Any "extraordinarily brilliant person" would know his presidency is in free-fall after his disastrous decision to enter another endless war-of-choice in the Middle East & that on November 3rd accountability is coming for the most corrupt criminal Administration in U.S. History.

There seems to be a dispute on this.

Netanyahu would be arrested if he came to Hungary, says new PM Peter Magyar announced that he will halt Hungary’s planned withdrawal from the International Criminal Court

Magyar: ‘I believe that if the country is a member of the International Criminal Court, and a person who is wanted by the court enters our territory, then that person must be taken into custody. ‘

Trump is very jealous of dictators who can throw anyone who criticizes them in prison, and he's very angry at how hard it is for him to do the same.

The Trump administration just announced they are prosecuting civil rights groups for infiltrating and exposing the KKK and other white supremacist groups.

"Vietnam was easy to win," claims Republican Trust Fund Baby whose daddy paid a doctor to write him a note saying his tiny feet hurt, thus denying him the chance win the Vietnam War quickly. #disgraceful

Trump's latest budget is the culmination of 40 years of increasing social control in America.

Remember that over half of defense spending flows to private contractors, like the drone manufacturers Trump's sons are now major investors in.

All of this is absurd.

Your government refusing to prosecute sexual predators, but protect them instead, only makes sense when you realize your government is being run by sexual predators.

“The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant and so devastating that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored because it cannot survive their being repeated.”

Republicans have pulled their dangerous, egregious bill gutting the Endangered Species Act (ESA) from the House Floor 🎉

An on-again, off-again ceasefire at the same time as a blockade, makes perfect sense if you see it for what it is:

MARKET MANIPULATION

When a bully punches someone and is shocked when that someone punches back.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Experts say it’s highly unusual for the White House to tell agents to give up custody of potential evidence in an investigation, as it did with the Tates.

“I’ve never heard of anything like that in my 30 years working,” an ex-DHS official said.

"Whaaaaaa whaaaaaa whaaaaa! They did what *we* did. Only better. NOT FAIR!!!"

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

Scanlon Introduces Legislation to Block Dismissal of Criminal Charges Against Political Cronies

No President should be able to use the DOJ to give his supporters free passes if they commit crimes.

The DOJ's recent move to overturn convictions of leaders of the violent January 6 attack cannot go unchallenged.

I introduced the No Free Passes for Cronies Act to end this corruption.

Stop privatizing space.

Warren: "Why try to end independence of the Fed? Bc Trump's economic failures are causing him political problems, he wants the Fed to artificially juice the economy Having a sock puppet in charge of the Fed would also give the president access to the Fed's powerful authorities to enrich himself"

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.
