Ben Meiselas unloads on the Trump administration: “They put the worst possible people in every position. Linda McMahon opposes public education, and EPA officials want to dismantle the United States Environmental Protection Agency. They appoint people who want to destroy the agencies they lead.”

SIGN OF THE DAY…

The president of the United States is a fucking gangster.

The money trail is right there to follow.

In case there are any doubts what this was about

Headline may as well read: “King Trump and his princely sons declare themselves above the law, scrutiny, and justice — grant themselves divine right to pilfer public coffers for life.”

😕

This corruption will not stand, man! — Me, channeling "The Dude"

This is only the beginning. He has no plans to leave office or allow free elections. Nor are his plans hidden—they're all unfolding in plain sight. The Insurrection never ended and the Christofascists won't stop until our democracy is gone. Choose who you'll be in this moment.

"Donald Trump insists that astronomical numbers at gas pumps are a small price for you to pay for an unnecessary war he illegally started, and has lost, to distract you from his sexual predation of children and looting of the US Treasury."

Would a corrupt president do this?

He’ll be saying this six months from now

Nobody but the absolute dregs of MAGA believes this.

And it seems the people of Greenland are making it clear to him.

Jeff Landry, American Idiot in Greenland.

While working class Americans are struggling, Trump is making millions of dollars enriching himself with illegal insider trading.

Kyle Clark: I should say there are more Republican county clerks in Colorado than there are Democrats, but they have spoken with one voice to say: Don’t do this.This will make our jobs harder and potentially less safe if you let Tina Peters out.

🚨 FINALLY: The Senate Votes to Take Up Measure to Force Trump to End Iran War With four Republican backers, Democrats won a vote to advance a resolution that would force the president to end hostilities or win authorization from Congress. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/u...

May karma come soon for them both. Because it's not like we can count on the rule of law anymore.

The US ... is hereby FOREVER BARRED and PRECLUDED from prosecuting or pursuing, any and all claims, counterclaims, causes of action [etc]... whether presently known or unknown, that... have been or could have been asserted [by the US against Trump, his family, and his companies] out of.. Lawfare 1/

Tennessee Brando on Trump voters waking up: "I'm glad they're speaking out, but I can't give them a full pass. If you got duped the first go around in 2016, that's one thing ... but if you lived through Jan 6th and you still hung with him ... then, I mean, you're the reason we're here."

A Special Forces officer bet on his own classified mission and won a $409,000 pay out. Someone with inside information made up to $80 million on oil futures after Trump's Iran announcement moved markets.

CHAMPIONS!! #Arsenal #COYG

The number of people who have died or will die as a result of Musk’s recklessness in slashing funding for USAID is already staggering. If Ebola gets loose, too, bookmark this moment.

Casino Donnie's Insider Trading Racket Yes, the stock trading is just as gross and corrupt as you'd imagine. www.againstallenemies.net/p/casino-don...

Meta just paid its lowest ever effective tax rate, avoiding $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes thanks to tax breaks and loopholes. But starting this week, Meta will begin laying off 10% of its workforce. More than 8,000 people will lose jobs as it ramps up AI investment. Trickle down hoax.

JFC 😲 Trump suggested to Xi that the US, China and Russia “co-operate against the International Criminal Court,” the only intergovernmental organization with the authority to prosecute individuals for genocide and crimes against humanity. At Bibi's request? www.rawstory.com/trump-xi-267...

And then there's this: The settlement gets sweeter for Team Trump In a newly-posted, one-page document, the Justice Dept details that it is now prohibited from pursuing tax claims against Trump or his family in the future Signed by Todd Blanche

Permission for a life of corruption without consequences.

“Livid”, huh? That’s not news. What are Senate Republicans gonna DO bcuz they’re so “livid?” Not a thing. Not one damn thing. So I don’t give a damn about how “livid” they are. Fuck them. They did this to themselves.

Iran is threatening counterattacks, Trump is talking about snipers and drones on top of his ballroom, Todd Blanche is melting down in a hearing, big news out of Texas, and more. Ben has your midday update:

The Justice Dept. says it released millions of Epstein files. But NPR reports FBI logs reference interviews tied to allegations against President Donald Trump that were not visible in the public archive. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/fbi-interv...

Thanks for letting us know. So who is making those trades on his behalf?

In Their Own Words: After Trump Said Taxpayers Wouldn’t Pay “One Dime” For His Ballroom, Republicans Move To Stick Them With A $1 Billion Bill The Senate Democratic Caucus share.google/7uhoxWaOOvXl...

In 1952, Richard Nixon's career was nearly derailed by revelations that he had access to a slush fund of $18,000 -- less than a quarter million today." People used to give a shit about that kind of thing, you see.

Jeff Landry, a MAGA ally of Jeffrey Epstein's best friend, was filmed approaching local children in Greenland and asking, “—If you come to the—Mansion—you can have all the chocolate chip cookies you can eat.” and “Do you want a picture?” and the children said, "NO". 📹 @OJoelsen

Trump is stealing $1.7 billion in taxpayer money to reward Jan 6 domestic terrorists for helping him attempt to overthrow American democracy. Since there is 1,600 of them, this means this traitorous Confederate piece of shit and his fascist buddies are getting $1 million each. 👇

Do not be fooled into thinking Trump is all-powerful. The truth is he's never been weaker — and America is on track to deliver him a historic midterm rebuke.

Bill Cassidy deserved to lose, John Fetterman deserves outright scorn, and Todd Blanche deserves to be prosecuted. Today’s show.👇 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

The Epstein cover-up continues. This time? Trump is targeting members of his own party who have supported survivors and the release of the files. Why? They don’t want whatever they’re hiding to come out—and they’re going after those who get in the way. We won’t stop until justice is served!

How obvious. Trump is trying to primary any republican who asked for a release of the Epstein files. We know Trump raped children, that he’s a pedophile, that he was Epstein’s best friend. The files will only prove what all of us already know. FDT.

This article has a blatant lie in the second paragraph. There is zero chance that Trump is either 6'3" or 224 pounds. It's hard to take any of the rest of it seriously after that. newrepublic.com/post/210581/...

Nice try, Eric.

They were elected to help ordinary Americans take better care of their own families. This is ass-backward and disgraceful.

Colorado’s Jared Polis had plenty of time to come up with a coherent defense for his Tina Peters decision. The fact that he pitched transparent nonsense suggests that he really did succumb to Trump’s extortion efforts, but he’s reluctant to say so. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Threats? Blackmail? Or just tone-deaf stupidity? If you're in Colorado please take a minute to make your opinion heard.

In 16 months, Trump has swung from a +12 net approval rating to -23. He promised to release the Epstein files, then buried them. He promised no dumb wars and started a new one. At what point does it cease to be incompetence and start to be something else?
