Ka$h pledges to have the FBI devote unlimited resources to investigate every right-wing conspiracy on the internet related to the Kirk shooting.

Probably a coincidence that Hegseth puts out a new edict restricting Pentagon reporters from gathering military info and reporting it right as the Trump admin launches their campaign to start blowing up boats.

Trump can threaten, yell at, pressure, cajole Pam Bondi anytime he wants in private. And I’m sure he does all the time. All he has to do is pick up the phone. But the one yesterday he posted on social media. Why go public with it? Same as always - to put his mob on her.

This is your Republican Congress. It is exactly what their response is to every abuse of power by Trump. Vote every one of these sycophantic cultists up for reelection out of office in 2026. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Everything Trump does is intended to enrich himself and his wealthy cronies while incrementally seizing power from Congress in a variety of areas to wield himself as an authoritarian while Republicans in Congress acquiesce.

I got my popcorn out ready for Republicans to hit the Sunday shows condemning Trump for threatening his AG with termination if she doesn’t immediately indict his political enemies. The party of principled courageous defenders of the constitution will be heard from today!🍿

The Golden Age of Trump

Child sex trafficker protecting Trump and his cronies heads to her yoga class at Club Fed.

What he is saying quite clearly is that Pam Bondi must indict several of his long-time political enemies immediately or she will be fired and replaced by someone who will.

If Tom Homan was a Democrat and a Democratic admin dropped his bribery charge, James Comer would’ve already issued a hundred subpoenas and been on Fox 75 times.

Release the Homan Files!

The (UK) Telegraph on Trump's visit: "There were the marching bands with their flawless precision and the procession of ceremonial carriages whose windows are designed to allow a view of their esteemed occupants waving to jubilant crowds. But there was no waving because there were no crowds.”

So what happened to the $50K in cash Tom Homan got in the Cava bag? Was it deposited in his bank account and reported as income that he paid taxes on? Is it under his mattress?

1D chess.

I guess modern history began in 2017.

Mike Johnson said this kind of rhetoric is highly inflammatory and incites people.

This is who Trump is floating as his new AG unless Bondi starts indicting his enemies.

So Trump gets DOJ to drop an obvious bribery case against Tom Homan, then fires the US Attorney who found insufficient evidence to prosecute Letitia James, then threatens to fire Pam Bondi and replace her with dunce Lindsey Halligan unless she immediately indicts his enemies.

This is the most corrupt and disgusting thing I think I’ve ever seen from a president. A blatantly impeachable offense. Republicans in Congress will say and do nothing.

Deport this MFer.

Republicans in Congress: ABC made a business decision based on ratings and input from their viewers and advertisers. Trump and Carr: No, it was us. We hated him and demanded he be fired. I kinda have to believe Trump on this one.

Anybody seen Sean Duffy today or is he making another workout video with Hegseth?

Time Magazine article from Feb 13, 1939.

But the good news is, RFK Jr is in charge of public health.

Ted Cruz said in a senate hearing a few years ago that J6 was a “terrorist attack” on the Capitol and took it all back in a groveling interview on Tucker Carlson 24 hours later. So I’m not all that excited he defended the First Amendment today. Let’s see what he says next week.

We continue to kill people on boats in the ocean and Trump continues to ask people to believe they had drugs on board because he never lies. bsky.app/profile/meid...

I’d really like to know what Joe Manchin thinks about … … said no one ever.

After Trump fired the last director because the numbers were terrible for him. Nothing to see here.

What can we feed the cult today to distract from Trump covering up the Epstein files, pissing on the Constitution, selling visas to foreign workers, and wrecking the economy?

You must deify and worship St. Charlie or face dire consequences.

Hegseth orders Pentagon reporters not to report any news about national defense unless it has been approved by Hegseth.

This is the mock up of what Trump intends to do to the White House as it is turned into a UFC venue for his friend and donor Dana White.

After an investigation demanded by Trump, the US Attorney appointed by Trump has determined there is insufficient evidence to charge NY AG Letitia James with a crime. But Trump wants revenge. So he is firing his US Attorney to replace him with someone who will charge James.

It really is always amazing to me that Trump and Republicans have it down to a science dangling a steady diet of culture war nonsense like Cracker Barrel, Bud Light & jeans ads to keep their supporters from noticing that everything they do is to enrich themselves & billionaires.

For a month Trump said he was personally paying for the ballroom. Now we learn he’s been shaking down corporations to pay for it who want something from the govt. Another corrupt scam between Trump and CEOs that he lied about. I doubt he pays a penny.

Oklahoma is 50th in education because Walters uses kids’ education as his play toy to score his next hit on Fox. He couldn’t care less about kids.

This is the cringiest MFer in the MAGA movement, hands down. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I wouldn’t assume that ballroom is going to be there forever.

When you’ve lost Ted Fucking Cruz

For Republicans struggling with proper pronouns … People responsible for the deaths of: Julius Caesar - they, them Charlie Kirk - he, him Thank you for your attention to this matter.

That was fast. This is also why you don’t surrender to autocrats - you fight them and beat them.

While you were sleeping … Trump ended 12 more wars, got Europe to give us $48 trillion, and has gotten extremely good vibes from Putin that he will end the war soon.

Some of these cabinet officials are acting like presidential immunity applies to them. They might need to read that case.

These people hate it when you make them prove their allegations instead of just allowing them to go straight to sentencing & punishment. His bs case against Lisa Cook has fallen apart making him look like the buffoon he is, so they want to remove her now before a hearing.

RFK Jr putting farmers out of business. Then add Trump’s tariffs killing exports, USAID dismantling, fertilizer & tractor tariffs, etc etc This is the most anti-farmer admin in US history and the vast majority of them voted for it. Please don’t ask for a taxpayer bailout. Again.
