Trump praising Citigroup for its 'BIG comeback' while ignoring the irony: Citi is now the sole major bank willing to hold his assets after being debanked by JPMorgan and BofA. 🏦🤔 #Debanking #Citi #Trump #$CITI - #$CITI 👀 Flaunting the #Constitution Emoluments Clause yet again!

When will Katie Hobbs announce her lieutenant governor running mate? Hoping it's Adrian Fontes. #Arizona

Big Tobacco donates $5 million to MAGA. They have lunch with Trump at his golf club. Suddenly, flavored vapes get approved by the FDA. And we’re supposed to believe this is the “Make America Healthy Again” they were talking about? 😒

Keeping track of #FIFAWorldCup matches is easy with this calendar too. www.sync2cal.com/sports/socce...

You can just imagine the message to the proletarians when big oil oligarchs are raking in billions in extra profit every quarter....

Household budgets are getting crushed due to the Middle East conflict. 😡Meanwhile Big Oil is projected to pocket a record $234 BILLION in windfall war profits by the end of 2026. Same old playbook: We pay for the chaos, the top 1% collects the cash. 🛑⛽ #WealthGap #BigOil #Inflation #Profiteering

Looks like Ty-d-bol blue to me. #ReflectingPool

Let me also add two things: 1. Having a UFC fight for the 250th is more offensive to me because it's practically *all* we're getting. We've slashed money from museums to shovel it at Trump's pet projects. 2. I'm a 250th expert, you should invite me to come talk about this.

Aside from BlueSky and Threads feeds, who else finds a significant amount of well-written content over on #Substack? Here's a doozy. Just wishing the platform had light reader level subs or pay-per-article micropayments. open.substack.com/pub/patricem...

#Cuba poses a "national security threat" to the US and the likelihood of a peaceful agreement is "not high", US Secretary of State #MarcoRubio has said. #FIFA Peace Prize, not working as advertised! 🤪 www.bbc.com/news/article...

It's official - Trump gave Blanche a self-pardoning auto-pen.

I truly believe that the members of congress who have 7 months left after Trump dumped them can do something very important to turn our country around. I am rooting for you to do the right thing.

it's remarkable that Trump cares about his ballroom orders of magnitude more than he cares about anything else

#PBSNewsHour (read more at Substack "The Crucial Years" by Bill McKibben) The U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran have driven up the cost of energy globally. Evangelists for clean energy say this sudden oil shock is an opportunity to embrace the transition to renewable power, like wind and solar.

How is a permanent exemption for Trump family from IRS audits anything but a pre-emptive #selfpardon for future crypto money laundering and more?

🍊🤡💩 moves to withdraw $10 billion lawsuit against IRS amid reports of new ‘slush fund’ #TACO

A new financial disclosure shows Trump has traded millions of dollars worth of stocks in companies that include Nvidia, Palantir, Meta, Disney and more.

@maddow.bsky.social Seems worthy of some reporting.

@kairyssdal.bsky.social Hoping you might report on this story. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Trump made roughly a quarter-billion to half-billion dollars in stock purchases in a single quarter - with no reported sales. See the receipts: extapps2.oge.gov/201/Presiden...

Take on the health insurance CEOs, take on Big Oil, they call you "radical." Support illegal and insane foreign wars, and hand billions of dollars to billionaires and huge corporations? They call you "Susan Collins."

So the convicted,then pardoned, drug-smuggling former President of Honduras is conspiring with Team Bibi/Trump to help attack Latin American leaders in Mexico and Columbia? Why isn't #HondurasGate trending more broadly?? @msnowreports.bsky.social #ThereAreTapes

I very much think society can walk and chew gum at the same time, but it remains the case that a tsunami of UFO File clickbait will drown out conversations we should be having about the Iran War, the Führerbunker, the end of the Voting Rights Act, PEADs, Hondurasgate...on and on.

The corruption/grift continues... #TrumpCastle #Crypto #Trump

Apparently the looting will continue until there is no more loot. #EpsteinBallroom #OilFutures #CryptoCasino etc etc

How the hell is his new "crypto casino" not fake? Where is the media coverage? Always a new grift. #TrumpCastle trumpcastle.net

Not shocked when oil executives turned the #Hormuz blockade into another huge payday for billionaires. They went to the Oval Office to convince 💩🤡🍊 to do their bidding and this is what they got. #Iran is a much smaller threat than MAGA/SCOTUS/ Time to #86TheOligarchy.

What do the CEO of Palantir, the CEO of Blackstone, and ten other billionaires have in common? First, they don't live in Maine. Second, they're funding a Republican super PAC, spending two million dollars to pollute our airwaves with attack ads.

"No Comment" from James Comey outside courthouse. 😜

The Hill: Senate Republicans voted Tuesday to defeat a resolution to stop Trump from launching military operations against Cuba without authorization from Congress. Without their balls, are Republican men allowed to use the men's bathroom? #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

Fossil fuel company owners see that they can't compete with clean energy. They gave POTUS $1B to protect their profits. He's doing it, devoting more public $$ to forcing Americans to choke down their pollution and high prices. bsky.app/profile/mcbr...

BP reported profits of $3.2bn for the first quarter, its highest first-quarter result since 2023 and more than double the same period last year. The war in Iran has caused energy prices to spike, with other oil majors benefiting from the energy-supply crunch. In unrelated #GreenEnergy news...

This is just weird. bsky.app/profile/chri...

Is it just me or does it seem like details are very light on the event tonight. If only there were some correspondents or journalists nearby to capture the full story. #WHCD
