They lie. They cheat. They profit. I'm fighting to ban members of Congress AND the president from trading stocks, because no one should be profiting off the backs of the people they were elected to serve.

The US government was legally required to release the remaining Epstein files 168 days ago. They still have not done so.

So trump tore up Obama's deal with Iran and went to war only to end up with a deal worse than Obama's?????!! ~Covie

David Frum on Twitter: "Regular reminder that Donald Trump’s core competency is not dealmaking with powerful counter-parties. It is duping gullible victims."

long game spoilers kinda the head of the NHL is worried about how Heated Rivalry s2 will make them look bad because it deals with homophobia in the league and "that's not how I would react to the situation" you temporarily banned pride tape. the story is a direct reaction to how you run the league

Tillis: "To call Paxton 'ethically challenged' is to call Jeffrey Dahmer suffering from an eating disorder. He's gonna be an anchor on our caucus"

How is this farce of a do nothing government still going on? It's as if the system that protects incompetent white men and women in power was built to protect incompetent white men and women to stay in power.

Obviously Donald Trump is a literal madman who's as capable of doing nothing on a given weekend as starting the fifth war of his second term but it appears he's raced back to DC from his NJ golfing vacation and his golfing buddy just posted this so stay frosty for more war crimes

www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a... Knowing the Trump family values he can always just go to Jr's next one.

When politicians say they can't hold corporations accountable, remember: they can. They just choose not to.

BREAKING: The judge has DISMISSED the criminal charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia on vindictive and selective prosecution grounds! A MAJOR win for Mr. Abrego. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Maybe finish your last failed regime change war before starting a new one?

For more than a decade, Stephen Colbert has been one of the top voices of late night—making us laugh and, even more importantly, reminding us who we are and what America stands for. Michelle and I enjoyed being Stephen’s guests—even when the games were rigged—and we’re grateful to call him a friend.

The fact that Thomas Massie lost a Republican primary because he wants pedophiles to face justice tells you everything you need to know about the state of the Republican party… Full stop.

don’t know a ton about government financing. And even I know the President isn’t supposed to have tax immunity and his own government-funded slush fund. How is this happening in broad daylight?

NEW: I've filed a claim with Todd Blanche for compensation from the $1.776B slush fund for the unlawful investigation by the government into my podcast in August 2019. I'm seeking $8.647 million in compensation for weaponized lawfare - the equivalent of punitive damages, lost pay and retirement.

I created a template for a cute and paste application for reparations from Trump’s slush fund with the directions on how to apply. Go get em. open.substack.com/pub/shero/p/...

This precedent could also be applied to government officials who blow people up in boats without a declared war, due process, evidence, or trial.

Ken Paxton is one of the most corrupt people in politics. Texans should be sending him to prison — not the Senate.

People forgot what the economy was like after Covid.

VAN HOLLEN: An individual who was pardoned by Trump went on to molest 2 children, & he tried to buy their silence by saying he would give them funds from your slush fund. Can you commit to not making that person eligible for a payout? BLANCHE: You're obviously lying V: I am reporting what he said

No money for pediatric cancer research but there's $1.7 billion for people who beat cops and smeared feces on the walls of the US Capitol.

The United States government just agreed to pay $1.8 billion to the United States president, approved by the president's own personal lawyer who represented him when he was convicted of 34 criminal counts. This is the biggest scandal in all of American political history.

Who thinks the GOP is plotting their next insurrection?

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

In a sane world, we'd be discussing giving a million dollars to Jeffrey Epstein's victims and not to the traitors on January 6.

Lauren Boebert … c’mon down. You’re the next contestant on You Asked About the Epstein Files. Truly the sign of an innocent man.

The president of the United States is, mentally, eight years old.

The U.S. government requires visa applicants to make all of their social media accounts fully public or risk being denied entry. This is straight out of 1984. Your right to privacy doesn’t just disappear at the border for millions of people, it disappears before they ever set foot here.

Trump has come out against Lauren Boebert, one of his fiercest defenders. For some reason, he is really upset at the Republicans who pushed to release the Epstein files.

Just another normal day at DOJ where they have to withdraw a filing in New Hampshire that was intended for Minnesota.

The felon's plan to pay off J6 thugs is not just corruption, it is buying their action to go to the mat for him during & after the Nov election. If Dems win, thugs lose their payday. This isn't to reward them for the past, it's to pay them in advance for future violence.

“Short-term pain.” Tell that to the Uber driver who can't afford to show up to work with gas prices so high. Tell that to the retired couple who just skipped their dinner. And tell that to those who are being forced out of retirement to cover their electric bill.

Hey look if we get him on insider trading that works for me. It's a little disappointing to think they got Capone on taxes, but there are proximate considerations here.

Hey, trumpers...this is what you voted for.

Please let Congress make money trading on inside info while Americans struggle y’all

The Trump administration is forming a $1.7 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund to “compensate” January 6th insurrectionists and other Trump allies who they claim were “wrongfully targeted” by Democrats. abcnews.com/US/trump-poi...

“We live in a homophobic society…if you think there are not more gay players in the NFL, Major League Baseball, and the NBA, you’re just stupid” - Charles Barkley saying the quiet part out loud. I fuckin cried. god bless him and Jason Collins.

I’m a broken record, but it’s facially insane that the SCOTUS’s position is that the interest of a political party—an entity with no special constitutional protection—in gerrymandering is more important than black people’s right to vote, which we have several constitutional amendments addressing
