It's always the same old story from the same privileged people, everywhere you go (Germany; U.S.). Bezos: „“We already have the most progressive tax system in the world,” he added, arguing that overspending, not revenue, is the source of the country’s fiscal problems.“ www.cnbc.com/2026/05/20/j...

An extraordinary rebuke of Todd Blanche and his Justice Department. Federal judge dismisses the indictment of Abrego Garcia (an exceedingly rare outcome in a criminal case). Finding of vindictive prosecution and "an abuse of prosecuting power." The opinion name checks Blanche nearly 30 times.

And... we're back to threats. The cycle of: 1) Threats 2) Lies of an imminent peace deal 3) Positive media coverage for that 4) Evidence of no deal, and nowhere close to Iran making concessions 5) Pretending not to care about a deal he transparently wants 6) Threats Took about three days this time

This is Adam Hoffman, a 49-year-old Waco, TX attorney. He faced life without parole for repeatedly raping a young boy. Texas AG Ken Paxton offered him 1 day in jail & no sex offender status. A judge increased his sentence to 60 days. Not an immigrant. Not a trans person. Not a Black or brown person

One report said normalization could take anywhere from six months to two years because of supply chain disruption, shipping risk, and infrastructure damage. Even if the Iran war ended today, US fuel prices aren’t likely to normalize this year.

No notes…

Does Trump mean this Ken Paxton? • Indicted for securities fraud • Impeached by Texas Republicans • Accused of bribery • Investigated by the FBI • Sued by his own whistleblowers • Accused of abusing office • Tried to overturn the 2020 election Texas Republicans impeached him 121-23.

You heard Jasmine Crockett endorsed Becerra for governor. I asked what advice she’d give a future Gov Becerra (inheriting Prop 50) as gerrymandering spreads across the South and shows no signs of stopping after 2026. Her answer was bigger than just what a governor can do. We all can help.

When a private equity takes over a long standing, solid company they: Fire the workers Sell off the real estate and data Use it as leverage for other deals Create massive debt extracted for themselves Walk away as it collapses Feel at all similar to what Trump & the GOP are doing to the USA?

so… does this mean the peace deal fell through or what

i saw this really cute baby duck and then i looked two feet to his left and saw an entire family of geese and you know what? the story of the ugly duckling suddenly makes a lot more sense

It's full on rewriting of history. Soon, they will push for changes to textbooks like right-wingers did circa 2010, seeking to replace the civil rights movement with Phyllis Schlafly and Newt Gingrich.

So I created an alternate ending version. Enjoy ;) #DonaldTrump

Keep this going

Chaos, cruelty and corruption = the current administration in America.

Cancelling the War Powers vote when they knew they would lose it is EXACTLY what they will do with the 2028 election and maybe even the midterms. When it's clear they will lose, they will pull some anti-American dumbfuckery and cancel the election.

Marge Greene says she is concerned that Trump is going to cancel the 2028 election to remain in power and will use an ongoing war as his justification.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I am concerned that Tr*mp is going to cancel the 2028 election to remain in power and will use an ongoing war as his justification."

US peace deal with Iran includes according to Iranian Media: -Reopening Hormuz but under Iranian control. -Releasing billions in frozen Iranian funds -Ending the US navy blockade and withdrawing US forces from the region. WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T HE JUST LEAVE THE OBAMA DEAL INTACT??

HOW IT ENDED US peace deal with Iran -Reopening Hormuz but under Iranian control. -Releasing billions in frozen Iranian funds -Ending the US navy blockade and withdrawing US forces from the region. AND HOW IT STARTED - No deal except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER

The Art of the Deal TRUMP: Give up your uranium. IRAN: No. TRUMP: OK. Open the Strait of Hormuz. IRAN: No. TRUMP: OK. What if we end our blockade, and you can charge for passage through the Strait? IRAN: Only if you give us BILLIONS of dollars and pull out all your forces. TRUMP: OK. Deal.

Cuba is already preparing a list of everything it wants in Trump's upcoming "Art of the Deal" total surrender.

This puritanical pixie is working my last nerve with his shameless lies to suck-up to Donald Trump. Barack Obama not only got Iran to the negotiating table—he got a deal. And a much more favorable deal for the United States than the total capitulation Donald Trump just embarrassed himself with.

No public criteria or explanation. Just a list and a directive to start filing cases. Under federal law, the government can strip citizenship if it was obtained through fraud or misrepresentation.

This is horrifying. Read the whole thread.

In today’s shocking news, Trump’s late-night social media claims that he was close to a deal with Iran - repeated faithfully (unjustifiably) by the NYT and WSJ turn out…. Not to be true???!!!!! How can it be??

Thanks, but no thanks.

The war powers vote was cancelled. The majority party in the House of Representatives is allowed to do that (the U.S. Constitution allows broad latitude in House rule-making). Big reason why having a majority in the House is so important.

Jacobs: The War Powers Resolution of 1973 is very clear. After 60 days, the president is required to withdraw troops from hostilities unless Congress acts. Congress has not acted, and yet it is day 73 and my constituents are still in the region.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

One of my favourite sayings. #BookSky Just in case you need to hear that today ❤️

FYI Citizen's United v Federal Election Commission is a 2010 Supreme Court ruling that "reversed century-old campaign finance restrictions and enabled corporations and other outside groups to spend unlimited money on elections." (Brennan Center) One of the most destructive SC rulings ever.

The @BrennanCenter notes that $1.9 billion "necessarily—and perhaps substantially—underestimates the true scale of dark money spending in 2024" because some categories of undisclosed spending cannot be reliably tracked.

Hawaii just found a way around Citizens United. Other states are following. Hawaii just made history, becoming the first state in the nation to effectively ban dark money in elections. MS NOW: apple.news/ADr8Q8vMgTSe... 🔥THIS IS BIG AMERICA, GETTING CITIZENS UNITED REINED IN IS HUGE, PAY ATTENTION

Yeah, but what do the scientists know? Let’s listen instead to the folks with the conflict of interest and the dark-money dollars!

Under Trump, Americans see economy worsening, by nearly 4:1.

President Lincoln Completes Mostly Successful Trip to Theatre

Is there any point in the foreseeable future when our compliant, unskilled, stenographic news media recognizes that it has now unquestioningly repeated, for months, Trump's lie about his imbecilic war with Iran ending soon? He's been implying 'days' for literally three months🤦🏼‍♂️

You may remember Republicans absolutely losing their mind when Obama released $1.7 billion in frozen Iranian assets.

Friends, I’ve been around politics for over 50 years. I’ve never seen anything as brazenly crooked and corrupt as what Trump and his cronies did this week.

Just a friendly reminder to FDT!

OH HOLY SHIT I thought 47 was stiffing Don Jr's wedding because he's a terrible father. But hold on a minute!

All these men are gross And that lady was a call girl

Rolling Stone had it right in 2024 and two years later, it’s even more true.

Trump: “Five million people have been ‘lifted’ off food stamps.” By ‘lifted’ fuckface means kicked off and more tax breaks given to his oligarchs.
