).” In just six words he summed up perfectly what a dangerous totalitarian leader sounds like. This will barely get a mention in our press, which has normalized the extreme danger we are in.

Mike Johnson: "The president has declared Operation Epic Fury to have concluded, and now we're working on the next project, which is getting the Strait of Hormuz open. We don't expect that to be a warfare activity, so to speak. I don't think Congress needs to get in the way of the administration."

The Trump admin is withholding $1.3B in federal Medicaid payments from CA. This is illegal. The administration claims CA failed to combat fraud in the program, but unilaterally cutting Medicaid funding without congressional approval isn’t something the executive branch has the authority to do!

THIS STORY DEMANDS WAY MORE ATTENTION Trump sued the IRS for $10 billion-claiming they harmed him by leaking his tax returns Trump of course controls the IRS Trump may order the IRS to "settle" this case for $1.7 billion of taxpayer money, placed in a slush fund controlled by-you guessed it-Trump

😬

NEW: Trump is going to give himself $1.7B from the treasury to pay his allies who were prosecuted under the Biden administration- including pardoned insurrectionists. This is a “settlement” deal in his $10B suit against the IRS. abcnews.com/US/trump-poi...
