A startup backed by Donald Trump Jr.'s venture capital firm just got a $620M loan from the DoD, months after the Pentagon gave a major drone contract to ANOTHER Trump Jr.-backed company. This is what kleptocracy looks like. https://popular.info/p/update-trump-jr-backed-startup-receives

#GVerse via @calltoactivism.bsky.social 🚨ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?? Mike Johnson waited 50 DAYS to swear in Adelita Grijalva but he swore in Matt Van Epps from Tennessee 48 HOURS after his special election. Mike Johnson is a piece of shit.

BREAKING: The New York Times sued the Pentagon, arguing that new reporting restrictions infringed on the rights of its journalists. The New York Times

Scoop: FBI aims to escalate its inquiry into 6 Democrats who made video for troops by pressing domestic terrorism squad to launch a formal seditious conspiracy investigation. Washington Field Office leaders are pushing back b/c they don't see a crime. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

Pete Hegseth told US soldiers in Iraq to ignore legal advice on rules of engagement Defense secretary shares anecdote in The War on Warriors and rails against ‘rules and regulations’ governing war share.google/0pHOKLofcA63...

It’s time for folks at DoD and in the IC to start lawyering up. If you’re an officer or official who was forced into pushing through potentially illegal orders, get a lawyer. If you’re a soldier, seaman or airman who was forced to execute them, get a lawyer.

BREAKING: WELL, WELL, WELL! Newly unearthed footage shows Pete Hegseth saying EXACTLY what the six Democrats said in their video that prompted Trump and Hegseth to hysterically smear them as traitors! You must refuse illegal orders.

The boats the regime is claiming are going from Venezuela to the US would need to refuel over 20 times to get to Miami. They are lying to us.

If today’s reporting is accurate, the Pentagon didn’t just “miss” survivors on that boat they knew they were there and ordered the strike anyway. Accountability isn’t optional and it’s obvious the Trump is trying to bury the story! Admiral Bradley is to testify tomorrow! #USDemocracy #Pinks

Grandma’s been hitting the eggnog again and now she’s having flashbacks—she just tried to recruit the Christmas tree into the Navy and challenged the Nutcracker to a dance-off. Someone hide the mistletoe before things get weird.

We, at Bluesky, feel educational tidbits are important. Here is your free educational experience for today.

As his approval sinks, Trump will turn to the emotion from which his power derives: fear. Fear closes us off from each other, weakens what is our strength, deprives us of our future and only serves to secure his. The antidote is hope. An autocrat cannot defeat a hopeful people. Hold fast to it.

Robert's Court of Corruption

No one will stop me from defending our freedoms.

This is explicitly confirming the allegation: that he's ordering the killings for their own sake. The logical implication of which is hit them again if there are any survivors, which is both exactly what the Post reported and a cold-blooded textbook war crime.

We need to start calling him this #SecretaryofWarCrimes

The FBI has officially opened inquiry into Sen. Elissa Slotkin, as confirmed by Sen. Slotkin. This is not a corrupt "administration," as it is not an administration. It is a gaggle of corrupt losers...enabling the most corrupt human being in the history of our country. #HOLDFAST

You have to ask, why was Witkoff chosen for this critically important role of special envoy to Putin? He had no diplomatic or foreign policy experience. No education on those subjects. So of all people, why him? I think what we all surmised is clear - Putin wanted Witkoff.

So proud of MY Senator!

Comey: "I'm grateful the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence & incompetence... I was inspired by the career people who refused to be part of this travesty. It cost some of them their jobs, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price"

I want to apologize to the rest of the world, because electing this guy didn’t just harm us, it sent shockwaves through global democracy. Thanks to this incompetent government, we’ve managed to export our chaos far beyond our own borders. Sharing a video of others who feel similarly.👇

Look everyone….Your American taxpayer money is getting paid for Kash Patel and ICE Barbie Noem to head out to Las Vegas for a VIP weekend to watch the F1 race….i wonder if they at least saved a little bit of money by taking the same PJ?

Mark Kelly: "The message he sent a couple days ago was he declared that loyalty to the Constitution is now punishable by death. Those are serious words coming from the president. He's trying to intimidate us. But I'm not going to be intimidated."

They’re going after female-dominated fields. Trying to delegitimize the work of women.

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

Corruption at every level of government. Inconvenient truths are eradicated.

Personalized gold bars from the Swiss. Used jumbo jet from Qatar. Huge amounts of $$$ from crypto. The amount of corruption in the White House is at unconscionable levels. We need some real serious ethics across the federal government.

President Zelenskyy came to the White House, looking for help from his longstanding ally. He was ambushed, humiliated and berated for not being grateful enough. Prince Bone Saw bin 9/11 came to the White House, for the first time since he ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. He was revered.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

Again before we go praising MTG… and if shes truly changed great, but can somebody please ask her about January 6? Have her address that to see if this is real

Wild how Trump is now cheering on the release of the Epstein files like the arsonist offering to help investigate the fire. Why - this “sharp reversal” ? Will the files be totally redacted? #EpsteinFiles #WSJ #Trump #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/AnoQL8FekTKW...

This should alarm everyone. On Thursday, Florida, by unanimous vote, became the first state in the country to adopt “The Phoenix Declaration: An American Vision for Education.” It was written by the Heritage Foundation, the same group behind Project 2025. THIS IS INDOCTRINATION

this!!!

Massie: "The president has been saying this is a hoax. Well, he's just now decided to investigate a hoax, if it's a hoax. And I have another concern about these investigations he's announced. If they have ongoing investigations, those documents can't be released. So this might be a big smokescreen."

👇👇

In July, an FBI memo about the Epstein case said: “We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.” But in a desperate deflection today, Trump ordered AG Bondi to investigate Bill Clinton. She got right on it. These people make dirt look clean.

Count the ways they’re corrupting DOJ: Presidents don’t direct AG’s to open criminal cases, especially ones designating only Dems for investigation when POTUS himself is involved. DOJ doesn’t publicize criminal investigations & the AG definitely doesn’t assign them on Twitter.

This is beyond disgusting. Even at 18, it’s gross—full stop.But bending over backwards to excuse behavior involving 14-15-and 16-year-old children? That’s not just sick, that’s a moral collapse.The twisted pretzel-logic these MAGAts use to justify it is revolting.They are CHILDREN! Underage=CHILDREN

Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?

BREAKING: CNN is reporting that Trump held a meeting in the Situation Room (Yes THE SITUATION ROOM!) with Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche, Kash Patel and Lauren Boebert over the House effort to force the release of the DOJ’s Epstein files! They are panicking big time!

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes. Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

“In one email … Mr. Epstein told Ms. Maxwell, who was later convicted on charges related to facilitating his crimes, ‘I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is Trump.’ He added that an unnamed victim ‘spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned.’”
