House Republicans aren’t keen on Trump $1.7 billion taxpayer-funded pot of $$ for convicted crooks Rep Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA): “We’re gonna kill it” Rep David Schweikert (R-AZ): “I have big concerns about it” Rep Don Bacon (R-NE): How did President negotiate with himself?

Todd Blanche is SUCH a dumbass, he falsely told @vanhollen.senate.gov that he has NEVER read the WaPo, when Trump's selective and vindictive prosecution memo (under his signature!!) relied heavily on a WaPo article.

Black American should not be given reparations for hundreds of years of slavery. Here’s why the January 6 rioters should be given reparations for a couple months in jail for committing treason

When asked, they should SPECIFICALLY be asked abt funding terrorists (some Proud Boy and Oath Keepers are adjudged terrorists), cop assailants, and child sex predators. "Do you support Trump's plan to reward terrorists, cop assailants, and Jan6ers who went on to predate children with taxpayer $$?"

Forgive me for sounding like a broken record, but we are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

Shapiro should volunteer to go out with a roofing crew in FL this July to help them out for a few days to get an introduction to reality. Or work the overnight shift in a hospital emergency room. Or teach 8th graders.

Rep Grijalva: "The problem I see is that this administration makes blanket statements about what's not happening, and we have a portion of our nation that believe them blindly. We have to realize 91% of the people in detention in these concentration camps are in private prisons. So follow the money"

"The Callais decision has been catastrophic in substance and timing. The Roberts Court not only dismantled the country’s most important civil rights law, but put its thumb on the scale of the 2026 elections, turbocharging Trump’s gerrymandering arms race" www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

It has never been more important that we pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Honor his legacy. Protect the vote.

Khanna: "Someone obviously got to Lutnick from the administration. In fact, he said he talked to people in the administration and that's why he's changed his tune. The question is why he's covering up."

“It’s the greatest grift we’ve ever seen in our lifetime.” Gov. Gavin Newsom calls out corruption under the Trump administration on this week’s Real Time: @gavinnewsom.bsky.social @realbillmaher.bsky.social

Still can't get over how SCOTUS says you shouldn't change voting laws in middle of election and then demolishes Voting Rights Act in middle of election to turbocharge Trump's gerrymandering war

Why is the President of the United States shilling so hard for cryptocurrency? Because the entire industry is a Ponzi scheme — and he's the conman-in-chief.

US troops are not in Germany to protect Germany. They’re there because the US needs bases to conduct operations beyond the North American continent. If Trump withdraws them, he will harm the United States, not Germany. It’s absurd how many Americans fail to grasp this.

Why has our country fallen so far? Because a major political party built its brand on constant outrageous lying.

The stock market isn't a barometer of economic health. It's a scoreboard for how well corporations capture subsidies, Fed backstops, and borrowed money, then recycle it into share prices. Dow up? Machine's working. Not you. #UNFTR for @meidastouch.com. Watch the full video: youtu.be/mwP1SvX-vc0

What the American "drug war" looks like on the ground: Ecuadorian fishermen were attacked in a double drone strike, arrested at gupoint, taken to El Salvador and then finally released. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

I don’t think the Fed Chairman should be a liar with investments set up by Epstein who can’t clearly state who won the 2020 Presidential Election.

I was treated to a spectacular bit of gaslighting by Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyer, David Markus, over this post. I have a zero-tolerance policy for both gaslighters and mansplainers—habits that frequently overlap—so I’m sharing some thoughts. Please spread the word. Thanks. youtube.com/shorts/uMb82...

If you are a good journalist and you value people who show you respect and integrity, you should grant your audience the same: You call a lie a lie You call a criminal a criminal You call treason treason And You call fascists fascists. THERE ARE NO 'BOTH SIDES' ABOUT THIS.

Dear Media: Blindly quoting the President without fact-checking or context is just misinformation with a press pass. We don’t need stenographers; we need journalists. Do your job.

So Iran says their toll booth is open. Trump says his blockade is still in place. And ... China says that blockade is unlawful. 🤔

👏🏻 Watch

This is a Ukrainian boy, Bohdan. He will forever be eight years old. Yesterday, a Russian drone killed Bohdan as he was playing on a playground in Cherkasy. Bohdan sang in the church choir. Deepest condolences... Russian terrorism must be stopped.

They don’t know how war works and they don’t know how negotiations work—but they do know how grift works. Our oligarchs will make money, Putin will make money, and that’s the only "victory" they care about. As a war this is obviously a defeat for the US—had the US won it would be dictating terms.

Reagan’s OMB Director:

Indeed. My guess is that this is what Melania is hoping to get ahead of….?

Undersecretary Michael’s profits in xAI — reportedly up to $24 million — get some scrutiny. @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

One of the most brazenly corrupt events in history will take place tomorrow when Jared Kushner represents the U.S. in critical negotiations with Iran to end the war while he accepts millions in fees (and billions in investments) from the Saudi gov’t which has been lobbying Trump to continue the war

Approaching the one-year anniversary this weekend: @atrupar.com

And to think, all this because Trump wanted to stay out of jail.

The war, horrible as it is in itself, signals the basic problem: abuse of power enabled by wealth inequality and media monopolies. Trump will fall and these issues can be addressed. But only if we see how deep is the rot and how pressing is the need. (13/14)

But the strategic losses are only the beginning. There are also moral, economic, political losses. The US cannot keep losing everything indefinitely. (12/14)

CENTCOM’s official X account has now gone silent for over 24 hours in the midst of what could be the worst day for the U.S. in the war yet

From historic Saratoga Springs, the best!

🇫🇷 Sen. Claude Malhuret: "I compared the Trump presidency to Nero's court. I was wrong. It's a court of miracles. An anti-vax ex heroin addict as Health Sec; a climate skeptic as Econ Sec; an alcoholic TV host as Def Sec; an ex Qatari agent as Attorney Gen; a Putin groupie as Homeland Security Sec."

Good oversight and good video. May it go viral.

FT Exclusive: Traders made bets worth half a billion dollars in the oil market about 15 minutes before Donald Trump’s post touting 'productive' talks with Iran sent the price of crude tumbling ft.trib.al/SVLeLoM

Exactly 5 minutes BEFORE Trump announced a 5-day delay in bombing Iranian power plants, someone purchased $1.5 billion worth of S&P futures in a single trade. Someone also sold $192 million in oil futures. Trump and/or his cronies are engaging in market manipulation and insider trading.

The firm that planned Trump’s January 6th rally, now staffed by his former officials, has raked in $22 million in federal contracts. The majority came through special carveouts that blocked other firms from bidding. Where’s the uproar about waste, fraud, and abuse now?

Francis Fukuyama on Trump: "The world has become a very dangerous place because the most powerful country is under the control of a ten-year-old boy. That boy discovered a flamethrower in his parents’ backyard and is now enjoying the ability to burn things up with it."

Don’t stop talking about the Epstein files. Don’t stop talking about the Epstein files. Don’t stop talking about the Epstein files. Don’t stop talking about the Epstein files. Don’t stop talking about the Epstein files. Don’t stop talking about the Epstein files. Don’t stop.

@stephruhle.bsky.social has a big question and a special invitation after talking to @byjacobward.bsky.social about who's getting a key briefing on AI in war.

Astonishing claim for Trump to make.
