I'll say it again: this is the most corrupt President and corrupt administration in history. Are Republicans going to keep turning a blind eye while Trump uses the Oval Office to get rich?!

It’s VERY IMPORTANT that corporate media NOT frame this as a judicial settlement. Trump DROPPED the suit this morning. There is no lawsuit, and therefore, no settlement. you can’t settle a suit that doesn’t exist. This is just pure theft.

A point that the great @donmoyn.bsky.social often makes is that the handing out of governing spoils is a signpost on the road to authoritarianism. I think this quote captures this very well, and it's an exclamation point on this madness. 6/6 newrepublic.com/article/2105...

Judge Mary McElroy just forced a DOJ attorney to admit the terrifying truth in open court: the regime wants to use YOUR private voter registration to build a deportation database. Read how she exposed the plot: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/they-cant-...

When Hegseth fires woman from military & orders Easter services for Protestants only, the media ties it to Doug Wilson & Christian Nationalism. But when the Supreme Court guts voting rights, ends women’s rights or gives immunity to the king, its never tied to Leonard Leo’s Catholic Integralism. 🤷‍♂️

Some big numbers among Russia's losses today. THREE air defence systems wasted, way over 300 vehicles destroyed and another 1,170 invading soldiers fired their last shot. The mean daily Russian casualties in May is 1,068

I think it’s part control of information and truth - a common authoritarian tactic. Also, undermining scientists has been a tactic since way back to Karl Rove. And even before that when targeting public health science that put profit at risk (eg, tobacco, oil) open.substack.com/pub/sciencea...

Don't know if you saw this. It's "The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart". He had Been Rhodes on & they had an interesting discussion on Netanjahu. It's long but good. youtu.be/UB6_hSBFEro?...

I’m pro-freedom, pro-law and order, pro-limited government, and pro-the Declaration and the Constitution. And so today I’m a Democrat.

Disgraceful. Absolutely disgraceful. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

SPAIN PM PEDRO SANCHEZ ON LAMINE YAMAL: “I'm still waiting for the right to show solidarity with Lamine Yamal, who has been criticized by Netanyahu's government for waving the Palestinian flag. All our support to him and to the Palestinian people. And all our rejection of human rights violations.”

On this day last year Israel killed my friend Bilal al-Masri and some members of his family at a funeral tent.

Hegseth is asking for a record $1.5 trillion defense budget. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. The military industrial complex is cheering right now.

This is insanity: Trump's DOJ is about to "settle" his lawsuit against the IRS by creating a $1.7 billion slush fund to pay off victims of Biden "weaponization." I talked to Jamie Raskin about this. It's even more corrupt than it first appears. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2105...

“I often freelanced at MTV in the period in which Sean Duffy was there and trust me when I tell you, nobody associated with that network should be in a position of power in our government, ever.”

The Trump administration’s new counterterrorism strategy turns its political enemies into enemies of the state.

Pleased to speak with @theguardian.com about the US boat strikes and this important investigation into the identities of the victims. “I think this was in part a military spectacle to give the illusion of the administration doing something ‘macho’ about drugs.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

How real, competent deal makers do it...

ZERO 👇 LIES DETECTED.......

The rush to silence Black voters ahead of the 2026 election is stone cold racism. It's Jim Crow 2.0.

Recent EU drone incursions prove one terrifying reality: No EU country is ready for the hundreds of daily drones a wider war would bring. We are improving our capabilities but still need to radically step up and secure much more funding to actually protect our skies

Worth noting that most of the people who say Bluesky is dead or useless are journalists, not organizers. Bluesky has been OUTSTANDING for me as an organizer. I've raised THOUSANDS of dollars here, gotten HUNDREDS of people to actual events, gotten LOADS of people to DO POLITICAL THINGS.

Happy National Police Week! Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) today griped that Democrats keep bringing up the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection in Senate Judiciary Committee hearings. "We ought to change the date of Groundhog Day to Jan. 6." www.huffpost.com/entry/gop-se...

Schmitt was sitting there complaining about Dems talking about Jan. 6 too much as other senators were honoring police for National Police Week. Several police officers died by suicide after Jan. 6, when Trump incited a mob of his supporters to brutally beat dozens of Capitol Police officers.

Ugh yeah why can’t Dem senators just get over the time Trump tried to assassinate them?

NEW: Trump is going to give himself $1.7B from the treasury to pay his allies who were prosecuted under the Biden administration- including pardoned insurrectionists. This is a “settlement” deal in his $10B suit against the IRS. abcnews.com/US/trump-poi...

Speaking generally: It’s the corruption, stupid.

I rarely say “major breaking” and rarely put out these video hits, but this is pretty major.

Trump’s cuts to health care are here - and they’re impacting hospitals across the state. We struck a deal to help stabilize health care at HCMC and other critical hospitals, but the threat to Minnesotans health care remains thanks to the “big beautiful bill.” www.startribune.com/205m-for-hcm...

"...May 13, 2025, the Israeli occupation assassinated Palestinian journalist Hassan Eslayeh... inside Nasser Medical Complex... while he was receiving treatment... Before that, Israeli occupation forces had attempted to kill Hassan Eslayeh... attack that wounded him & killed several journalists...."

Eric Trump joining Donald Trump on an official state visit to China is much more corrupt than anything involving Joe and Hunter Biden, yet New York Times coverage indicates the opposite. I show the contrast here, and challenge anyone to explain how it isn’t media bias in Trump’s favor.

Kevin O'Leary, who is Canadian, accused two ordinary Americans -- by name, on Fox News -- of being Chinese communist agents working against "our" country. Their response is fantastic.

Yesterday a few folks pointed out that Trump has changed major details about his reflecting pool project since he announced it in late April. I've created a video with graphics that point out how much he's lied about it. This includes edits of longer rambling statements.

here's today's post: "great, he’s completely fucked the Reflecting Pool" — remember when we used to be proud of our national monuments? thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

🙄🤦 and you know that China is just laughing their ass off at us.

"Israeli settlers reportedly stole this man's sheep. When his 16-year-old son [Yousef Ali Yousef Kaabneh] confronted them, an Israeli soldier shot the boy dead." www.threads.com/@ajplus/post... #BoycottIsrael #FreePalestine #Israel #IsraelNews #News #Palestine #PalestineNews #WorldNews #Zionism

"Update: the 12 year old girl I mentioned in this story who was hunted down by an Israeli drone has died from her injuries."

Israeli settlers blocked children in Masafer Yatta from playing football on their village field threatened with demolition. The settlers sat before them chanting in Hebrew to intimidate them, while the children watched helplessly. How much longer will this continue?

"Israeli settlers attack the Christian community of Taybeh overnight, attempting to take over homes east of Ramallah*

New from 404 Media: spoke to four people who attended a trade show where senior ICE officials spoke about how much Palantir is supercharging their arrests. List of 20 million people on ICE agents phones now; increased chance of successful arrest from 28 to 80% www.404media.co/ice-agents-h...

❗️Russia attacked vehicles belonging to a UN humanitarian mission in Kherson - a direct violation of international law. Vehicles of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs were damaged by a Russian drone attack. There might be injured.

Is it legal for Trump to order a government agency to hand him a huge pile of taxpayer money? Note that the White House is directly discussing this with DOJ!

Mendel and Carlson are lying propagandists for Putin. Nothing they say is true. Their lies are destroyed by @siliconcurtain.bsky.social in this episode. Mendel and Carlson are supporting fascism by amplifying the Russian narrative.
