Trump’s settlement is so effing ridiculous.
Republicans in Congress are enabling historic levels of corruption, graft, and greed as Trump steals hundreds of millions of dollars from our nation.

This is how authoritarian narratives work you smear the victim, praise the armed agent, and ignore the killing. No video justifies an execution. No insult erases due process. This is propaganda, not accountability.

I really try to keep an even keel, and self-regulate because it’s the only way to be in this for the long haul, but sometimes the fury overtakes you for a bit.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.
They are in charge.

During his first term, Trump owned and profited from Trump-branded hotels, including one located just blocks from the WH, where companies and foreign governments lined his pockets.
It was an unprecedented level of presidential corruption. And it seems quaint compared to what’s happening right now.

Your daily reminder that it is our judicial system that decides if someone is a criminal, not the criminal President or his minions in the executive branch.

Goldman: "The notion that bc he won an election that he should be able to ignore the Constitution or violate our laws is preposterous. Every president wins an election. That does not mean they get to just make up whatever laws they want ... Donald Trump does not get to decide what the law is."

Newsom: In 2023, Californians contributed $83.1 billion more to the federal government than we received back.
And for your viewers: that other state—Texas—took $71.1 billion more than it contributed to the federal government. California: $83 billion, contributor. Texas: taker.

Snake oil peddling quack says he will have the answer to what causes autism by September. Using a “massive testing and research effort” he'll look into already debunked theories on links between vaccines and autism. This guy doesn’t know a q-tip from a nasal swab. We await the protocol with interest

Despicable trash
Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country.
All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.
