Pretty much every regulation was created because something really bad happened and someone got hurt or killed. Deregulation advantages billionaires and huge corporations, and almost always hurts real Americans.

Trump siccing his DOJ attack dogs against E Jean Carroll is one of the most disgusting things he's done.

American workers just took home their smallest share of the nation's wealth since 1947 — even as corporate profits soar. Why? This chart has the answer.

Trump plays Golf whilst US troops take a beating in the Gulf. #USDemocracy youtu.be/y7NTSn5MjuU?...

Awesome!

Waaahhh, you made me cry. I’m taking my toys & going home.

After defense officials got a request to push through a deal with a firm tied to Donald Trump Jr., Pentagon staff moved at an unusually rapid pace. “The call came from the White House: We have to get this done,” said one person involved.

Adding to it. Another 405,000 people’s tax records were leaked so why does he alone get a special deal & why isn’t he splitting it among the other people whose taxes were leaked?

“I’ve informed the police” that protestors are setting up their own medical tent because they’re being beaten and gassed.

Spencer Pratt is a vengeful f*ck and doesn’t deserve to be mayor of this great city. Yesterday I posted court records showing Pratt was arrested in a case that included a hit-and-run charge. He allegedly left an injured person bleeding on the side of the road. Reposting court doc in the 🧵

Greenland's prime minister responds

Is anyone keeping track of how many discharge petitions have happened under Johnson and how that compares to past speakers? It feels like it happens a lot with him.

So your dad is a kid.😉 One of my grandpas came over in 1914 listed occupation a lumberjack. Going back generations some of my family came over as indentured servants. The rich seem to want to return to that.

My question is which gop congress creature will try to get a bill going to do that?

Perryman: They want to make the conversation about how much money is in there, who’s going to claim it—you know, like, let’s start with the fact that you have no authority. You don’t just get to sit at the White House and create these types of funds. There’s no authority to do that.

tRump just gutted 50-year-old protections against off-road vehicles ripping up federal lands—rules Nixon & Carter created to shield wildlife, prevent erosion, & limit destruction. Now it’s open season for habitat loss, & corporate access. Another tRump giveaway to polluters. mcsp.short.gy/Ya07

Paxton only returned the stolen pen after the courthouse security cameras showed he was the one who took it.

BREAKING: Senator Raphael Warnock accuses the Trump administration of high-level corruption over a $620 million Pentagon loan to rare-earth magnet startup Vulcan Elements — noting that Donald Trump Jr.’s venture firm, 1789 Capital, had invested in the company months earlier.

I’m sure Fox News will report it as not six but “hundreds.”

In fact, that’s exactly what America needs. Not right now. 3 months ago.

Going to cost nothing just a billion dollars of waste & grift charged to the taxpayer.

Here’s the deal for those confused: “America 250” is the bipartisan celebration committee. “Freedom 250” is a Trump organization celebrating him masquerading as a celebration of America. The concert was Freedom 250. Hence the cancellations

BREAKING: Fired AG Reveals Trump Coverup of His Potential Criminal Involvement with Former Bestie/Child Sex Trafficker Jeffrey Epstein Was Handled By...Trump's Personal Criminal Defense Lawyer Holy shit. And I say that as a former criminal defense lawyer.

"A flimflam con man selling the world on hate and fear in order to make the next buck and outrun any consequences for criminal behavior,  Donald Trump is a physical manifestation of Edward Bernays' work."

You can’t trick Marilyn. 🙄

TODAY IN 2024: “Their deliberations led them to a unanimous conclusion, beyond a reasonable doubt: That the defendant, Donald J. Trump, is guilty of 34 counts of Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree, to conceal a scheme to corrupt the 2016 election.” manhattanda.org/d-a-bragg-de...

Nope. Nope. Sorry, tech Broligarchs. We know you have all the money & resources that should be shared by hundreds of thousands of others without affecting your decadent lifestyle in the slightest… But when it comes to murder of any kind, the buck has to stop somewhere.

He can always book the squeaky tank from last year.

Bet before he leaves out he will make sure everything in the building is screwed up inside & out. Followed by making sure all his buddies get their share & bankrupting it. The marble he had the center buy will likely be going to mar a lago.

Nothing says patriotism than the amount of money they expect to make off it.

LOL. Trump says artists are dropping out of his Freedom 250 concert because they have the “yips”, and instead, TRUMP - who draws bigger crowds than Elvis - will “perform”.

Of course, if you murder your partner to prevent an abortion, that kills the embryo, too. Shows this is not about "life," but about control. But this bill also blesses using violence short of murder, as well. If you can kill a woman to prevent an abortion, surely you can kidnap her.

Hmmm, looks like some Republicans in North Carolina want to legalize domestic homicide, if a man is killing a pregnant woman. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

The men working for the felon spend the day bragging how manly they are yet watch them on their knees to keep the felon from upsetting him during the meetings or press conferences.

I always feel weird agreeing with MTG but she is right about this. #USDemocracy

Just wondering about rfk jr.s hand. Was that before or after rfk jr picked up the snake & got bitten by snakes he stupidly picked up at Dr. Oz’s place?

I just watched Hegseth’s speech at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore. Let’s be clear about what the Trump Administration’s “Peace Through Strength” has looked like.

BREAKING: we just won our Kennedy Center case! Both the renaming & the closure of the Kennedy Center are enjoined Kudos to our wonderful client @repbeatty.bsky.social & my colleagues @democracydefendersaction.org & Washington Litigation Group This is a 1-2 punch against Trump's corruption

This opinion is soon going to be recognized universally: Trump is the most notorious criminal in modern history. Not since Hitler has any leader of a country plundered, pillaged, and personally enriched himself so obscenely, while giving ZERO fucks to the rule of law.

Where the hell is my congressman, Tom Kean Jr?

I visited my constituent Carlitos at the Adelanto ICE facility. ICE shot him in October. His gunshot wound is infected, his hand is purple, and he’s suffering immense pain—and ICE refuses to give him proper care. I won’t stop fighting until he gets the care he desperately needs.

The Justice Department removed information about the January 6 insurrectionists from its website. @lawfaremedia.org has preserved and posted it www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

Admiral Rob Bauer: "It's remarkable how creative #Ukraine has been in terms of compensating in terms of technology and solutions for the lack of weapons. Tech drones is a good example where 70% of the Shahed drones are now being taken out by Ukrainian weapons, not Patriot missiles." 📹: DW

Didn't these effers ever get taught about Constitutional rights? In order to be a law enforcement officer, you should be tested on people's rights every flippin year & the test should be hard, like passing the fking bar. There should also be psych tests administered it annually.
