“…in places like St. Louis, corporations own over 20% of residential land and much of the housing market. …corporations and billionaires use shell companies and offshore accounts and trusts and complex financial transactions to avoid taxes. The purpose is to hide and hoard money.”

“The picture that emerges is a remarkable story of business leaders working outside the traditional lines of diplomacy to cement a peace agreement with business deals.”

“Last year, Sacks hosted a $12 million fund-raiser for Trump at his San Francisco mansion… After the election, Trump’s team asked Sacks to join the administration. He said he would, as long as he could continue working at Craft — and got his wish.” Gift article.

There are flyers circulating and even mailers showing up in people’s mailboxes in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District that list the wrong date for the upcoming special election. Voters are being told to vote on the incorrect day.

This absurd pardon shows the murderous boat bombings were never about stopping drugs

"If you look at job growth between January and September ... for the past 15 years, it's only been worse once, and that was during the pandemic ... It is the worst first nine months for the labor market in 15 years."

My health insurance premiums will more than double in January. I pay a little less than $500/month for my current silver plan. I just reapplied and my new premium will be $1062/month. And don’t forget: I still have a co-pay for every visit and pay for prescriptions.

Yup, and keep your money out of our politics also.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

Within weeks, eleven of Limburg’s fifteen provincial parties called for the panels to be restored. Theo Bovens, a Dutch senator and former governor of Limburg, called their removal a dishonor. Historian Kees Ribbens said remembrance “must show who truly liberated us.

The alcoholic white nationalist rapist in charge of the Pentagon ordered a blatantly illegal murder of foreign civilians. That’s just a true statement about how America works under Trump.

“Hegseth has been largely absent from high-stakes Ukraine diplomacy instead focusing on culture-war messaging, loyalty signaling, and politicized actions that please Trump…; despite internal concerns about Hegseth’s competence.” This is both dangerous and disgraceful.

Trump & the GOP have gutted education, science, research, social safeguards for Americans…to waste taxpayer dollars on this nonsense.

The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food. The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of what are called "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

DOGE is officially disbanding 8 months ahead of schedule, right as MTG, chair of DOGE oversight, announced her resignation. DOGE cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars & is estimated to have caused the deaths of 300k children. Who’s going to answer for this?

NEWS: I spent the past 24 hours going through major MAGA accounts on Twitter, and a bombshell development has become clear: most of the right-wing ecosphere is being fed propaganda from foreign actors. This impacts elections. This impacts discourse. This is major. Subscribe to support my work:

Trump’s bill strips nursing, teachers, and other vital fields of professional status, cutting students off funding and threatening care while protecting tax breaks for the wealthy.

A stomach-churning, but important read.

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences. It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

“The 119th MAGA Congress is a sewer. It is a moral abomination. It is a late-stage cancer for the American republic. It is the sum of the founders’ fears come to life. The president has become speaker of the House, the US Senate has become a Politburo. There are no checks and balances.” Well said.

Billions of dollars now flow into Trump family private equity firms.

Coast Guard allows Swastikas, nooses, and confederate flags. The U.S. military accidentally conducts incursion into Mexico. Senator Slotkin joins me to talk about intelligence agencies conducting operations on American soil and to respond to Trump's calls to execute her. A major news update:

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

“Under the guise of getting the federal government out of education and parental rights, Trump’s plan . . . creates needless opportunities for the further enrichment of the wealthy, and drastically cuts support for public education.” www.thebulwark.com/p/the-republ...

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk? But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession. But that's just me

By 2026, 23,500 Guard troops will drill in crowd control. Trump once praised China’s deadly “strength.” History now asks what happens when that version of "strength" turns inward. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/pentagon-o...

A reminder: Tariffs are a regressive tax. The anti-Robin Hood. Trump's current tariff settings effectively impose a tax rate on low-income households that's roughly TRIPLE that on high-income folks. That's not the way taxes are supposed to work. [source: budgetlab.yale.edu/research/sta...

There's a lot about this that's fucked up, but moving children's education to the Labor Department underscores such a warped idea of what education is actually for www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Some of the responsibilities the administration aims to move were explicitly assigned to the U.S. Education Department by Congress, raising questions about the legality of these changes. n.pr/47KSHp6

Trump & McMahon are lawlessly trying to abolish the Department of Education & tear down public education in America. They know how unpopular this plan is—that's why despite Republican majorities in Congress, they're choosing to do this ILLEGALLY.

Trump says he will sell our most advanced fighter jets to the Saudis, who US intelligence says killed journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018. Looks like Saudi Arabia’s billion-dollar business deals with the Trump family are paying off. This is outrageous.

I will not be buying any World Cup tickets or merchandise due to FIFA’s collaboration with the Trump regime. Gianni Infantino has a dictator fetish. It’s grotesque.

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

“The rise will be led by the West South Central region, which includes Texas, as electricity demand from data centers and cryptocurrency mining facilities in that region increases… On Friday, Google announced plans to add $40 billion more of data centers in Texas through 2027.”

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

BREAKING: Donald Trump has just disclosed new trades. He bought at least $20 million in bonds and at least $1 million in the bond ETF $SPHY.

Before anyone gets too carried away here.

The most consistent theme of the Trump presidency is using the power of the state to reward allies and harm enemies. -Pardons for allies -DOJ drops charges against allies, brings charges against enemies -Merger requests accepted for allies, denied for enemies -Grants awarded for allies, denied and

Trump’s America.
