This failure coincided with his gutting of medical expertise at the HHS and CDC, and his gutting of other experts throughout the federal government.

We knew this was coming, Donnie.

I’m old enough to remember when Trump was accusing Democrats of being socialists. What do you call this? Government ownership of the means of production. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/21/b...

Ask yourself: Why would a settlement over leaked tax filings include a prohibition on examinations of previously filed returns? One answer, which lots of people are missing: For years, Trump has been fighting an IRS audit that could have resulted in a $100M bill. No longer, apparently.

Before the first Trump impeachment, I was one of several historians who updated this book, originally written for the Nixon impeachment. In case anyone thinks that Trump's second term isn't setting new records in corruption and scandal, they can consult this volume.

This happens often.

Note that Trump regularly has "acting" officials in his administration. This is no accident.

That matters because it NORMALIZES and provides legal cover for Trump colluding with DoJ and IRS to control both sides of the bogus lawsuit he filed. This is not a settlement. It’s theft. Facts matter. END/ Source: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/18/b... Source: www.wsj.com/us-news/law/... The judge:

The IRS has agreed to not audit Trump's taxes. But in 2024, a @propublica.org @nytimes.com investigation found that a long-running audit involved Trump allegedly claiming the same huge write-off twice on a Chicago tower. That audit could've led to a tax bill of $100M for Trump. (From May 2024)

JUST IN: Top-ranking Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin has moved to subpoena acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and other officials involved in the creation of "one of the most brazen acts of public corruption and self-dealing in American history." trib.al/lrUwnqu

The US and it's peer group of nutty climate deniers: Russia, Iran and Israel.

This is the essence of the shitgibbon presidency.

Congress, the ball is in your court. Pass a bill with a veto-proof majority to ban our taxpayer dollars from being spent on bogus “weaponization” claims. You control the power of the purse. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/21/u...

Will this cause the tide to turn in the middle states? Will farmers figure this out?

U.S. energy storage developers installed 9.7 gigawatt-hours of new capacity in the first quarter of 2026, marking a record high for the quarter, an industry report showed on Thursday.

Oh, Donald.

This is what the White House looks like today. This destruction and tacky chaos perfectly represents what the MAGA regime has done to the United States. Makes me sick to my stomach.

Whoa.

More fresh hell.

It never ends. Fresh he'll every day with this loser.

The lawsuit was filed by a former Capitol Police officer and a Metropolitan Police Department officer, both of whom defended against the Jan. 6 riots and later testified to Congress.

It is so hard not to hate these people.

Ugh.

Thank you for standing up to the leader of the Hate America Party, Mr. Massie.

Shapiro: Somehow, he can’t find the money to pay for healthcare, but he can steal from you to pay off the criminals who stormed the Capitol.

What you see with Trump's mass deportation and the weird pronatalist language explains the primary mission of Trump's movement, which is to maintain white political, economic, and social power in the face of a white minority in the next couple of decades. www.laura-bassett.com/p/new-term-f...

A secondary mission of Trump's political career is the massive extraction of wealth from the United States for the billionaire class.

SIGN OF THE DAY…

This is such blatant and offensive corruption. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/u...

Fetterman is such a louse.

Think of them as Donald's Wagner Group. Think of Stuart Rhodes as Donald's Yevgeny Prigozhin.

This and everything else. It's all worse than we think, and millions of Americans still don't get it.

Dear Supreme Court and Congress: Please fill in the blank. Donald Trump is exempt from laws, rules, and norms he doesn't like because _______________________________. Sincerely, Normal Americans

Honestly this story makes clear all the questions that have yet to be asked about this corrupt slush fund.

Here are some starting points! Everyone in this thread was arrested for Jan6, and pardoned by Trump for their Jan6 crimes. Kyle Andrew Grigsby of Kentucky. www.wtvq.com/578253-2/

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.

It's all so weird. It's all so stupid. It's like someone is playing the cruelest long-running prank on the world. It isn't funny.

There’s a massive immigration operation in Memphis right now, but you may not have heard about it. Why? Community members face retaliation for trying to spread the word out, a lawsuit alleges.

The hate Americans. They hate humanity. They love money.

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...

Without reading this, I would bet that any major disease outbreak in the world is at greater risk of becoming a global health emergency because of Trump, RFK Jr., and the other clowns managing health at the federal level in the United States.

Ah, yes. I also remember when my country wasn't the laughingstock of the world because of who was in the White House.

What happened? Did he get too close to the Trump vapor cloud and inhale?

Leavitt would tell us spilled blackberry jam on his hand.
