The heart of our constitutional crisis in one exchange between me and Sec. Mullin. When asked a simple question - if he will obey court orders - he says he will not because some court orders are "politicized". That's not how democracy works. And that's why we are in a crisis.

WOW. So Blanche won't rescind the tax immunity. Was the entire charade just a cover to grant Trump tax immunity? Blanche claims that part of the "settlement" still stands. This is somehow MORE CORRUPT.

the current director of national intelligence is a guy who two years ago received a trophy declaring he “Fucks Only The Young” at an (oddly dildo focused) event he organized dedicated to the conspiracy that Bed Bath and Beyond never actually went bankrupt

wtf did i just read, am i having a stroke

Congressional statute: "There is a Director of National Intelligence who shall be appointed by the President ... Any individual nominated for appointment as Director of National Intelligence shall have extensive national security expertise." 50 U.S. Code § 3023

It’s publication day for my new book, The Fix. You can find it here. www.barbaramcquade.com

I’m so sick of this career criminal.

“Very boring.” @cnbc.com www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/u...

“Everything costs more and that’s a good thing” is a CRAZY economic message from the White House

FYI this is the test Trump is bragging about “acing” 4 times It’s a fucking embarrassment that his handlers are still letting him gloat about this like it’s some extreme act of intellect

Trump took another cognitive/dementia test at Walter Reed. They don’t just give these things out for fun, and it’s definitely not normal to take them several times a year if there’s no concern. He was also seen by 22 specialists and got a chest CT. And they released the results 11 pm Friday. 🤔

My friend @barbmcquade.bsky.social has written a new book that will be released this coming week. It’s called The Fix and it comes out on June 2. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

NEW: The USPS is moving forward with Trump's restrictions on mail-in voting. They'll only send ballots to people on Trump's federal list of voters. A judge just ruled it was too soon to bar this, but maybe now the parties have standing. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

🚨 “THEY’RE ATTACKING PROTESTERS… FOR NO REASON AT ALL.” 🚨 Pepper spray is now being deployed during chaotic clashes between ICE agents and protesters outside Delaney Hall ICE prison on Day 7 of the hunger/labor strike. @jordanchariton.bsky.social⬇️

Trump couldn’t buy the opening of the Strait of Hormuz for $25B, so now he’s offering $300B in reparations. Art of the deal.

It's beyond lying, beyond vulgar

Now we’re going to give Iran $300 BILLION? Hell, at this point, if they hold out another week or so, we might give them an even trillion.

“Honey, they’re hitting us.” 💔 That’s what a woman says her husband told her from inside Delaney Hall. She says detainees were beaten, gassed, and injured. Now she says they’re cleaning up the blood. Every elected official should be at Delaney Hall demanding answers RIGHT NOW. #SheShed

Follow this: First, Trump quietly buys up to $5 million of Dell stock. Then, he urges his followers to “go out and buy a Dell.” Today, his Pentagon awards a $9.7 billion deal to Dell. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Donald Trump is sending the Justice Department after a woman he raped.

i feel like this is probably the best time in recent american history to be a criminal because the justice department doesn’t give a shit, it’s too busy going through the president’s burn book www.cnn.com/2026/05/27/p...

Yeh I just watched it happen live. This is wild. The President of the United States has full blown Dementia and the nuclear codes.... oh yeh and started a War he can't escape.

Here's how the corruption works: Thursday: RJ Reynolds donates $5M to Trump Saturday: Trump invites RJR execs to Mar a Lago; execs ask to loosen regs on flavored vapes; Trump calls up RFK Jr. and tells him to change it Friday: FDA changes the policy

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America.  He embodies the broken system we’re running against. It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton

These stories are going to drive him insane, but it’s only fair that Trump’s failing health gets the same scrutiny as Biden’s did

Did they mention him hitting his wife and how he also supports other men who attack women?

I hope all of Maga goes in bigly into this fabulous 💩 youtu.be/IHD8BDFYyGI?...

As this war stumbles to a close, it is clear that the president is lost: He didn’t know what he was doing when he began it, and now he doesn’t know how to get out of it. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

We’re about to pay Iran billions of dollars to open the Strait that was open before the war, and to hand over the highly enriched uranium they didn’t have before Trump pulled out of the JCPOA. Art of the deal, baby.

Congratulations on your wedding Don Jr. Sorry for distracting your Dad with this important work.

This is why the war in Iran was always a fool’s errand. Trump was never going to commit the necessary resources to actually win it. Now, we’re apparently getting ready to leave with an emboldened Iran and a Middle East that’s in a worse position than when we started.

Trump is so far gone and so deeply protected by his bubble that I'm convinced one person yelling "SHUT THE FUCK UP, OLD MAN" to his face would make his head literally explode.

* FED'S GOOLSBEE SAYS SIGNIFICANT INFLATION PROBLEM DEVELOPING @bloomberg.com

i was asked recently if i thought clarence thomas saw himself as a villain. i said yes and this is a good example. he is totally bloodthirsty and loves the idea of the government executing people.

Yeah, it’s probably just a coincidence that Blanche represented Paul Manafort, Rudy Giuliani, Boris Epshteyn, Michael Cohen, and Donald Trump. He’s just a guy trying to do the right thing without regard to party, as long as you’re a Republican.

1/ I wrote this is a corrupt settlement, brought in a case that was due to be dismissed. You don’t have to take my word for that-lawyers at the IRS thought so too. But Trump was in both the driver’s seat & the beneficiary’s seat. That’s the very definition of kleptocracy substack.com/@joycevance/...

The podcast bros said they were supporting Trump for two reasons: He wouldn’t start any wars, and he’d release the Epstein files. Massie lost tonight for two reasons: (a) forcing the release of the Epstein files, and (b) trying to restrain Trump’s war in Iran.

Trump: We lost 13 people. In other wars, you lost hundreds of thousands of people. I get a kick when I look at somebody on television and they say, 'he's lost 13 people.'

Half the GOP is saying Israel rigged the vote against Massie and the other half is celebrating the fact that the guy who wants to hold pedophiles accountable lost. Totally normal party.

Burn the fucking shit down, Massie.

Massie is about to get even more vocal.
