Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends. He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission. Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?

This account remains one of the few good & pure things left on the internet.

This video makes an important point: That democracy, one of the most sacred of all modern values, that’s done so much for humanity, isn’t even mentioned in the doctrines of ANY religion. Think about that. Are Atheists more Moral than Religious People?

I always knew there were thieves and racists in this country, but I never imagined that tens of millions of people would endorse this level of criminality and indecency under the name of the party of Lincoln. I'm over my shock now. Time to defeat the fascist Republicans.

Just reiterating that Trump suing the IRS in order to extract a deal essentially protecting him and his family from ever having to pay taxes again is the kind of thing that should send many people to prison. People swing from lampposts for that kind of corruption. It cannot be allowed to stand.

oh my god

This is the same person who tried to weaponize mortgage information to go after the President’s enemies. This man has no business being anywhere near our national intelligence and security agencies. ⬇️

I know nothing matters any more. But this one should matter.

ok sure www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

you run into a college buddy at LaGuardia by "happenstance." You do not enter the United States Capitol through a broken window while wielding a metal pole by "happenstance."

C O V E R U P #Epstein

It's not a good sign for your democracy when the attorney general is "not committing to doing anything in writing."

There's a club, kids. Never doubt it.

You sound unhinged if you say it out loud, but the acting Attorney General directed the IRS to stop all ongoing audits of Trump, but we know from leaked tax returns that Trump owes more than $100 million in unpaid taxes, so Trump is basically just giving himself a free hundred plus million dollars.

POLL INFORMATION!

Wow. Watch the fascism of the Epstein class work

Rep. Madeleine Dean: "What is true is that the president has lied about being on Epstein's plane, and the unredacted files prove that. There's a lot in here. It's all covered up."

It is an illegal "agreement." It will be...must be...challenged and undone in court. It is profoundly corrupt...even moreso than the "slush fund" they killed. (Which frankly, I think they sacrificed in the hopes of keeping this act of criminal collusion alive.)

The era of smooth-groined politicians is coming to an end.

I’m sorry, I thought this was America!

'Powder keg': New fuel supply figure has top oil analyst sounding the alarm www.rawstory.com/oil-26769876...

Agreed. We wouldn't be dealing with all the nonsense had the press properly covered Trump from day one.

I know I'm a broken record, but Trump *not* releasing his taxes as he promised and the IRS *not* auditing his taxes every year and releasing the results like they have for every goddamn president for forty years is the actual scandal. This won't outlast his term and should be fought right now

This is just a test. If you see this, please "like" it.

I like this ad a lot—smart, fun, funny, fearless, and very Nebraskan—by Dan Osborn, the terrific candidate for U.S. Senate. Who lives in my hometown and who `I’m happily supporting. And who really could win. osbornforsenate.com

I've always thought my obfuscation by the bluesky "algorithm" was a burden. I now realize it's a freedom! Fuck cats! Cats suck! Don't send me any pictures of your goddam cats! Your cats want to eat you!

I honestly believe this admin is *hoping* for a terrorist attack to both rally around the flag and have a pretext for domestic crackdowns leading into the midterms. No other explanation for this insanity.

The Pentagon has appointed a former Citadel cadet and J6 convict to one of the most sensitive top-secret posts in the DoD. He has none of the relevant experience that would make him eligible for the 40-person team. wapo.st/437arYG

Is the president of the United States a closet gambling addict, hooked on stocks? Is Trump totally bored with the White House except for trading stocks, posting 2.m. memes, and watching snuff videos of boats getting blown up? I explore in today's newsletter www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

50% of literally everything at "The Citadel" cosplay pseudo-military academy is named after my great grandfather. If you have questions, I'm here for them.

The nastiest, meanest, and most hypocritical creeps I’ve ever known almost always wore faith like a costume. I don’t think all believers are bad people, but I do think most bad people are—or pretend to be—true believers.

The November election was the final battle of World Information War I. America lost (after barely defending ourselves) to a coalition of oligarchs, neo-confederates, and neo-nazis, and is now under a malevolent occupation government. This is the framing with the most explanatory power.

She's part of the neo-confederate branch. She's a HS drop-out and the first female graduate of The Citadel, a cosplay military academy with no actual connection to the real ones that was founded to frighten slaves into not revolting in slave-port Charleston. bsky.app/profile/airb...

The national inflation rate has shot up from 2.4 to 3.8 over the first four months of the year, so no, that doesn't seem to be "a deep, downward dive"

Jeez! Okay, who is keeping the list of things we have to fix when the orange menace is gone?

We sort of "knew" this but now we *know* it. It's just staggeringly grotesque to imagine that much world-warping power, and the compulsion to use it, to punish a child he didn't even parent. This is genuinely comic book super-villain scale bile.

The building that houses the agency responsible for containing the spread of invasive pests in the United States has a bed bug infestation

Jake Tapper is going after Jill Biden because Jake Tapper is a pussy who will happily attack a woman while being too afraid to criticize Trump. Jake is a bitch.

again, Platner's grandfather is the architect who designed the "Windows on the World" restaurant in DC, his dad gave him $200,000 as a deposit for his house, and his oyster business sells primarily to his mom's three restaurants. gender makes people absolute fucking suckers.

These fascists are really going for it, aren't they?

This is the most racist thing I've ever posted and I don't fucking care. (Partly because I'm partly *ew.)

among the top 5 challenges of 2020s american politics is to get shitforbrains older liberals to stop giving money to this terrible newspaper

This is, literally, a white immigrant preference program. So much for being "color blind."

A frontrunner for a gubernatorial nomination was asked "Is that the only person you've ever killed?" and had to pause for 30 seconds before a hemming and hawing dodge. "Does it matter?" If you murdered someone? Yes?

The new director of national intelligence is the guy in the filthy Elmo costume on Times Square who frottaged you on New Years Eve until the police arrived. What are you going to do about it?

wtf did i just read, am i having a stroke

Roosevelt High School students and staff bravely stood up to ICE on behalf of their neighbors during "Operation Metro Surge." I was my honor to present them with a Congressional Record recognizing their incredible courage and resilience. 💙

Chris Murphy asks Markwayne Mullin about letters sent from 300 detainees about conditions at Delaney Hall, complaints Mullin has dismissed about being about "ethnic food." Mullin answers by talking about "health inspections," which as Murphy notes is not the same thing.

This is outrageous!! Boutros says if grand jurors had opinions about ICE because of what they've seen on "TikTok and Instagram" and they "can't set aside your personal emotions" then "raise your hand and identify yourself, because we have a different procedure for that." What the fuck?
