Trump wants $230 million compensation from the government because he was investigated. Fine; we will give it to him under the condition that all of the cases are allowed to go to trial and to conclusion, including sentencing. Russia, Russia, Russia, find me 11,000 votes, stolen secret documents!

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

Pete Hegseth announces that remodeling has begun to add a ballroom to the Pentagon.

We are definitely getting under his thin skin.

As your Boy Scout leader would tell you, be prepared.

Rob Citrone must be deeper in the hole than first thought. He’s the hedge fund investor who helped Besant maker his first millions, and invested heavily in Argentine bonds just before this was announced.

New Mexico was a new law into place reversing the damage of the ACA cuts. 70,000 people in a state of 1.5 million will no longer face the loss of credits for their health insurance. The longer I live here, the more I like the way people are treated.

OK, Target, we forgive you. Can we have our groceries back? May we get things back on track before empty shelves greet us all the time. (P.S. they lost cooling for the cases, and had to discard it all)

The more things change …, News from 1939 Germany from the archives of The New York Times www.nytimes.com/1939/02/04/a...

As disgusting as this litany of calls for violence, I am stricken by how much he has deteriorated in his ability to speak and think.

This clip is so horrible in so many ways. I hope Victor is good in the hospital, too.

So Trump has a manipulation scam for each major asset class: - Bonds: through Fed - Equities: through tariffs - Property: through governments and developers - Alternative assets e.g. crypto: through governments e.g. Qatar, Israel Thus Trump maintains a balanced illegal investment portfolio.

New weird trick to “reduce” human rights abuses /sarcasm

Well, this will make it hard for them to claim that Jack Smith was violating the Hatch act, given that the Office of Special Council found repeated violations from: Mark Meadows, Jared Kushner, Kayleigh McEnany, Kellyanne Conway, Stephen Miller, Robert O’Brien, Michael Pompeo, & Chad Wolf.

When even the numbers start lying, you know the truth’s in witness protection.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics will now be renamed to The Ministry of Truth.

Harvard rolls over and considers paying $500 million extortion payment to a mob boss. Couldn’t they find a loyal lawyer?

Are they searching for a pedophile, rapist, criminal, insurrection leader, or a wandering old man with dementia on the golf course? At least they only need to find one guy.

Sad Ozzy had to die before he got to bite the head off of Stephen Miller.

60-70% of people want universal healthcare. Repost this video, which shows how it works, so we all have the facts for the fight. New Democrats: this also shows how to talk about both social AND market principles. You will win big! Any arguments? This wins the debate: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-3C...

Wow. Trump says that Texas families who are concerned about the lack of warning before the deadly floods are “evil”: “Only a very evil person would ask a question like that.” (clip: @atrupar.com)

“We are talking about technologies that are trying to subvert democratic rule, trying to entrench surveillance, and about a government that uses surveillance technology against its citizens,” EFF’s Saira Hussain told @prismreports.org.

A performative show of armor in MacArthur Park in LA melts like a cake in the rain when activists and the Mayor show up and send them packing.

Here is the list of particulars of King George’s offenses again the people who lived here in 1776. Do any look familiar to you now?

249 years ago, the people didn’t like what their government was doing to them, and made a list. The list appears to be active again, with many of the same complaints.

Same as a Millennial in some ways Despite hating neoliberal capitalism, growing up in the era of globalization where cosmopolitanism and the (very imperfect) reduction of national borders was in my view preferable to one dominated by the fascist rejection of the Other

If a supervillain intercepted and stole vaccines, causing millions of deaths, there would be endless coverage of how awful they are. But if a supervillain takes over a country and does the same, that’s just politics. We call the difference between those two “civility.”

It’s all Kayfabe, from the person playing the biggest heel of all time. He gave them permission to fire missiles at a US airbase and US soldiers. He even agreed on the time.

Have the tanks left Washington DC? Asking for a few million friends.

Rubio is wracked with guilt for taking the job. Hegseth is a deer in the headlights as he realizes he has to run the war. Vance is measuring the curtains in the Oval. But Trump? He’s smiling a real smile. Not a smirk. A smile. He never smiles.

But why would a Russian spy want access to the personnel records of White House staff? Anyone? Anyone? Beuller?

Trump's #G7 humiliation summarized. After a disastrous birthday with millions of people protesting him and a military parade with low turn out and mediocre marching, an embarrassed Donald Trump embarked to Canada for the Group of Seven summit.

I'm just gonna go ahead and say it: I don't think King George should sponsor the Army birthday celebration Apparently they are military contractors and I am apparently not the only person who's mentioned the issue here

Thoughts and prayers

Isn’t it ironic that the man who sent the Marines in ‘to protect the operation of the federal government’ is the same man who is destroying the operation of the federal government?

Only 118 arrests by Homeland Security last weekend. At a cost of $134 million, just for the protection racket forces. Gee, nice little democracy you’ve got here. It’d be a shame if something were to happen to it.

Exactly. It was always a Reich Consolidation instead of a budget reconciliation. And that's why the fascists called it "beautiful'. bsky.app/profile/dday...

When you see someone injured in the protests, remind yourself that ICE and the police were the ones who injured them. “To Protect And Serve” is still stenciled on LAPD vehicles.

ABC’s Jonathan Karl interviews Mike Johnson about 2000 US Marines being deployed to Los Angeles, then says “But let’s switch to the big story, Elon Musk”.

As Jackson explains in an unusually long dissent from an unsigned order, the idea that the balance of equities favors the government at all -- let alone enough to justify an emergency stay -- is absolutely indefensible

NEW: Meet the 22-Year-Old Trump’s Team Picked to Lead Terrorism Prevention One year out of college and with no apparent national security expertise, Thomas Fugate is the Department of Homeland Security official tasked with overseeing the government’s main hub for combating violent extremism.

This is why DOGE snuck in during the middle of the night: to build an AI-powered surveillance system that can look into everything and score us based on risk. Risk to whom?

White privilege is a hell of a drug. And the people who voted for this have been addicted to it their entire lives. They heard that "American exceptionalism" propaganda as kids and have been convinced ever since that it referred to them.

I expect that this is what will happen when they try to remove the Doge shit from all of the federal systems have been infected by it. techcrunch.com/2025/05/22/a...
