Documents Reveal a Web of Financial Ties Between Trump Officials and the Industries They Help Regulate ProPublica is releasing a trove of disclosure records that detail the finances of more than 1,500 Trump appointees, including former lobbyists, industry executives and at least a dozen officials who d...

This story cannot keep flying under the radar.

A ProPublica investigation uncovered hundreds of millions of dollars in financial ties between Trump officials and the industries they are supposed to regulate.

That is not just a conflict of interest. It is corruption, plain and simple.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Who is Monica Crowley and why does it matter what she thinks about this?

Because its actually not legal.

Texans: After nearly three decades in charge, “we can fix it” sounds like a confession.

The world is watching!

When a nation cages children, strips rights, silences dissent & weaponizes poverty, the world doesn’t call it leadership!

It calls it Crimes Against Humanity!

Survivors demand Justice! Children deserve to be Safe!

No surprise.

So infuriating.

📆 January 31, 2025
📣 Say Their Names
📍 Trump Tower, NYC

Today, Rise and Resist shut down Trump Tower today. We read aloud, all of the names of the people killed by I.C.E., or who died while in I.C.E. custody since January, 2026.

Minneapolis should press its momentum and demand not only withdrawal but start talking about the need for immediate reparations, loudly, with the total certainty that only winners have. "You have wronged us terribly and must pay recompense" and let them argue the second part.

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!”

So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it

(H/T longtimehistory)

Graham wants to keep his multimillion dollar taxpayer payout

Trump and Homan telling Minnesota they’ll pull out when they cooperate is the same as Trump and Putin telling Zelenskyy that the war will end as soon as Ukraine quits fighting, which is the same as Trump telling a women she won’t get hurt if she just complies.

Trump is a predator.

How legacy media fell for Trump’s fake “pivot” in Minnesota No, Trump did not "change course."

After Alex Pretti was fatally shot by federal officers, legacy media outlets reported that Trump made significant changes to his immigration crackdown in Minnesota.

But what, exactly, has changed about Trump’s policy in Minnesota?

Tomorrow, the Democratic Party of Evanston members will vote to endorse candidates.

Unfortunately, the DPOE misrepresented us on the ballot, didn’t tell us, and still has not issued a formal correction.

So we’re doing it ourselves:

Gov. Sherrill: Trump has the "reverse Midas touch"—everything he touches turns to crap. Amid an affordability crisis, he’s deploying ICE raids against our states. In record time, he’s turned a safe country into one where the federal government is actively attacking its people.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

The people armed to the teeth are accusing the people with whistles of violence and it’s fucking madness.

Health subsidies expire, launching millions of Americans into 2026 with steep insurance hikes The arrival of the New Year’s Day deadline with no fix from Congress cemented higher health costs for millions of Americans, including many self-employed workers, small business owners, farme…

On average, the more than 20 million subsidized enrollees in the Affordable Care Act program are seeing their premium costs rise by 114% in 2026, according to an analysis by the health care research nonprofit KFF.

John Roberts and the Cynical Cult of Federalist No. 70 Alexander Hamilton’s treatise on executive power is one of the conservative legal movement’s favorite texts to quote—and misquote.

There is, obviously, no “Presidential Immunity Clause” in the Constitution. The conservative justices’ un-originalist efforts to imagine one into it cannot be supported by text or history. trib.al/gcWulzo

The Montgomery Bus Boycott is marking its 70th anniversary. For 381 days, an estimated 40,000 Black Alabama residents stayed off city buses. Today, young people use social media and their spending power to make their voices heard.

Abolish ICE should be a lead slogan for the Democrats. We need to get the old people out of leadership positions. #abolishICE
