The media’s failure to cover Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner’s ongoing conflicts of interest as he gets billions from the Middle East while being Trump’s negotiator is insane.
(Especially after what they did with Hunter Biden)

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.
ProPublica obtained a vast cache of IRS information showing how billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk pay little in income tax compared to their massive wealth — sometimes, even nothing.

Is there anyone in Trump’s orbit that hasn’t taken Russian money?
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
Amid the ongoing U.S. war against Iran, President Donald Trump has considered awarding himself the Medal of Honor, the most prestigious military award issued by the U.S. government, White House insiders claimed in a report published Saturday evening in the Wall Street Journal.
Trump is reported close to a "deal" with himself under which US taxpayers would pay him $10 billion.
I served in multiple communist and authoritarian dictatorships, but I never witnessed corruption on this scale or this blatant.

If you have a chance to embarrass a republican, there are so many deeply moral issues you could call them on. But if you just want to twist them up, ask him why they help TurboTax put a tax on us filing taxes. Why did they kill direct file?
BREAKING: Maryland is about to become the first state in the nation to ban the use of surveillance data and dynamic pricing at grocery stores.
The Maryland House has just passed the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act.
Governor Wes Moore plans to sign the bill.
They’ve given up on any pretense of truth.
The corruption is so complete that the GOP has gotten lazy and arrogant with their telling of lies and deception.
When the lies are this obvious, you know how deep the rot goes.
Do they want us to have a national conversation about how fucked up it is that a retiree with 10 grandkids has to work as a door dasher to use tips to pay for her husband’s cancer treatment?
Does door dash even pay her a living wage or give her health care? No.
This is not a feel-good story!!

Workers suspected of smuggling drugs into Ohio prisons are seldom charged. Many often resign. Some are fired, but most never face prosecution, according to our yearlong investigation.
The lack of accountability has allowed a multimillion-dollar underground economy to flourish:
🧵 "The Department of the Interior has reportedly diverted $100 million in taxpayer funds—without congressional approval—from a nonpartisan public entity intended to pay for the celebration to a private organization controlled by Trump loyalists called Freedom 250.

My favorite version of this Bridgerton dance trend. This dog is a natural!
I did not know about this kind of insidious pricing. Thank you for highlighting it!

Yesterday, the most corrupt regime of our lifetime orchestrated a massive market manipulation scheme.
Insane bets were placed minutes BEFORE Trump’s false claim of negotiations with Iran, raking in billions.
Mainstream media and the SEC will largely ignore it.
Somebody is making a fortune on the war with inside information and it is grotesquely corrupt.
When I realized many years ago that Scalia, revered by conservatives as an intellect on the level of Da Vinci or Einstein, was formulating his legal arguments by listening to right-wing talk radio like Limbaugh and Bennett, it was a real scales-fall-from-the-eyes moment. These guys are just hacks.
again I point out how strange it is that high-level diplomatic negotiations of war and peace are being conducted by freelancers Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, both of whom have egregious conflicts of interest, and not the actual secretary of state
a chocolate lab puppy does his best impression of sitting in a grassy lawn. his butt is down, but his hind legs are extended fully out in front. one of his front paws is standing on his tail. his chubby pink puppy tummy paunches out in a few wrinkles. his eyebrows are raised in concern over his grayish eyes. in the background, an elder statesman yellow lab looks on with mild disapproval.
This is Breuer. He's here to let you know it's National Puppy Day. Doesn't know what that means but hopes it involves snacks. 12/10 (IG: chasenbreulabradors)

Foreign food safety inspections have hit a historic low after Trump staffing cuts. The dramatic shift in oversight comes as the U.S. has never been more reliant on foreign food.
“It’s only a matter of time before people die,” one expert said.

NEW: President Trump makes four false claims in a 43-word post about Tina Peters.
Peters is 70 (not 73), does not have cancer, was sentenced by a judge in Mesa County (not the Governor), and did not expose fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
