There were multiple votes last night to make the $1.8 billion cop beater fund illegal and Republicans blocked every single one, paving the way for Trump to resuscitate his slush fund.

According to new reports, Trump's White House personally ordered the Pentagon to give a $620M loan to a company linked to Don Jr. Stocks for other Don Jr.-advised defense contractors are surging, amid rumors of more DoD deals. This is corruption. Watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBns...

Insanity, utter insanity ... and greed beyond belief. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/05/b...

SANCHEZ: I think it's safe to say this is probably the most corrupt Treasury Department in our nation's history BESSENT: I AM GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE EXCEPTION WITH THAT! THAT IS SLANDEROUS

Can’t be repeated enough👇🏽 Just so insane

Former employees of private prison companies like GEO Group continue to score top roles in agencies like ICE and DHS. Those companies own & operate torture centers that masquerade as detention facilities. @kim.senate.gov on exposing the corruption & horrible conditions. youtu.be/IJFvNfq09Lk?...

If the administration can pick which court orders count, there is no rule of law. There is only power.

Pete Hegseth’s Defense Department has hired a convicted Jan. 6 rioter for a sensitive counterterrorism position because of course… This is The January 6th Regime. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

U.S. government decides its best to stop monitoring marine heat waves, ocean acidification and the impact on fisheries and coastal flooding. This is NSF's "strategy to have a nimbler approach to prioritizing support for evolving scientific priorities" www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/c...

I teach about this in my upper div oceanography class every year. My students design observing systems around the world based upon this as a model. I guess I’ll just teach about other countries’ systems now that the US is intentionally taking a back seat on scientific innovation and discovery. 😭

"Perhaps more than any other killing device, the M-44 epitomizes the utter callousness and cruelty of the federal government’s predator control activities, and its use is not merely beyond the pale. It is intolerable." www.the-express.com/news/politic...

Ossoff: "Speaking of corruption, my 2 opponents. They tried to run Kemp, but he refused. So we're left with the congressman who's only a congressman because his daddy was a congressman and the coach who's only a coach bc his daddy was a coach ... they're both Trump puppets and we'll beat either one"

The US military has now murdered 200 people in small boats in the waters off South America. Local fishing communities have been upended.

Ossoff: "While you pay more for everything, Donald Trump wants your tax dollars for what many are calling the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom."

I understand why towns put police in schools, but there is a really dark side to this when it’s done wrong. This expose about Texas is damning. Kids being slammed against walls for vaping. A disabled student hogtied.

This is true and I’m glad he said it. But our economy has become valueless. It teaches us that a “good” company is one that abuses its workers and makes poisonous products - as long as it makes a huge profit. It’s hard to build a moral nation without a moral capitalism.

The Trump administration extracted a payoff from Bosnia's government in exchange for getting the Bosnian Serbs to okay a cross-border gas pipeline: Bosnia gave the contract to a US firm run by Trump lawyer/2020 truther Jesse Binnall and Michael Flynn's brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

We've never seen an economy so bad for workers — and so good for the super rich. It’s only going to get worse with AI. How should we respond?

BARTIROMO: What are you going to do about your perception? The Wall Street Journal describes you as 'scandal plagued' PAXTON: The reality is they could say the same thing about Donald Trump

Sen. Chris Murphy: "I just think ultimately Donald Trump has decided he does not want to help Ukraine, and there doesn't seem to be enough courage in the Republican caucus to fight back"

New: A top White House aide intervened to get a $620 million Pentagon loan for a company tied to Donald Trump Jr. “The call came from the White House: We have to get this done,” said one person involved. www.propublica.org/article/dona...

“The call came from the White House: We have to get this done,” the person said.  About three months before the Pentagon announced plans to lend money to Vulcan Elements, Donald Trump Jr.’s venture capital firm took an undisclosed stake in the company. @robert-faturechi.bsky.social

The economic divide between the rich and everyone else has increased under Trump.   I’m on @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social this morning to explain how average Americans are struggling as stocks soar.

There is not a grand jury in America that will indict E. Jean Carroll. We see you.

Ken Paxton just gave an Epstein-style deal to a pedophile. Paxton released Adam Hoffman — an admitted child rapist — back on our streets after Paxton’s rich lawyer friend got involved. The Epstein Class has no place in Texas. Ken Paxton has no place in the US Senate.

By the gods but he really is the most fragile petty little snowflake of all times.

this side effect of the war is not even part of the US conversation

"In just the last 20 years, the United States has lost 22 percent of its butterflies..." www.nytimes.com/2026/05/21/c...

Happening now at Delaney Hall. Protesters are outside the facility demanding the release of Martin Soto, the leader that started a hunger and labor strike to protest inhumane conditions. iCE has rolled in a tank and is pointing their weapons on peaceful protesters that are forming a human chain.

The JCPOA was a huge success, and didn’t cost precious lives, a trillion dollars, or America’s global reputation. We all know why Trump ripped it up.

The Americans Trump got killed* for no reason. (*that we know about)

An ad that argues private equity has too much power is taken down off the air by a private equity funded company that owns the team, the TV station that airs the team’s games, and the newspaper that covers the team. Platner couldn’t have written the script better himself.

Journalist Katie Phang is suing the U.S. Justice Department over the Epstein files. Her lawsuit names acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and accuses the DOJ of failing to fully release the documents required under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

🚨 The Trump DOJ has now moved to dismiss the seditious conspiracy case against Oath Keepers founder Elmer Stewart Rhodes III and several other Oath Keepers who participated in the January 6th insurrection — with prejudice — meaning the charges cannot be brought again.

Shout out to Aaron Parnas, who has been working to save many of the DOJ files the administration is trying to delete.

“The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.” apnews.com/article/just...

A judge dismissed all charges against the Broadview Six after learning prosecutors communicated with grand jurors outside the jury room, excused dissenting jurors, and redacted misconduct from transcripts. The judge said her trust in the DOJ was broken. Think about how extraordinary that is.

FLAG: The Trump Justice Department is now acknowledging it has removed from its website news releases about criminal cases related to the Jan. 6 insurrection — calling the information about the prosecutions "partisan propaganda" (it is not).

How is this farce of a do nothing government still going on? It's as if the system that protects incompetent white men and women in power was built to protect incompetent white men and women to stay in power.

The Arlington National Cemetery Memorial apparently has deleted references and information on everyone interred there who wasn’t a white straight man from their database - attempting to sweep their existence under the rug. My thoughts on this obscenity cannot legally be shared on this platform.

Every so often I just like to remember this tweet exists.
