”[Trump] is running a crypto scam where he can receive millions of dollars anonymously. Meanwhile the DOJ has shut down the crypto investigations unit. Truly no corruption scheme like this in our history — at least out of the White House.” @timmiller.bsky.social @thebulwark.bsky.social

Trump = sabotage, plunder, betrayal.

Estimates by Lazard

The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose 29%. (Published May)

Couldn’t Trump just use the $17 trillion he says he got from all these other countries to fund the government? That should cover us for a while. Where is that, by the way?

Our elected Republican leaders are actively working against us. They want to take healthcare away from millions to fund tax cuts for billionaires. Now they’re holding the government hostage to do it. #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

From Rubia Garcia on FB (edited) In short, the REAL reason DJT is suddenly sending troops into Portland, Oregon—in case it felt random. Literally--follow the money. Let me explain… Yesterday, (Sept. 27th), I shared DJT's post on Truth Social: “At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, 1/24

elmo, theil, heritage, israel, russia, NRx, and others all had a big hand getting krasnov in office. Now they're all collecting Remember when our data was given away to dark forces?? Well, it seems that elmo is cashing in! They all are! America we have a problem! 🚨 youtu.be/rDvypfyIGl8?...

Not to disagree with God, but it might end up being the biggest scandal and coverup in the history of the world. This was a highly organized multi-million (billion?) dollar international human trafficking organization. The truth will be so extensive and horrifying that it will beggar description.

🚨🚨🚨 This country has quickly lost control; states rights are no more. PLEASE listen to Governor Pritzker and know that what is happening in CA, IL, NY, OR, etc., will be in your city/state sooner than you think. 1/2

“Congress’ failure to pass funding before midnight Tuesday triggers the first shutdown in seven years, giving Trump broad authority over federal operations - impacting government, employees, and Americans.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“ flip.it/VuBUlZ

“A lucrative [$2 BILLION] transaction involving the Trump family’s cryptocurrency firm and an agreement giving the Emiratis access to A.I. chips were connected… In the middle of both deals was Mr. Trump, who has used his power to enrich himself…” @ericlipton.nytimes.com bsky.app/profile/eric...

"never want to hear MAGA claim to believe in freedom ever again. Masked agents of the state random people off the streets into unmarked cars while saying “liberals ruined the country.” bsky.app/profile/maxb... "pay ICE agents increasingly larger sums of money, yet teachers buy their own pencils"

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

Good morning, Bob.

Another way of looking at it

“There has never been a president in American history who has gone out of his way to free more criminals and accommodate more crimes than Donald Trump.” @chrislhayes.bsky.social @allinwithchris.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/alli... Trump pardons criminals and he’s blocking local funding for police.

One person having the power to upend entire industries and economic sectors on a whim every day that puts companies out of business and workers out of jobs with no legislative input is an autocracy, regardless of whether that person initially acquired power through an election.

The case against Comey is weak and only moved after Trump fired a U.S. attorney and installed a loyalist: proof he’ll wield DOJ power for retribution...even against establishment Republicans. If he’ll do it to them...he’ll do it to anyone.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Democrats are fighting to save massive healthcare cuts. Republicans want to pass a budget that slashes them to enrich the top 1% & Trump’s facist projects. Know the facts. Accept the truth. #ThisIsTrumpsShutdown

the idea that you could just pass specific bills on specific areas with simple majorities is just beyond the ability and comprehension of most lawmakers in congress it seems

MAGA: why won’t the radical, lunatic, communist, America-hating, enemy of the people libtards stop calling us names?

This is an Eyecatcher @teamcanadaforever.bsky.social @piperformissouri.bsky.social

Need encouragment? 👇 This is really good stuff!! youtu.be/_ILAMub1-y8?...

The Supreme Court ruled that Trump can unilaterally withhold $4 billion in foreign aid already approved by Congress that his regime deemed “wasteful.” Meanwhile, he’s happy to bail out his authoritarian pal in Argentina to the tune of $20 billion. Talk about wasteful.

Hey Mike Johnson, where in the Bible does it tell you to protect pedofiles and child sex traffickers?

Media and Dems are still getting this badly wrong: Trump is deeply unpopular! Recent approval numbers: 38-54 (Quinnipiac) 39-60 (AP) 40-56 (Gallup) 41-58 (Reuters) 39-56 (Economist) On the pod, @lakshya.splitticket.org explains these numbers brilliantly. Listen: newrepublic.com/article/2010...

NEW: On behalf of the Democratic Party, today we filed our brief in the U.S. Supreme Court to defend a campaign finance law that has been on the books for more than 50 years from Republican attacks. www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

In today’s completely unsurprising news, the ICE officer very briefly, taken off duty for shoving a woman to the ground in New York is back on the job not even a week later. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-off...

BREAKING: The White House claimed the FBI deep state targeted Homan in the $50K bag-o-cash bribe for government contracts, but it was actually a fellow ICE colleague that steered undercover agents to Homan. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/e...

In other words: Democrats are fighting to keep people healthy and economically secure, Trump is using federal employees like hostages, and Congressional Republicans are fighting only to keep tax cuts for the uber wealthy. Do I have that right? This is Trumps Shutdown.

@jollygoodginger.bsky.social has a call to action for all #VetsAgainstTrump tomorrow @ 5pm.Trump has posted that Portland is now "war ravaged" and he's putting troops in the street. This is not true. There's no war going on in Portland. Antifa is not attacking anyone we are protesting against Facism

With government funding set to expire Tuesday, Speaker Johnson refuses to bring the House back. He knows seating Adelita Grijalva, just elected in Arizona, would trigger a vote on the Epstein Files. Putting politics ahead of governing is reckless and wrong.

They control everything, yet continually whine like spoiled children and blame it on anyone but themselves. It's as if every Republican is a mini-Trump.

“Trump is launching an authoritarian takeover of Portland hoping to provoke conflict in my hometown,” Wyden wrote on social media. “I urge Oregonians to reject Trump’s attempt to incite violence in what we know is a vibrant and peaceful city.” Here we go... #Pinks www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

All the worst people were eager for the chance to work for ICE.

Jeff Bezos has cozied up to Trump and silenced criticism of him at the Washington Post. Now Amazon will pay Trump's FTC a slap-on-the-wrist fine of $2.5B — just 1/10 of 1% of its total market cap — to settle a major lawsuit. More pay-to-play schemes in Trump's swamp.
