Bigger than Teapot Dome in terms of scandals, but in the age of Trump, it doesn't even raise an eyebrow: Karen Budd-Falen, the No. 3 at the Interior Department, didn’t disclose a $3.5m water-rights contract between her husband and the developers of a Nevada mine approved by Interior.

WSJ - The Incident That Prompted Trump to Ban Epstein From Mar-a-Lago’s Spa: An 18-year-old spa worker on a house call to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003, complained to her Mar-a-Lago bosses that Epstein pressured her for sex. #EpsteinCoverUp www.wsj.com/us-news/trum...

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune are complicit in the illegal attack on Venezuela by allowing Trump to make Congress irrelevant.

✅⚖️ 💨 U.S. District Court in Massachusetts rules that Trump's order issued on Inauguration Day blocking new offshore wind projects is arbitrary and capricious and contrary to law, and vacates it. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Bragging that you just passed your 3rd dementia test is a great way of telling us they've made you take 3 dementia tests

With no algorithm here, I'm especially grateful to all who reposted this & also to those of you who pre-ordered (info is in the thread)! Since I am not Stephen King, unlikely bookstores will stock my academic book in physical form. Can you please ask your public or academic library to order? Thx.

Trumps have engaged in a moneymaking schemes like none in modern U.S. history; enriching the family, as well as important officials & business partners www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

THIS ISN’T GETTING ENOUGH ATTENTION. More than 100 immigration judges have been fired nationwide since Trump took office. 21 in San Francisco alone, many without explanation. Why? Because these judges provided due process under US law. The Trump admin doesn’t want hearings or fairness. 1/2

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith testifies how he had Trump in his cross-hairs and could prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he was responsible for the insurrection on January 6, 2021. Man things would have been so different if Garland didn’t slow walk this case. Ugh‼️‼️

This AFTER remains of a 30 ft boat washed ashore, with burned bodies inside & packages (small) of what residue tests establish was nothing more than Marijuana; which is legal for recreational use in several states. It's just murder. apnews.com/article/boat...

Clarification hardly needed.

#GVerse Drop a 💙 if you stand with these women I want to be following you I'm following back from this post

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this. He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

My main takeaway from the Jack Smith testimony: we should push our presidential candidate to make him Attorney General in 2029.

🚨 🚨 Major scandal in Ohio! Hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars sent to a for-profit organization that claimed to be helping Ohio kids, but later, turns out they couldn’t account for a bunch of the kids they claimed and were paid for. “Ghost” students, they were called. 1/

Isn’t it odd that when a member of an immigrant ethnic group commits a crime, right-wing white guys want to deport the entire group, but when a right-wing white guy commits a crime, the other right-wing white guys don’t volunteer to deport themselves.

Happy New Year, California! 🎉 Here’s to progress, opportunity, and new beginnings in 2026.

Detroit’s first woman Mayor, Mary Sheffield has now officially been sworn in. A historic moment. 💙

Releasing a 255-page transcript on New Year’s Eve isn’t transparency, it’s an attempt to bury accountability while people are distracted. Read it. Share it. Text it to your family, friends, and neighbors. Truth doesn’t disappear just because powerful people want it buried.

Donald Trump is a felon. Donald Trump is a rapist. Donald Trump is a grifter. Donald Trump is directly responsible for the violence, deaths, & terror that occurred on Jan. 6, 2021. Impeach. Remove. Convict.

In case you were wondering, Jack Smith's testimony was the *opposite* of "total exoneration."

Jack Smith: Trump’s FRAUD was not protected First Amendment speech. Trump knowingly lied about the 2020 election in an attempt to overturn its result.

HERE Jack Smith sets out Trump’s direct culpability and complicity in the federal election interference case, including January 6th:

If Republicans, Democrats, the Justice System, and Judges can't figure out what Trump & his Regime are doing to America, remaining in office and do NOTHING to REMOVE Trump... Stop Bitching, he's cutting off Water, Food Chain, and destroying our economy to enrich the wealthy. He'll leave only then.

I mean, let's talk about the obvious.

JUST IN: AG Pam Bondi deletes a post touting a chart as proof of the Trump administration's success in reducing drug overdoses—after being informed the data actually reflected the *Biden* administration’s record.

YES: Epstein survivors impatient with Congress for not enforcing the Epstein Transparency Act say they will start naming names in 2026. 💪👏

probably not a great sign that Trump's assistant AG for civil rights uses a slur for people with disabilities

Karma’s a bitch

BREAKING NEWS: Actual facts appear for the first time on "Truth" Social.

A rare, but much needed TL cleanse of levity that speaks to and for many of us belonging to the WDNC club. Enjoy:

Stephen Miller wants an alternate historical novel where Americans were first to master the automobile, to fly, land on the moon; keep going, never open our borders to the third world for 60 yrs. 🧪Does he know that all his listed achievements on American soil were by the scions of immigrants?

A growing body of research indicates that Texas's restrictive abortion bans have negatively impacted the health and lives of Texas women and babies in multiple ways. Across the board, pregnancy outcomes and complications have worsened.

When Dems take back the House, Bill Barr should be forced to testify about this (he was AG then).

This is what #Missouri men have in store for Missouri women: HB 2548 establishes a provision for covenant marriages. Another layer of submission. via @piperformissouri.bsky.social documents.house.mo.gov/billtracking...

You probably heard the US admin is threatening to break up the National Center for Atmospheric Research: but did you know they already froze funding for the 9 regional Climate Science Adaptation Centers? From tracking invasives to helping tribes with drought, here's why the CASCs matter ⬇️

ICE attacking an expectant mother. Strange how the "pro-life" crowd all cheer for this. MAGA. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Politicians are now saying the way to fix democracy is to have less of it. Give all the power to one elected person who can do whatever they want until we try to remove them. Cool. That's not worrying at all.

JD Vance just admitted the quiet part out loud. He confirmed on camera that Jared Kushner—who holds no official government role—is "the investor" behind their Middle East peace plans. They aren't conducting diplomacy. They are closing a family business deal.

I’ve seen thousands of posts about welfare fraud from right-wingers on social media, which should be prosecuted if people committed crimes, but zero posts about the dozens of wealthy rich fraudsters who stole billions from thousands of people who have been pardoned by Trump.
