Trump meet rake. Thwack!

He’s willing to humiliate himself & possibly commit crimes to serve Trump just like every other sock puppet who works for Trump. 🤡

BREAKING: Republicans, furious at Democrats for doing thing they wanted to do but couldn’t do, now insist thing they wanted to do is un-American

Corruption from top to bottom. If there is a Democratic president in 2029 one of the first things that President must do is tear down the stupid ballroom if it has been built by then & also the Nazi triumphal arch.

It would have to be translated into German.

All projection & lies. All of it.

It’s a Roy Cohn move. Trump learned this intimidation tactic from him.

The Apology Trump Voters Owe the World's Children If you voted for Donald Trump, you owe America’s children an apology.

If you voted for Donald Trump, you owe an apology to every child who has to spend their formative years in an America defined by:
fear of the other,
an epidemic of cruelty,
a poverty of decency,
and a defiant resistance to diversity.

Can confirm…

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”

You gotta give to the GOP.

They trained their voters to hate “libs” so much they would gratefully accept every manner of corruption, lawlessness, cruelty, ineptitude, and criminality, and cheer it on, so long as it is their team doing it.

Of COURSE he's insider trading. He's a crook, he's ALWAYS been a crook, he's using the presidency to make billions.

He ran to stay out of jail, to make money and to feel powerful, because that's what a narcissist like him gets off on. It was never about helping people.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:

Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%

Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%

This is what a rigged system looks like.

Still too high.

Kash Yap Patel is desperate. He’ll manufacture evidence if he has to.

When evidence failed for four years, they promised “proof soon.” Now it’s arrests “maybe this week.” This isn’t law enforcement, it’s narrative management—keep the myth alive, move the goalposts, and hope repetition replaces reality. Democracy isn’t a conspiracy to be rewritten.

Yeah, when Mother Nature gets her comeuppance. That will be an excellent day. Champagne is waiting.

At a table, a Black man on the left with no cookies sits across from a white man in a hardhat on the right with a single cookie on a plate in front of him. At the head of the table (between and above them) is a bald white man in a business suit who appears to control hundreds of cookies. The business suit man is saying to the hard-hat man, "Careful, Mate. That foreigner wants your cookie!" The cartoon illustrates how the wealthy distract ordinary people from how much wealth they hoard by making us fight against each other for a small amount of resources. One could replace the word "foreigner" above with any other class of ordinary people: "Black man", "woman", "DEI hire", "leftist". Through the use of persistent, subtle propaganda, ordinary people are taught to compete against each other instead of coming together to prevent the rich from hoarding an extremely large amount of available wealth. This is a fundamental feature of modern Capitalism.

I dunno who needs to hear this, but...

We're all injured & have been for a long time.

We've been pitted against each other as a distraction by the RICH who are stealing our power.

We will ABSOLUTELY disagree on stuff.

BUT if we agree that billionaires are stealing from us, we can work together.

Harlan Crow must have whispered that in his ear as he was paying him. #OwnedByBillionaires

Good decision. Why would any respectable journalists go? Trump treats them like crap every chance he gets, especially if they’re female.

Yes and that’s what drove him to try to erase everything Obama accomplished. He never got over the jokes about him at the WH Correspondents Dinner in 2011 because he’s such a thin-skinned narcissist. He’s dying to drum up some phony charges to indict Obama. Watch.

Screenshotted excerpt from linked article reading as follows: "In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis. When colleagues warned the chief justice that he was proposing an unprecedented move, he was dismissive. “I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical,” he wrote. But he argued that the Obama plan, which aimed to regulate coal-fired plants, was “the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the power sector,” and too big, costly and consequential for the court not to act immediately."

OOP

New York Times got receipts on John Roberts being like, 'I know this isn't how anything works, but a Democratic president is about to implement a policy!!'

Market concentration → Less competition → Higher prices for consumers → Corporate profits at record highs → Record stock buybacks → Higher shareholder value → More power for corporations and the rich.

How do we fight back? Break up monopolies and rebuild union power.

A large crowd as always at the weekly march in Tbilisi. Georgians have been protesting in 8+ cities every day for the last 507 days.

Seems like the Strait of Hormuz is only open when the stock market is.

I never expect him to do anything in a competent manner because he’s a lying imbecile & everyone around him enables his imbecility. 🤡

Iranian gunboats fire on tanker in Strait of Hormuz as Iran reimposes restrictions The United States and Iran are locked in a standoff over the Strait of Hormuz. On Saturday, Iran fired on a ship trying to pass through, escalating tensions.

Once again, the president lied to move markets and investors fell for it. At some point, investors are going to be betting on phantom oil.

Ossoff: I don’t know who placed those trades, but I’ll tell you this: the SEC better find out. And if they won’t, when you elect this new majority in Congress and you give us gavels and subpoenas, we will.

And she’s way more intelligent and speaks English much better than the First Lady who came here on an Einstein visa. Or was that an Epstein visa?
