Newly released documents show Trump administration set up a legal framework allowing hundreds of millions of dollars in anonymous private donations to fund a planned White House ballroom, while limiting scope of federal conflict-of-interest reviews tied to project.

been saying this since the first trump presidency;
Trump’s energy secretary just admitted gas prices may stay above $3 until 2027.
Americans are paying the price for Trump’s reckless war with Iran. It must end.
This is what democracy looks like.
Thank you to all the protestors.

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.
Trump has destroyed federal guardrails meant to ensure secure and fair elections.
Some fear his actions are aimed at making sure the upcoming midterms go his way.
GOP men have been waging war on women’s rights & freedoms for decades++, the latest assault is the Save Act stealing your right to vote & South Carolina’s near total ban on a woman’s bodily autonomy.
Had enough yet, ladies?
Pick yourselves up & fight back!

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.
Pope Leo:
Boom! We just crossed 2,600 letters sent from constituents to their representatives on our brand new campaign to save the US Forest Service. This is huge! 💥
Have you sent yours yet? If not, do it here!
I’m surprised a poll is needed.
Remember this fuck when his name comes on the ballot.
“May the spirits of all the multitudes who gave their lives for this country rise up in final judgment to crush him and his cult of criminal accomplices before that fateful day arrives.”
When fools rise to power, wisdom becomes a liability. (AI)
Former UN Ambassador Rice:
"The U.S. is systematically weakening itself across all 5 pillars of global power—
Military: increased spending without modernization, depleted weapons stockpiles, politicized purges of experienced officers/generals, weakened legal/military norms, and a costly Iran 🇮🇷 1/7
4/ "The administration could try to use [the designations] to expand the powers of the government to surveil, investigate and prosecute left-wing activists on American soil."

From stolen valor to a restraining order, read our investigation into Cory Mills, perhaps the most hated man in Congress.
“I wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire.”
Republicans should out Mike Johnson asap. No need to wait until there is a full economic and war fallout. Do it now to rein in their leader before he takes the country down with him.
What was this about?
Peter Magyar confirmed that Szijjarto, Orbán's FM, has barricaded himself with some of his closest colleagues and is shredding documents related to the sanctions on Russia any other evidence of treason.
Why doesn’t this article mention they are going to take care of this in the United States? There’s still child marriage in 34 states.
It’s absolutely alarming. Everyone should be demanding a bipartisan evaluation of his mental state.
Somehow, Lee Zeldin hasn’t been perceived as an extremist. trib.al/5e5NUml
Yet, he's cut billions from Biden-era climate grants, eviscerated pollution rules and enforcement capacity, and completely wiped out the legal basis of much climate regulation: the 2009 greenhouse gas endangerment finding.
🧵 When Trump altered an official weather map with a Sharpie in 2019, some laughed it off. I was alarmed, seeing it as a combination of dishonesty and derangement. Since then I’ve begged major media to write about Trump’s mental unfitness. Instead they’ve pretended the crazy uncle wasn’t crazy. 1/🧵
Comply delusional.
He is completely bonkers.
Just a deranged old man
Regret to inform everyone that Peter Magyar beat the world’s smartest illiberal populist in large measure by working incredibly hard for 2 straight years, meaning the rest of us are just going to have to get off our asses and do shit rather than just complaining.
They are 100% looking to blame Vance.
It’s like running a business. You have to get in there, pull up your sleeves and work, but this dipshit is too busy looking for attention. Iran negotiations are dead and Vance is now to blame. He was a failed businessman and now a failed politician.
