Surprise! Almost like the killing spree at sea is not a serious counter-drug effort at all. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/29/w...

Trump is preparing to give Iran a $300 BILLION "investment fund" as part of whatever deal they cut to end the war. That's on top of the release of ~$24 billion in frozen Iranian assets which will be routed through Qatar so Trump can pretend he didn't provide it. But do go on about Biden & Obama.

Funny how that works, huh?

This is the destruction of federal funding for scientific research & universities as we know it. A total, comprehensive politicization of the process & an end run around Congress.

Donald Trump’s Ego-Driven “Excursion” Has Crashed Into Reality open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

Funny how the all the people ransacking the Capitol on January 6 were liberals, plants, and ANTIFA—until there was money to be made from it.

Anatomy of the most blatant self-dealing corruption in the history of the US Presidency.

Here's how the corruption works: Thursday: RJ Reynolds donates $5M to Trump Saturday: Trump invites RJR execs to Mar a Lago; execs ask to loosen regs on flavored vapes; Trump calls up RFK Jr. and tells him to change it Friday: FDA changes the policy

I did the math: Rick Scott's Medicare fraud--$1.7B in 2000 dollars--would be $3.3B today. That's 36X the $90M in fraud that Trump's is all worked up about in MN. Kash gave away the game: This is a big amount. In MN. It's teeny by FL standards, but for some reason they're not looking there.

CLIENT: These federal charges seem serious. What kind of sentence could I get? LAWYER: Depending on the next presidential election, you're looking at somewhere between life imprisonment and becoming a millionaire.

GOP in a nutshell... #Iran #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

Max: "In just the past couple of weeks, there have been three separate instances of such unfathomable corruption that any other normal presidency wouldn't have survived a single one of them, let alone all three ... historians will be writing books about this period for decades to come."

Every American should be disgusted by this.

“1.776 Billion” is a nice touch — Trolling us with fake patriotism as he steals our money and gives it to people who attacked the Capitol to end democracy for him How much will Rep. Andy Ogles get? @MarshaBlackburn?

Thus far no Dem Senator has raised this.

Trump is trying to replant apartheid.

Andrew Paul Johnson was arraigned in a Florida court in October on multiple charges, including molesting a child as young as 11 years old. Johnson dangled the prospect that one of the children could receive money bc...he was entitled to $10 million as part of reparations for his January 6 arrest.

Trump has been trading state / national security secrets, intel, and foreign policy decisions for personal gain and enrichment since his first term and it’s speeding up. Is it gonna end? Ever?
