remember when they screeched that cancelling student loan debt was unfair and unconstitutional

The silver lining to this shit is that grifting $1.7 billion of American taxpayer dollars while people are choosing between gas and groceries and can't afford healthcare is the clearest indication of "let them eat cake" that we've seen since French pesants started the Reign of Terror.

It's the TAKE OUT THE TRASH cycle. We may not get this opportunity again. Put these fucks out of work, do everything in your power to ship their asses.

“Will break rules to defeat Nazis” is a non-extremist position and “will not defeat Nazis if the rules say you can’t” is an extremist position. Everyone please learn the difference between “extreme” and “extremist” because it will be on the final exam.

Dems are polling crazy high based on the flaming catastrophe that is Republican fascist rule, so primarying as many of the bad weak complicit Democrats in favor of good determined angry ones has rarely if ever been more crucial

I really don’t think this settlement maneuver is legal and a lot of the coverage seems to be willing to assume that it is

Trump Requests $1.2 Trillion To Have https://bit.ly/3RjdlH1

The most listened to episode of Cancel Me Daddy in history was our Amber Heard episode with @michaelhobbes.bsky.social. That's because we went viral on Reddit as one of the only pieces of coverage to be sympathetic to Heard.

Trump's DOJ is funneling your tax dollars to a slush fund to pay off Trump's buddies & allies, like rioters who stormed the Capitol & assaulted police on Jan 6th.

An outrageous abuse of power.

Big announcement on March 3. No part of this ever happened.

Trump cuts to weather data may make forecasts less reliable, experts warn [via @theguardian.com]

And now they want to give him a big payout w your money!

Countdown to China invading Taiwan

AOC or Ro Khanna is like asking someone if they want an ice cold coke or a flat, warmed up store brand coke knockoff. with some pee in it.

Israel has kidnapped the sister of the president of Ireland.

That is actually a 33% decrease from Biden’s last year in office.

JFC. As @willbunch.bsky.social implores us, can't we take the time to acknowledge the insanity and and blatant corruption of president who is losing a war badly, and who still found time to trade stocks 3,700 times in 3 months? -GIFT LINK- share.inquirer.com/drRRdU

How would you describe the credibility of White House claims like this?

“…says White House.” ??? Seriously, Reuters?

I love my fellow New Yorker @aoc.bsky.social. Yes, she meets the moment "every day." Too many cowardly self-gelding machines of callous ineptitude either flee from the moment or are narcissists that deceive themselves into believing moments are synonymous with titles. youtube.com/shorts/OIhSb...

This is insanity: Trump's DOJ is about to "settle" his lawsuit against the IRS by creating a $1.7 billion slush fund to pay off victims of Biden "weaponization." I talked to Jamie Raskin about this. It's even more corrupt than it first appears. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2105...

ABC News reports that Trump is set to drop his $10 billion lawsuit against IRS in exchange for DOJ creating a new $1.7 billion fund that will be used to pay "compensation" to Biden "victims." That could potentially include the Jan 6 insurrectionists. 2/ newrepublic.com/article/2105...

Here's the rub. The slush fund will be drawn from a larger Treasury Department fund. The latter compensates actual victims of the government. But the new one will be put under Trump's direct control in a new way and untangled from any oversight, Raskin notes. 3/ newrepublic.com/article/2105...

Raskin says the fund is unconstitutional. Congress didn't structure it. 14th Amendment prohibits obligations in service of insurrection. Raskin says Dem House will shut it down and compel transparency on payments. He's calling on Rs to legislate against it now. 4/ newrepublic.com/article/2105...

This slush fund helps explain the political economy of MAGA. It could serve as coalition management: Payments to insurrectionists persuade his coalition that his corruption is good for them, as they get a cut of the spoils. 5/ (h/t @lioneltrolling.bsky.social) newrepublic.com/article/2105...

A point that the great @donmoyn.bsky.social often makes is that the handing out of governing spoils is a signpost on the road to authoritarianism. I think this quote captures this very well, and it's an exclamation point on this madness. 6/6 newrepublic.com/article/2105...

There's always that one crazy gas station in LA that raises its prices more than all the rest so tourists can take pics but gas at my regular non tourist station was over $7 yesterday

America made a mistake electing the dumbest president in American history who has handed control to an administration of ignorant sociopaths.

More than 3,700 trades. Trump’s more focused on his stock portfolio than lowering costs for you.

she’s in oakland, someone tell interpol
