Unbelievable corruption right in front of our faces.

Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties

Agencies in talks with Trump, family to resolve $10B lawsuit over tax leaks President Trump and his family are suing federal agencies over leaks of their tax information. Court filings say they’re in talks to find a solution instead of heading to trial.

that beep beep beep sound you hear is the president and his family backing a truck up to the US treasury...

Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.

Told my wife to have dinner ready at 6 or I'll obliterate her entire civilization. So anyway, she now charges me a fee to use the bathroom that used to be free, and I didn't get any dinner, but I'm pretty sure I won that exchange.

I lol'd at this.😆

Melania: I never cut child in half with sword. I never do this.

The entire USA: what?

Melania: not me.

Ahh, that makes more sense.

I first started in fair tax work in 2017 because Trump was the first president since Carter to refuse to disclose his tax returns. Tax transparency is important to show possible conflicts of interest and policy and alliance motivations.

Trump's goal has always been personal profit at our expense.

Unprecedented corruption

Republican war-mongering is their worst economic policy A repeated pattern of failure

Historically, the economy does better under Democratic presidents than Republican ones.

A major reason is that the GOP’s business-friendly outlook is undermined by its habit of launching wars that wreck global energy markets.

It’s hard to overstate how much of this moment is driven by people who got a taste of accountability and were very, very mad about it.

I’m still in awe over all the dumb fuck law firms, tv networks, and universities that caved to Trump.

More or less everyone who has stood up to Trump has won and everyone who didn’t has suffered an endless series of humiliations.

Like… We cannot go ahead and have the World Cup now like nothing is going on. Regardless of what does or doesn’t happen tonight. Countries should simply refuse to send teams. The rest of the world cannot treat us as a remotely normal country after this

Trump says ‘a whole civilisation will die tonight’ if Iran does not make a deal – Middle East crisis live The US president once again warned Iran to make a deal to avert threat of massive attacks

Not content with war crimes threats, Trump tries on a genocide threat for size. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

The DOJ Misled a Judge About How It’s Using Voter Roll Data The acting head of the DOJ’s voting section told a judge last week that the agency had not touched the nonpublic voter roll data it has collected. That wasn’t true.

I feel like “the world passed peak gas-powered car sales in 2017” is not a widely known fact

"Under Bondi, in the first six months of Trump’s administration, DOJ quietly closed more than 23,000 criminal cases, abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, fraud, and drugs..."

It's been more than 5 hours since Iran released pictures of the debris of a US fighter jet, apparently an F-15 out of Lekenheath downed over central Iran, and still no comment out of CENTCOM. You can't do war comms like this in 2026.

Oh, well, in that case

You can see pretty clearly when the President decided to reassure a worried nation.
