What — and I cannot stress this enough — the fuck is this

I'm asking Microsoft, Nvidia, Meta, Apple, Amazon, Union Pacific, and Comcast about their donations to Trump’s “Big Gold Ballroom.” These companies all have important antitrust business before the federal government. Are these donations wink & nod payments for political favors?

Officials from both parties have refused to turn over sensitive voter information, insisting they will protect the data entrusted to them — no matter how many lawsuits the Trump administration intends to file. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information. Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

So, you know how people say stuff like, "just repost this & you'll have supported journalism"? But this time... it's literally true! Russ has offered to donate to Bolts for each repost this ⬇️ gets or each follow @boltsmag.org gets—up to a sum way higher than we're at. let's make this go viral!

The most interesting part of this story isn’t that the pipe bomber is MAGA. That was blatantly obvious. What should interest folks is that the FBI and DoJ hid that fact from you, and still haven’t made a statement. This info is coming from sources on the condition of anonymity.

Official WH portrait suggestion

Over the last 6 months, the Justice Department has demanded full, unredacted voter rolls from dozens of states. The goal? To build the federal government’s first-ever national database of registered voters using their private info.

Just putting this out there… www.propublica.org/getinvolved/...

I guess this is the best Supreme Court that money can buy. I hate John Roberts and his conservative Supreme Court so much. Have you ever seen any person of the judiciary hate democracy and Americans so much?? If you are brown or black or a woman you are an idiot if you voted for Trump. #WarnedYou

Look how easy it was for everyone to quit talking about the Epstein files

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream. Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads. Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

We know Trump's hold on MAGA is weakening because there aren't a bunch of goofs out there intentionally bruising the back of their hand.

Has anyone called him Hagueseth yet? Seems like it should be a thing.

President Trump has now pardoned 12 members of Congress convicted of crimes varying from tax evasion, campaign corruption, lying to the FBI, bribery, insider trading, obstruction, etc. If Jeff Epstein were alive today, he’d be a free man in Trump’s America.

He says he's against fraud, yet he issues pardons to fraudsters. He says he's against illegal drugs, yet he issues pardons to drug traffickers. He says he's against treason, yet he issues pardons to those convicted of sedition. This post is about the Epstein files.

Department of War (Crimes). NOW it makes sense!

And as the legend goes, he'll be sleeping for the next 20 years -which is probably the greatest Christmas gift any of us has ever, and will ever receive. #DonaldTrump

Der Spiegel: Commander in Sleep

Starbucks workers are still on strike. Do Not cross the picket line.

All of which is to say that the current administration's claims that flu and COVID shots are killing kids are complete and total bullshit. Fight to keep those shots available in your area, because the flu and COVID *will* kill children, the elderly, and the immunocompromised. We know this.

Of course Trump pardons a billionaire who ran a $1.6 billion Ponzi scheme. It's a grotesque display of solidarity among fraudsters, showing he only has sympathy for crooks who prey on working people. Birds of a feather.

Trump's crypto memecoin. Multi-million dinners with CEOs. Firing independent officials in charge of rooting out corruption. Giant tax cuts to Trump's billionaire friends. Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in our nation's history.

Trump & his billionaires at the top believe financial fraud shouldn’t be criminal, because at some level they all engage in it. In their circles, they see it as proof they’re just smarter than all the non-wealthy out here.

I am NOT looking forward to next month. I got a Dick Punch advent calendar, where every day you open a new little door and a huge boxing glove on a spring punches you in the dick. Why did I even buy that?

Are you a business that's colluding with ICE? Caving to the biased attacks on DEI? Funding this administration for tax cuts? Guess what? #WeAintBuyingIt Nov 27–Dec 1, instead we are putting our money where are values are.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone. Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work. Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

The ketchup hit the wall.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

I hope MTG reads the Epstein list on the floor of Congress

Because of course.

BREAKING: Epstein survivors say they don’t care whether their names are redacted, they want the full Epstein files released as-is, with every perpetrator exposed, per CNN.

The only way to for the public to see complete Epstein files is to leak it. Do it. Now. Anything else is complicit.

I'm no law-speaking guy, but that strikes me as unusual behavior...

This tracks.

"Quiet, piggy!"

It’s theater. My take? He’ll “defer” to Bondi, who will cite “ongoing investigations” to keep it all sealed. Except for strategic leaks about Democrats.

The $2,000 is the friends we made along the way?

"DON'T BUY STARBUCKS," says Starbucks Workers United as it begins a national strike Thursday. The union says it's ready for the "biggest and longest" strike in company history as it demands fair pay and for the company to address union-busting complaints.

If you don't have a library card, you should get a library card. Once you have that library card, you should get the Libby app. Once you get the Libby app, go browse the newsstand. Good chance your library card gives you access to ALL THE MAGAZINES. I'm talking the real good shit. AND BACK ISSUES.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump. The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

I really think it'd be worth the time for anyone with red reps or senators to call and email about this.

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

Hard to read. Imagine living it. This nation is broken. Has always been broken.
