"The White House doesn't want history at the Smithsonian. It wants fandom." [email protected] That succinct formulation nails it. Toxic fandom.

ICE's Office of Professional Responsibility—which has apparently switched from serving as an internal watchdog to targeting online critics–has tried to get people who posted criticisms of ICE to sign a "Warning Notice" admitting their posts were unlawful.

Tech executives have warned AI could funnel enormous wealth to a handful of people and create a “permanent underclass.” Why should Big Tech get all the profits while we pay the costs? It’s time to tax AI.

Trump says the referee was "a little bit suspect." Hmm. Did he ever make a bunch of stock trades the day before he announced a major change in economic policy? Was he ever found liable for sexual abuse? Has he ever been convicted of 34 felonies? Did he ever file multiple bankruptcies?

“What kind of man would cheat at this golf?” 😂

In 2024, ProPublica and @documented.net obtained 14+ hours of videos from Project 2025’s Presidential Administration Academy, intended to train the next conservative administration’s political appointees “to be ready on day one.” Check to see how Trump 2.0 is deploying this playbook:

A year ago, Donald Trump signed a bill to slash health care for millions of Americans, including children. Here’s how many kids have lost Medicaid and CHIP because of Donald Trump so far. Alabama: 5,663 kids Alaska: 12,388 kids Arizona: 74,680 kids Arkansas: 10,523 kids

Someone recommended I write a clearer thread for the GFM (to help people understand why I'm sick/stressed/the need), so I hope all of you don't mind the additional context. *trigger warning, mentions of abuse* In February 2025, I was violently attacked by an ex. He was 440 pounds, I was 137.

Donald Trump is a scammer.

The DOJ was conducting a criminal investigation of Abbott Laboratories over the deaths of two infants that were suspected to be caused by baby formula contaminated with bacteria. Then Trump was elected, so instead of criminal charges Abbott now gets a settlement.

Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.

Texas is poised to lead the nation in power plants to fuel data centers, according to a new report from an environmental watchdog group. The report warns the plants could emit tons of greenhouse gases and air pollution, causing significant climate impacts and health risks. bit.ly/4auZ9S2

Theodore Roosevelt protected swathes of land, while Trump has lifted them from more than 86m acres

Sarah Matthews reacts to Trump’s financial disclosure showing he made $2.2B in income in 2025, mostly via crypto, while millions of Americans are struggling to make ends meet.

It is crazy that ANY Supreme Court justice voted to overturn birthright citizenship. This Administration's attacks on immigration and other fundamental aspects of our country highlight the massive need for Court reform. SCOTUS must be more representative of the American people.

All told, the president pulled in at least $2.2 billion in 2025, a figure that includes other parts of his vast holdings, such as his real estate assets. That compares to a minimum of $622 million his enterprises pulled in for all of 2024, before he returned to the presidency.

Trump's top pesticide policy official is Kyle Kunkler, a former pro-pesticide lobbyist. In 2020, Kunkler won a "rising star" award from the pesticide industry's trade group.

New data reveals 8 million Americans have lost their healthcare due to Trump and Republicans' cuts.

NEW: Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta — 3 tech giants driving the data center boom across the United States — avoided *$50 billion in taxes* last year. New @cplusc.bsky.social report exposes how the federal government is actively facilitating the data center contagion:

⚠️ Right-wing SCOTUS justices wrote the Republicans a playbook on how to do away with birthright citizenship using legislation, and now Trump is following it:

When he says the bipartisan housing bill is “so unimportant” compared to the voter suppression bill he means it doesn’t help him personally while the other one saves his ass

A policy expert described Education Secretary Linda McMahon’s push in favor of private schools as a “great American heist,” funneling money from public schools: “It’s a strategic theft of the future of our country, our kids and our democracy.” (Published Oct. 2025)

The Supreme Court on Monday gave the president the authority to remove the leadership of most agencies that Congress had set up to act independently of presidential control. Starting today, nine justices will decide which agency heads can be fired by the president and which cannot.

"Congenital disorders, cancers and even infectious diseases are all potential targets for the technique. But the key to such innovation is the same ingredient that made the sickle cell treatment possible: federally funded research."

‘Trump bought as much as $5 million in Axon stock before ICE sought Taser deal’ The Trump family’s corruption is broad and deep, cutting across both domestic and foreign policy. Qatar jets, pardon bribes, Saudi billions. Don’t overlook this as a major midterm issue. www.cnbc.com/2026/06/29/t...

"Speaking as an early American historian who spent decades immersed in what the founding generation thought about political power — specifically about executive power — this presidency is entirely out of bounds and beyond anything the founding folk could have conceived of." — @jbf1755.bsky.social

Two things Trump loves above all else: facades & lies about how great he is (also a facade).
