Any account saying they have the right to complain even though they don’t vote should STFU. Voting is the MINIMUM you should be doing if you want to have a say in how your government functions. That’s the floor. A true democracy requires more. Much more.

E. Jean Carroll didn't just accuse Trump of sexual assault, she took him to court and he was found liable. All headlines should reflect this fact. Now Trump is using the full power of the United States Government to punish her for this action. This is a new level of fascistic political persecution.

What a disgrace. Says it all, really. 😕🇺🇸

My favorite note from yesterday: Without Colbert, the network formerly known as CBS… Is now just BS!

I would love to know why people are willing to go along with the idea that it's fine for a president to keep his tax returns secret because it might destroy him if they're revealed.

…and the movie’s in a never ending loop! 😱

There Has Never Been an Example of Presidential Corruption Like This www.nytimes.com/2026/05/20/o... "Americans should be cleareyed about what the president is doing. He is taking their [OUR] money and showering it on criminals."

PERSON OF THE DAY. 20 May 1946. Cher (Cherilyn Sarkisian) was born in El Centro, California, USA. She found international fame with the popular duo Sonny and Cher. She’s known for her distinctive contralto voice and her fashion style. She’s also appeared in many acclaimed Hollywood films.

Wow, brave. Speak truth to power, Mr. President.

I.R.S. Prohibited From Pursuing Audits of Trump and His Family www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/u... Could the Trump Family Crime Syndicate be any clearer that they have all been cheating on their taxes for years? Bigly Cheating.

BREAKING: The judge in the $1.7B slush fund suit has dismissed the case, but she says THERE IS NO SETTLEMENT OF RECORD. As I said earlier, the media must stop reporting that this slush fund is a settlement. It's just plain THEFT. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Meanwhile this is just being ignored and normalized. Christian nationalism has won.

Trump didn't settle a lawsuit. He dropped the lawsuit so there's no lawsuit to settle. He's just stealing this money. The lawsuit was just for show so he could say he settled a lawsuit.

The media is acting like Trump has done us a favor by "dropping" his $10 billion lawsuit in exchange for a couple billion dollars for him to spend on his own criminal defense. The corruption is right out in the open and Republicans are pretending not to see it.

This should be the headline story on every news publication and telecast including local news every day for several days. But it won’t. It will be shrugged off like so much else by so much of media. The most corrupt thing that has ever come out of the US govt.

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

Trump just stole $1.8B. He’s going to give it to his business, his kids, and people like Flynn, Eastman, Giuliani, and the Oath Keepers. He’s doing this without court approval or Congress. This is a crime, but there’s no one to prosecute it because the DoJ is in on it.

The people who smeared shit on the walls of the Capitol now get to reach into our pockets and take our money.

Here’s the payoff. How is this okay? We’re now paying off people who stormed the Capitol. The DOJ is creating a nearly $1.8B fund for Trump supporters after Trump sued the IRS, a case headed for dismissal, then settled with his own administration. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/05...

NEW! Trump is creating a $1.8 BILLION dollar terrorist slush fund with our tax dollars to pay his Jan 6 terrorists who beat up police officers and stormed the Capitol. This is exactly the same as if Bin Laden had created a fund to compensate his 9/11 terrorists.

Trump’s DOJ gave Trump 1.7B to give to Trump supporters who attacked the Capitol for Trump while the rest of us sit here looking under couch cushions for loose change to pay our medical bills. Everything is so dumb

They attacked our Capitol in his name. First he released them from prison. Now he’s rewarding them with millions. They beat the police officers who were protecting the citadel of our democracy, and now they’re going to be millionaires. youtu.be/d0lWyU748cA?...

Donald Trump just stole $1.7B from us — and he's creating a slush fund to reward his political allies. I've never seen anything like this in my 50 years in politics. It makes Nixon look like a boy scout. www.cnbc.com/2026/05/18/t...

Trump didn’t just pardon his followers who stormed the U.S. Capitol. He’s now set them up for payments through a slush fund he created to reward his allies—out of your tax dollars. You could not make this up.

I am tired of end runs

So incredibly corrupt. A slush fund for his friends who attacked the Capitol, ogles, etc. - and himself. www.kwqc.com/2026/05/18/t...

Trump establishing a $1.7 billion fund to hand out taxpayers dollars to J6ers, members of House, Senate, Trump's friends & family. There is no congressional authorization. Trump is literally stealing your money.

Normally, you can't blame the president for high gas prices. But, when Trump starts a war that causes gas prices to soar because Iran blocked the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation, then yes, he gets all the blame. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

Mike Johnson thinks $174,000 isn’t enough to survive without insider trading. But $15/hour is too much to ask for everyone else. Every single day, these goons prove how disconnected they are from everyday Americans.

Trump's insecure and childish inability to ever admit to making a mistake is really going to catch up with him on this very public, obvious mistake. He's making possibly the worst verbal flub in American presidential history even worse by stamping his little feet in foolish defiance.

In summary - Bret Baier: Did you mean to tell the American people to fuck off? Trump: I said fuck off. I meant for the American people to fuck off and I'm telling them again: fuck off.

Both campaigns were blind to the war crimes being committed by Israel. The Biden administration should have taken a hard line with Israel, cut funding, cut weapon supplies.

Both electable candidates were pro-genocide. One was pro a specific genocide, the other is pro the general concept, and would like it applied broadly, in the style of the subject of the book he keeps on his nightstand.

It was clearly a tragic event, but the hero worship seems so misplaced. One would hope that the training at the police academy for handling a wrong-way driver does not include interventions that kill both the officer and the driver.

Really not sure how a democracy comes back from "no, that statewide election with a clear result didn't count because we say so." When of course in my state we 1) didn't even get a vote and 2) the state police held guns to the opposition, including my representative, to get their bill passed.

The rich are complaining that “tax the rich”is hate speech The same people who use cheap foreign labor and exploit the masses They are complaining about “hate speech” Time to bring out the torches and pitchforks
