Pam Bondi is pure trash and an embarrassment to the legal profession and to what used to be a honorable institution - the DOJ.

Now we learn the billionaire owner of a bridge that will compete w/the new Canada-MI bridge met with Lutnick right before Trump issued his threat to shut down the new bridge. The Trump admin is a lawless mafia gangster extortion racket existing to enrich oligarchs at our expense.

A friend of ours was able to be a test subject for an mRNA vaccine for an aggressive form of breast cancer. Completely worked. It is one of the greatest miracles of science and like 40% of the country turned it into The Jab because they are mushheaded simpletons.

When did CAFOs become “cattle ranchers”?

How long until the networks pivot from "CSI: New Orleans" to "Grand Jury: DC"?

This was a failed coup by the Trump administration against Democratic members of Congress. Everyday Americans on the grand jury stopped it. The 6 targets were right all along—don’t follow illegal orders. Speak truth to power. Because it will prevail.

4 months after Trump pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, Forbes reports that Binance now holds $4.7 billion of the $5.4 billion supply of Trump’s World Liberty Financial stablecoin. That is 87%. It is the largest corruption scandal in the history of the US presidency.

Khanna: "Here we have a sitting cabinet member, Lutnick, who's all over the files as having a business relationship allegedly and personal relationship alleged after Epstein was convicted. He's allegedly lied about his relationship. And there's no consequence. We need to get real in this country."

This is a slap in the face to NW Ohio cattlemen struggling to make a living. After giving $40 Billion to bailout Argentina before bailing out American farmers impacted by his trade wars, now we are helping Argentina again? This Administration is selling out American farmers!

Brian Allen 🚨 MAJOR BOMBSHELL: Rep. Jamie Raskin says the DOJ redacted a legal synopsis quoting Trump admitting Epstein was a guest at Mar-a-Lago in 2009 and was never asked to leave. Trump has repeatedly claimed he kicked Epstein out in 2004. That’s a direct contradiction.

Ya know what you don’t see on social media today? Puerto Ricans bitching because Lady Gaga sang in English.

It’s odd that the religious right is so upset about a halftime show that celebrated marriage, love, community, small business, hard work, and family. 🤔

“The White House believes the average refund could increase by $1,000 thanks to tax cuts in the GOP’s signature legislation” So when Elon gets a billion back, we all “average” a $3 return each

“I’m mad I can’t understand Bad Bunny’s lyrics because they’re not in English” my brother millions of metalheads around the world have been happily listening to incomprehensible Finnish shrieks and Japanese death grunts since we were teens, you’re just boring and racist

lol

Somebody didn’t tune in to Kid Rock

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota. This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats. They hate the helpers. Which is why must keep helping.

hard to think of a better example of "you may not believe in class war, but billionaires know they're in one" than this

“I had him very lifelike,” Cottrill told The Times. “The crypto guys said I had to get rid of some of the turkey neck. I had to thin him down.”

How have we turned “drop in for a bit and fuck everything up beyond recognition” into a career path?

Richard Lloyd just announced that Television bassist Fred Smith died in hospice today RIP to one of the greats

Black farmers are getting shut out by the Trump administration. John Boyd, president of the National Black Farmers Association, says the WH told him, they are “moving away from DEI and small farm issues, and they were focusing on large-scale white farms… because they produce the most food.”

I legit don’t know if I will ever get past this ad I saw walking to an appt this morning in soho. And yes, it’s a company that uses human sounding AI voice bots to take over your customer service calls.

Layoffs this month are the highest since 2009. Is that why you deleted this tweet?

Breaking: Washington Post gutting its climate team. The Post sent layoff notices to at least 14 #climate journalists. open.substack.com/pub/climatec...

The guy who personally outsourced billions of dollars of government work outsources journalism to tweet authors and rewards man who writes article complaining what a waste it is to outsource billions of dollars of government work…..

Someone needs to tell them that if they have a hand free for texting, they aren’t doing it right.

This is who runs this account

Trump took this over two months ago on the premise that it was losing money. Now it is a 100% loss for two years.

Since a lot of the coverage is omitting this detail: The Kennedy Center HAD a $250 million renovation and expansion just a few years ago, in 2019.

Democrats in Congress need to immediately appoint an adhoc bicameral working group to organize civil society and the legal community to stop Trump's ongoing desecration of our national monuments and the Capital. This has gone too far. Congress must step up and fight.

This is corruption on a breathtaking level. Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, an Abu Dhabi royal nicknamed the "spy sheikh", pumped $187mn into Trump family businesses. A WSJ team has the whole story, reported here for the first time. Remember: Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm.

First Avenue should be on the National Registry of historic Properties by now. So many greats over so many years

The legendary Catherine O’Hara has died. She was 71. Per TMZ.

But no charges for the federal officers who shot chemical agents and pepper balls at clergy members because it’s actually not about protecting religious freedom at all.

KRUGMAN: “.. It’s a humiliating day for the Federal Reserve. .. Donald Trump thinks he looks the part. “.. Warsh’s colleagues will largely ignore him, albeit without expressing their contempt ..” @pkrugman.bsky.social paulkrugman.substack.com/p/a-bad-heir...

We are now 42 days beyond the statutory deadline for the full release of the Epstein files

Ducks Unlimited sends a promotional sticker of a…mandarin duck? DU’s work has benefited a lot of waterfowl species but the mandarin duck (an Asiatic duck often kept in aviaries) isn’t one of them. Conservation communications should be done by real people, with real natural history knowledge.

NEW: A new bill aims to take the power to elect the DC attorney general away from the people of DC and instead hand the president unchecked authority to appoint and fire the role at will. Congress must reject this anti-democratic bill.

A protest sign in Minneapolis. Having lived and served in Ukraine, this one really hits home for me.

I would have ordered it: 1. ICE 2. Wisconsin Badgers 3. Trump Trump is temporary, but those Badgers will be annoying forever.

Gophers and Hawkeyes united in Des Moines today...

The National Science Foundation sign on our Eisenhower Av building is now gone. The NSF mural in the foyer is removed and torn off in sheets. We were supposed to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the agency in May 2025. That never happened.

DOJ's response to MN's request for TRO to be able to get evidence of Alex Pretti's murder is sealed--bc, DOJ claims, FBI Agents in MN have been threatened. It presents no evidence of that. INSTEAD, it cites a Jan6er who threatened HIS FBI agent. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It is the ultimate expression of Western hubris to frame the legal guardrails designed to prevent the collapse of civilization as "bureaucratic red tape" that’s unfairly handicapping our righteous intentions.

Remember the Bundy insanity during the Obama years? Armed guys occupied a federal office and one of their buddies took position with a sniper rifle aimed at federal agents? Exactly how many of those guys were shot and killed?

If this is what they do to white American citizens in front of everyone, imagine what happens to non-white people behind closed doors.
