“.. at least 37 times. That’s the number of times he’s said directly — in social media posts, public appearances and phone calls with the media — that a deal was nigh or claimed Iran was desperate ..” @cnn.com www.cnn.com/2026/06/09/p...

They were used to getting a lot of engagement on Twitter. Then they come here and get a fraction of that and it feels bad. So they go back to Twitter because attention means more than dignity or morality. A couple of these cases broke my heart because of how much respect I used to have for them.

OPINION: Protests have broken out in Albania as Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner are planning to turn an Albania island into a resort. #Albania #IvankaTrump #JaredKushner

At this point he's flaunting his corruption with the obvious market manipulation. 👇

If Kash was in Milan for work then he was drinking on the job in contradiction to his testimony to Congress.

This is the latest Trump corruption to push back on. He's gotten the attorney general to exempt him from the tax laws that govern everyone else—including other presidents. Bill and I released 30+ years of tax returns and were audited a few times! www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Congress hell! Where's the fucking handcuffs!? 🤷🏼

Trying to understand how it’s legal for a POTUS to tell voters he’ll ensure their state receives funding if they vote like he tells them to while promising they won’t receive the said funding if they disobey his orders on who to vote for Thought we fought a revolution over this?

In what universe is this not grounds for immediate expulsion

Say what you will about Caligula, but he appointed an *entire* horse to a government position, not just the rear end.

Fuck me, this is Bill Pulte. The guy who was using mortgage data to launch DOJ investigations against Lisa Cook, Letitia James and Adam Schiff. He is being put in charge of national intelligence because of his track record of being willing to manufacture false allegations to target Trump's enemies.

Imagine being so unable to love your child that you set fire to the whole damn world instead.

california is gonna have so many mail in ballots that don’t get counted because people don’t know the new USPS rules that are impacting mail in voting. tl;dr don’t put your ballot in the mail today, find a ballot drop box. www.kqed.org/news/1208537...

It remains baffling to me that we have a clear constitutional requirement that the president can't enrich himself on the job, something we had no problem enforcing strictly for hundreds of years, and then this sweaty conman came by and the nation just sorta shrugged it off.

trying to remember the last time I saw someone fuck up this bad 4 weeks before a festival

The lineup for the National Mall event continues to shrink as artists back out

No, he's taking our money.

He is not leaving. He is buying a militia.

One reason I hate death penalty cases is that capital punishment is incredibly stupid and irrational. It's cruel, expensive, and serves no deterrent effect. It's rarely imposed, except against a tiny minority of unlucky defendants—and in those cases, racism almost always plays a role. Just end it.

Effective tax rate paid by Jeff Bezos from 2014 to 2018: 0.98% Effective 2025 federal tax rate paid by Amazon: 1.4% Typical tax rate paid by the average American: 14.5% Just thought I should point that out.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

President Trump dropped his IRS lawsuit after they agreed to create a $1.776 billion fund … which will be distributed by a panel of people Trump manages.

This is an unprecedented level of corruption. Trump is forcing the government to drop ALL tax audits of him, his family, and his businesses—giving him FULL IMMUNITY from prosecution. What is Trump hiding from the American people? Congress must step up and stop this corruption.

By the time the 2028 campaign season rolls around promising to jail Trump and his boys will be a minimum requirement.

On July 1, 2024 the US created a King, on May 19, 2026, the US created a DON. Congratulations. I’m not sure what exactly we are celebrating on July 4th.

It hardly seemed possible for Trump’s slush fund deal to look even more corrupt. Then, the day after the agreement was announced, his former defense lawyer/acting AG quietly shielded Trump (and his family, and his scandalous family business) from IRS scrutiny, too. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

FLASH: DOJ expands settlement in Trump-IRS leak suit to cover audits of all tax returns filed by Trump, family members, companies and trusts. Waiver of IRS' claims contained in addendum signed by AAG Blanche that was not in agreement released Monday www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

BLANCHE SHIELDS TRUMP: In a newly posted order signed by Acting AG Todd Blanche, the Department of Justice states that the federal government is now permanently barred from pursuing a wide range of tax-related claims and reviews against Donald Trump, his family members, and affiliated companies. 1/

It's a grift, folks. We're living in a kleptocracy. They're going to drink all of our milkshakes. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/u...

We use vague words like corruption, graft or grifting, but the simple fact is that we are watching crimes—Fraud, Theft, Bribery, Extortion—being committed in broad daylight, and these people can't be ushered into prison cells fast enough (after fair and impartial proceedings that honor due process).

This is basically proof that Trump has committed tax fraud and is a Get Out Of Jail Free card for when he does it again.

“Instead of student loan forgiveness we’re doing a coup forgiveness program”

Trump didn’t just pardon his followers who stormed the U.S. Capitol. He’s now set them up for payments through a slush fund he created to reward his allies—out of your tax dollars. You could not make this up.

Today Trump "negotiated" with his private criminal defense lawyer—a man he made AG for this corrupt purpose—the theft of $1.8B in taxpayer money so that it could be given to far-right terrorists in open rebellion against America. It's the most corrupt act by a POTUS in history.

If Trump can steal $1.8 billion in cash with no accountability then he can steal $5 billion or $10 billion or $100 billion from US.

Donald Trump just stole $1.7B from us — and he's creating a slush fund to reward his political allies. I've never seen anything like this in my 50 years in politics. It makes Nixon look like a boy scout. www.cnbc.com/2026/05/18/t...

That whole "Goya beans" thing is quaint by comparison.

3. Trump purchased between purchased between $1 million and $5 million worth of Dell Technologies stock on February 10. During an economic speech in Georgia nine days later, Trump told the audience to “go out and buy a Dell computer,” saying the company made “phenomenal products.”

1. On March 11, Trump toured a Thermo Fisher Scientific facility in Ohio and repeatedly praised the company. On *the same day* Trump bought between $15,000 and $50,000 of Thermo Fisher stock. The purchase was "UNSOLICITED," meaning it was requested by the customer, not recommended by an advisor.

taking tax dollars to pay insurrectionists. which (by the way) the 14th amendment is supposed to prohibit: "[N]either the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States...."

Stealing tax payer money to empower traitors. This is remarkably disturbing.

That fund was crafted as part of a legal settlement that required court approval and directly responded to the legal claims for damages in the lawsuit itself. Trump's slush fund has none of this.

the president of the united states sued his own government for ten billion dollars and “settled” it by directing that government to use taxpayer money for a nearly two billion dollar slush fund to distribute to his political allies at will typing it out barely feels real

When a federal agency tasked with protecting all Americans decides to mandate a specific religious worldview, it ceases to protect democracy and begins to threaten it.

This feels familiar

Really? I mean…really? Really? Really?
