I’d note this is a trick Trump learned at the very start of his second term: Using frivolous lawsuits with no chance of success as a mechanism to solicit bribes from companied that quickly “settle” to curry favor.

I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

These are the people getting our tax dollars — how is this OK?!

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

MAGA social media outlets are filled with seemingly professional media content, almost all of which is generated by a handful of disinformation labs located in s 5 square mile area of St Petersburg, Russia. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

If you're opposed to this explain why.

This is outright theft from the U.S. Treasury by MAGA fascist criminals.

the president of the united states sued his own government for ten billion dollars and “settled” it by directing that government to use taxpayer money for a nearly two billion dollar slush fund to distribute to his political allies at will typing it out barely feels real

“.. We spotted nine Polymarket accounts .. who made collectively $2.4 million betting almost exclusively on U.S. Military operations. .. “.. Now, here is the crazy part. 98% win rates.” @mediaite.com www.mediaite.com/media/news/6...

Trump systematically denies disaster relief funds to any state that voted against him.

Straight-up admitting it’s all for show. Unbelievable stuff.

It is literally in your purview. It is one of the most important functions of you purview. It is a constitutionally-mandated function of your purview.

incredibly depressing that the reimposition of jim crow districts across the entire south is getting nothing more than generic horse race coverage

Can you imagine writing an article that contains this information and not including some context or outrage? Like that this would be the most epic act of corruption in US history? Like how this is an example of the DOJ being Trump's law firm? www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/b...

@jaredhuffman.bsky.social is great as always, and Burgum is just spewing words. But it's worth noting that you can't run a coal plant reliably without energy storage. AKA, a 3 - 5 day coal pile. Gas and oil plants also have on-site energy storage.

Rep. Simon warns Republican gerrymandering after the Supreme Court’s Voting Rights Act ruling is “taking us back to a Jim Crow America.” “That’s not hyperbole. That’s real.” "One of the legacies of the Republican Party over the last 70 years will be racism and white supremacy."

Rep. Mike Lawler on Rand Paul’s son drunkenly confronting him at a DC bar with an antisemitic and anti-gay tirade

William Paul, the son of Sen. Rand Paul, drunkenly hurled antisemitic insults at Republican Rep. Mike Lawler at a Capitol Hill bar “Do you think I’m Jewish?” Lawler asked. “I’m not.” “Oh wow, I’m so sorry for calling you a Jew,” Paul said.

The only thing I have to say is volunteer. It doesn’t matter what you do, it matters that you do something.

Trump’s kids turned Fox News’ bullshit smears about the “Biden Crime Family” into a business plan. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

@fotmob.com PLEASE will you include the VAR, not just the head ref in EPL matches. PGMOL has such a huge impact on results in that league. Thank you.

Trump describes the White House as a "shit house" when he moved in and then adds, "the big thing is we're building a ballroom in the back"

last year, the Supreme Court--with Alito writing for the majority--ruled that Texas could use unconstitutional, racially discriminatory districts because courts should "not alter election rules on the even of an election." Now, Alito has ruled to stop an election IN PROGRESS to benefit Republicans.

Slightly increase a band "It goes to 12."

Are Tottenham the most penalised team by referees in the Premier League?

She had a green card. She was not "undocumented." We are murdering people in concentration camps. Here. Now.

Peter Schmeichel “Arsenal have been blocking the opponent’s goalkeeper all season long, they would NEVER be on top of the league if we disallow these goals"

Two-handed shove on Vic? He should be stronger. Raya flaps at a ball while being lightly brushed? Foul. So glad that VAR has got rid of refereeing inconsistencies.

Doctors say that fluoride helps build strong teeth. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and takes raccoon penises home for “further study” says it causes autism. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Historic photo taking of @justinjpearson.bsky.social being denied access to a meeting of a black district. It doesn’t matter your race or your state. This is everyone’s fight!

The more things change The more they stay the same.

And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. 1/

Remember during the election when Trump said, “In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.” He fucking meant it

“We’ve just pushed 4.5 million people further into poverty. Congrats to us”

1/ Tear gas was created to incapacitate grown men. So when I started seeing reports of kids hurt by tear gas deployed by federal immigration agents, I wondered how often it was happening. My colleagues and I started to count:

Multiple women serving sentences for nonviolent crimes at the minimum security prison where Ghislaine Maxwell is now serving time were punished for speaking to reporters about the special treatment Maxwell receives. At least two women were transferred to higher security facilities as punishment.

I’m never not going to watch this video when it pops up.

FYI: It costs only about 3% of face value to buy a futures contract. That means that a $28 million investment paid over $125 million in profit in just 70 minutes. 500%+ in 70 minutes. That's why Trump makes he bogus announcements; so his buddies can reap illegal profits like that.

I am really struggling to understand the Bert Callais news as anything other than evidence of how the Big Lie ideology has fully taken root. It is no accident that he was at J6, just like it is no accident that the justice writing the opinion flew an upside-down flag that day
