Twilight Zone-“The Encounter” 1964
This is amazing.
Liz Oyer (former pardon attorney who Trump had fired) is not happy and has called out Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyer David Markus for gaslighting and she’s not letting it slide.

I had the opportunity to confront Pete Hegseth's bigoted spiritual mentor, Pastor Doug Wilson, and call him out on his history of hate, his misreading of the Bible, his hijacking of Jesus, and his cosplay Crusading.
It was worth it.
Billions in foreign real estate deals while serving as head of state.
Billions in crypto deals while gutting regulation of the industry.
Suing his own government and negotiating a settlement funded by the taxpayers.
We're so numb to Trump grifting off the presidency that hardly anyone notices.
The IRS thing is truly nauseating. If it goes through as is, I’d want all of it to be treated as something like treason to the country, for everyone involved. It’s beyond corruption, it’s literally looting and to levels unimaginable.
Falsely claiming military merit deserving of such award seems like the epitome of “stolen valor.”

Dumb. Deficient. Deplorable. Disastrous.
Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"
For last night wife is away cooked Kimchi jiggae for kid1 and kid2. With rice, of course, and a quick Korean cucumber salad. Very satisfying. Cooked lots because the flavors intensify the next day so leftovers are great. Used a combo of recipes—this one /1 www.maangchi.com/recipe/kimch...
I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.
WE Pay for
Trump is acting here as a private citizen while exploiting the office to unofficially coerce govt institutions into giving him and his family obscene amounts of American taxpayer cash.
'Official acts' immunity will therefore not protect him for this brazen corruption.
They should all be jailed.
Rep. Jared Huffman: “If we’re honest about what’s going on, we have a madman in the White House who is running roughshod, who is running the most corrupt criminal grift in American history out of the White House.”

“Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial. Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.”
This is why we should fund science. 🧪
A democracy that can be turned into an authoritarian regime with the use of strictly, narrowly legal mechanisms is not enough. After Trump, legal and even maybe constitutional reforms become the big question:
Those seeking to make ivermectin OTC point to its winning the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2015. Yes. Ivermectin won the Nobel Prize for its role in treating onchocerciasis and elephantiasis, two parasitic diseases. Do know what else won the Nobel Prize in 2023? mRNA vaccines.
🧪Ivermectin is no match for mRNA based technology.
GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.
A lawsuit settlement by the Trump regime to pay money directly to Trump would be a looting of the U.S. Treasury.

Would you buy the debt of an insolvent company?
No. Not if you’re smart.
That’s where the country is now.
Nobody wants to buy our debt.
And that’s a big problem.
Trump has bankrupted us.

On Monday we reported on the 8 most insane fascist and antisemitic accounts JD Vance follows on X. @kylebazgo.bsky.social identified the worst of them, HowlingMutant, as Alexander Norden of NYC. He's very edgy, like posting about his sexually attraction to a pile of shoes at the Holocaust Museum.
Trump’s Freedom 250 Christian nationalist “Rededicate” event set for May 17. “Rededicating our country as One Nation under God.”
Corporate sponsors of Trump’s Freedom 250 include United Airlines.
Former sponsors Mastercard and Deloitte have apparently dropped their sponsorships.
lol Iran targeting BSky is like Ukraine disrupting a book club in Uzbekistan.
7/7. It's worth dwelling on this point. It’s hard for Americans to process that their hard right politics is in large measure a Russian and Hungarian import — intellectually and also financially. We should take advantage of the defeat of Orbán to let this basic fact sink in.

Reporting shows the Trump administration keeps using the courts to go after those who disagree with the admin, and it keeps failing.
We’re cataloging many of the administration’s retaliatory actions here: protectdemocracy.org/work/retalia...
