I’ll be expecting some more leaks to the press from Maxwell in 3…2…

Scott MacFarlane reports Democracy Forward has ordered the Trump administration to preserve all records tied to Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against his own IRS and the newly created slush fund. CEO Skye Perryman: “Preserve your documents, because we’re going to see you in court.”

It's over. Bottoms will be the Democratic nominee for governor.

This is exactly the way. Find some awful Jan6 story from your state, your CD, and start talking relentlessly about it, asking people if they want to pay that criminal.

Trump has dispatched Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry to Nuuk with an ultimatum to Greenland: give up your sovereignty by Trump’s birthday—or else. The Trump regime calls it a “negotiation” for a permanent U.S. military presence. Greenland and Denmark see it as a direct threat to their sovereignty.

Further "kinetic strikes" in Nigeria. You may have missed it, what with the Iran War, boat strikes, US ops in Mexico, & a potential invasion of Cuba, but the Trump admin has also gone to war in Nigeria without authorization or any clear explanation. (Reliance on the 2001 AUMF would be misplaced.)

BREAKING: It took eight tries, but the Senate has voted 50-47 to advance a resolution to limit Trump’s war on Iran. Bill Cassidy flipped after losing his primary, joining Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and Rand Paul in voting with Democrats. John Fetterman was the only Dem to vote against.

Some good news! The Senate voted 50-47 today to advance a measure that would force Trump to either end the war in Iran or win authorization from Congress to continue it. The first time the effort has actually moved forward.

We’ve been telling y’all: Trump is manipulating the market. In case you still had doubts, watch this. A sitting president openly hyping companies right after buying their stock should set off alarms for everyone. Imagine the nonstop outrage from Republicans and Fox News if a Democrat pulled this.

"[Palantir workers] joined a company that promised to stop abuses of power, and they are watching it build the tools that make those abuses faster, wider, and harder to undo. The question they are left with is ... at what point does building the machine make you responsible for what it does?"

I love this for them.

Not enough news coverage of how the insurrectionist reparations fund is a clear violation of the 14th Amendment. We need to enforce the Constitution in its original meaning and plain text. You can't imagine away parts of the Constitution just because it is politically inconvenient.

Trump's $1.8 billion theft, made simple: Lawsuits are supposed to be real. His lawsuit against the IRS was fake. "It is illegal, because Congress has said you can use this money only to settle real cases," @harrylitman.bsky.social tells me. Much more on the pod: newrepublic.com/article/2106...

Bottom line: The president should not be able to own and trade stocks. Or the vice president. Or members of Congress.

🪖 The Armed Forces of Ukraine have surpassed the occupiers for the first time in the number of offensive actions per day, — Syrskyi

Maybe Trump and so many members of Congress think the stock market is an accurate reflection of the economy because they spend so much time trading stocks with insider information. Is it any wonder why so many people feel the system is broken? (It is.)

P.S. Trump just also pardoned himself for all tax crimes

❗️The State Duma of the Russian Federation for the first time called for an immediate end to the war with Ukraine due to economic problems. 👀 Deputy Suleymanov said 40% of the federal budget already goes to defense…

"Every time Palestinians and their supporters organize internationally, Washington reaches for the terrorism label to shut them down," said one critic.

Unusual order in the Trump v. IRS case by Judge Williams. While dismissing the case (she has no choice), she explicitly notes: 1. The is still a question whether controversy existed. 2. There is no settlement of record. 3. The lawyers for the government still have ethical obligations in the case.

This is an unprecedented level of corruption. Trump is forcing the government to drop ALL tax audits of him, his family, and his businesses—giving him FULL IMMUNITY from prosecution. What is Trump hiding from the American people? Congress must step up and stop this corruption.

Social Security has delivered payments to beneficiaries in full and on time for 90 years. We can win the fight to protect and expand our earned benefits. But only if we can stand together.

Music has always had the ability to speak to us, and for us, in a way nothing else can. That’s why, if you want to understand the last 250 years of American life, one of the best ways to do it is to listen to the music that defined them.

Todd Blanche lied under oath to congress when he claimed he'd met with the Epstein survivors and their attorneys. He has not, despite months of repeated attempts on their part. It's not the only time he's lied under oath about something related to the Epstein files. newrepublic.com/post/210613/...

"Neither former President Barack Obama nor Joe Biden traded stocks or bonds while in office..." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

A “fun” thing about the 1776 number is it makes it more clear how much the settlement agreement is corrupt. Todd Blanche signed his name to an official government document claiming this figure was “based on the projected valuation of future claimants’ claims,” which is clearly, obviously, a lie.

The decisions made by state supreme courts touch every part of our lives. And that’s especially important when voting rights and basic freedoms are being challenged. Today voters in Georgia can stand up for fairness and integrity by electing Miracle Rankin and Jen Jordan to Georgia’s Supreme Court.

Ken Paxton is one of the most corrupt people in politics. Texans should be sending him to prison — not the Senate.

NEW: The Governor of Tennessee announced that he has no plans to stop the state from executing Tony Carruthers on Thursday, even though the state still hasn't tested evidence that could prove Tony's innocence. The world is watching. Governor Lee can still intervene until Thursday morning.

Sharks are vital to ocean health, yet millions are killed for soup. Let's protect them and preserve our ecosystems for future generations.

Trump disclosed over 3,700 trades he made from a corporate stock trading spree earlier this year. Meanwhile, he and his administration promoted and did business with some of the same companies. This level of self-enrichment is unprecedented and unconscionable.

The White House is preparing to take $1.8 BILLION by force from American taxpayers and simply transfer it to the people who attacked our Capitol and assaulted our Capitol Police. It is a good moment to rewatch the video of exactly who those people are, and what they did.

. Trump could have called in the National Guard on J6, but didn't. So much for law and order. Only when it suits him. I'll be posting clips from time to time of 'Trump's Day Of Love on January 6th', just to remind people what MAGA love really looks like.

UPDATE: A federal court denies Black voters’ request to keep Louisiana’s current congressional map with two majority-Black districts in place. The decision allows the state to advance a proposal with only one majority-Black district, which the state legislature is currently working toward.

Just unbelievable corruption. He said he would drain the swamp, instead he brought in the swampiest administration in history, declared himself Supreme Emperor of Swampopia, and ordered his justice department to essentially give his entirely family immunity.

Fight back.

The insurrectionist pedophile in question is Andrew Paul Johnson and it is public record that he tried to silence his victim(s) with promises of Trump millions for J6.

Even Trump appointees know how disgustingly corrupt this is, and it still has not received 10% of the coverage and attention it deserves as media moves on to other things.

Van Hollen to Blanche: "Two days ago, you even suggested there was 'a ton of evidence' the 2020 election was rigged against Trump. And here you are a budget hearing asking for taxpayer funds when you're using them to punish Trump's adversaries, reward his friends, and pursue his personal vendettas."

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche refused today to bar people convicted of assaulting police officers from receiving payments from the Justice Department’s newly created $1.776 billion slush-fund, which is intended to

The Looter-in-chief can’t get away with his corruption without assistance from Congressional Republicans, who could easily stop him today if they really wanted to.
