Everything criminal trump does is a grift. His fake presidency is all about helping himself, not you.... ‘Open, Shameless Grift’: Right Before FDA Ruling on Vapes, Big Tobacco Company Gave $5 Million to a Trump Super PAC www.commondreams.org/news/trump-t...

Max: "In just the past couple of weeks, there have been three separate instances of such unfathomable corruption that any other normal presidency wouldn't have survived a single one of them, let alone all three ... historians will be writing books about this period for decades to come."

When the GOP removed any mention of Ukraine from their party platform at Trump's request at their convention in 2016, I was already sounding the call that this monster of a man was fully intending to destroy our country. #DumbFascism

Damn shame usa doesn't live in a real democracy anymore.

Maybe I am not being clear, his appointed heads of the IRS and DOJ gave him $1.7 billion slush fund after an actual judge indicated that a sitting president suing his own federal gov't may not be legal. No fucking kidding. Why I call America's brand #DumbFascism

This story can't get enough coverage. He manipulated the system he is in charge of so that he can pay J6 rioters and whatever criminals help him. Trump settled the lawsuit with the US gov't for $1.8 billion. SMH

We will have troops running checkpoints, deporting American's who "aren't the right kind of American", and have regressed into These United States, before the current Democratic leadership starts opposing the insanity.

I know the advice on how to cut down on my grocery bill is well intentioned but you've lost the plot. The problem doesn't rest with me, it's with the people deporting farm workers, implementing tariffs, and allowing monopolies within the grocery industry.

Fuck this. #fuck

- "Police reported that Johnson, 45, tried to keep the children quiet by telling them he would share millions of dollars in restitution money he expected to receive from the Trump administration in connection with his Jan. 6 case." Not just factual reporting, there is a legal record.

"If only," I said with deep sarcasm, "LLM actually worked, instead real people lost their jobs and were replaced by an idiot, who speaks real slow and doesn't understand what I am saying."

I remember, as a kid, knowing that the DOE supported educational programming, like Sesame Street, and I foolishly thought that something so good would be non-partisan... I underestimated how much the oligarchy wants a stupid population.

This is insane. The terms of DOJ's slush fund appear to transfer control of $1.8 billion beyond US government entirely. Unless I'm misreading this, that would circumvent Congress *entirely* and put the money outside of *any* constitutional and/or legal constraints ofany kind. Straight up theft.

There's been much debate over whether Trump is a dupe of America's enemies, or simply a lazy and greedy fool. Either way, the United States, and its allies, will pay a huge price for Trump's misrule, as Trump's debacle of a China "summit" demonstrated. I discuss this ongoing disaster in PN.

QUINTANILLA: According to the filings, the president has been trading some Intel in the quarter JIM CRAMER: Yeah, uh, yeah, hmm FABER: Got nothing to say? CRAMER: Uh, uh, yeah, whoa, yeah. FABER: Don't worry. We're not having technical difficulties, but we gotta go

The job of the President of the United States is to serve all the citizens, of whatever party. We don't live in that world anymore.

Israel deny they target civilians because they target civilians. Israel deny they bomb hospitals because they bomb hospitals. Israel deny they target journalists because they target journalists. Israel deny they commit genocide because they commit a genocide.

"It's hard to believe that it would take two centuries for the Lord to raise up a great man to bring that ballroom finally to stand where it needs to stand." A real thing that was said, without shame, at a Christian prayer rally.

HE WILL DESTROY THE WORLD TO PREVENT THE REAL EPSTEIN FILES FROM BEING RELEASED. BUT WE’RE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE HE IS “INNOCENT?!”

I’m spending almost $1,000 a month on groceries for 4 people. 2 of those people are children who eat breakfast and lunch at school 5 days a week. I shop at the commissary primarily. Life is entirely too expensive.

Genuinely, how can Microsoft expect to be taken seriously when they cram Copilot into every product yet Outlook still allows me to send an email signed off "Vest wishes" without flagging this as a possible typo?

If you look at all his actions and words since 2016 through the prism of helping Russia, then the seeming madness here in the states starts to make sense. #TrumpIsATraitor

The Epstein files should make us all realize, in real time, that we are not ruled by laws equally applied. We are ruled by wealth, access, and protection networks. America is a criminal syndicate. I’ll never get over it, so don’t ask me to.

Does everybody remember how the Epstein Files not being shared, at all really, was heating up and then we had a war with Iran? How many kids did Trump rape?

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

this is such a great encapsulation of what the various factions of the reactionary right want. i might add that they envision themselves as slave masters and the rest of us, in one way or another, as their slaves. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/the-vra-wa...

Trump withdrew his $10B lawsuit against the IRS because it was headed for dismissal. Instead, he reached a $1.7B settlement through the DOJ, negotiating with his own administration. He’s looting the country in broad daylight. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Not to mention that it is illegal and in normal times would be prey to a lawsuit.

critically this was the case in 1870 when the 15th amendment was ratified! there is literally no such thing as partisan gerrymandering and manipulation of voting rules in the south outside of the context of “white reactionaries want to neuter black political power”

15 years ago, if another country was making an anti-fascist group illegal and labeling it terrorist for participating in protests, we would call it what it was, bad. Now we are in bad up to our noses. Start fighting or just be a part of the fascist shit. #DumbFascism

Oddly, I am not forgetting the Epstein files. Are you?

I believe in the governing/economic ideology of syndicalism, so let me clarify on this accurate sentiment. America is a country designed to exploit and extract its wealth from cheap labor. That cheap labor went overseas, so now it's just Ponzi schemes for the shareholders. This gets worse.

And they’ll be expecting another bailout check. It can’t be said enough, how badly Trump and the Republicans are at governing. Control all branches of gov’t, still total FUBAR. Make you wonder if it’s deliberate.

Even without the full release and endless redactions of the Epstein files, we know the President raped children. It is all there in the files we can see and the court documents that have been released. He. Raped. Kids. He is a sick fuck.

“Please enjoy Colbert’s final shows,” John Oliver told viewers at the end of Sunday's 'Last Week Tonight.' “He’s the f*cking best. Good night, and good luck, motherf*ckers!” Full story: latenighter.com/news/john-ol...

I think that the Democrats often just act in a legitimizing role of the worst evil. Then I think about how that great evil may be the desire of the peasant-minded American voter.

In other great fucking news: they are bringing back serf law to better understand AI... sure bud, sure.

I am reminded that Sec. of State and former Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson once described the company as its own nation/state. The implication being that greed has no flag or loyalty. OFC Palantir is interested in the the most advanced battlefield in history. Zelensky:

I don' think that people appreciate the significance of Trump just giving huge gov't contracts to his pals with no review or without following the three bid minimum requirement for federal gov't purchase's. How much more blatant does the theft of America need to be? #DumbFascism

@raskin.house.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Find it or be replaced! @meidastouch.com

What makes trumpism so toxic is not just the lying. It is the way every lie is designed to make people more cynical, more divided, and easier to manipulate.

Here you go. From Zelenskyy’s desk.

John Oliver on the Supreme Court: "It was a 6-3 decision in the case of White People vs. Everybody — and you’ll never guess who they ruled in favor of”

I’m curious, other than on Wall St., where has the Trump Administration made our lives our futures better?

Salute to Governor Sherrill for doing everything she can to make this blatant money grab by NY and NYC more equitable. It won't be New Jersey that reaps the benefits of a World Cup being held in its already most trafficked area. Fans will pop-in, pop-out. SMH

Update on Brian Morales, the 25-year-old American citizen who was deported to Mexico after a Texas traffic stop last month, is still not home.
