Imagine, if you will, how Fox would have reacted had Hunter Biden bragged about something like this on CNN.

I remember a whole thing around Hunter Biden selling some bad paintings.

‼️ Last night while you were sleeping, Senate Republicans passed a blank check of $70 BILLION dollars to fund ICE (with ZERO reforms added).

(1/2)

Impeach him for this.

No Schumer or Jeffries leadership.

Put bold members who will destroy Trump.

Trump fought to keep the ballroom fundraising contract secret. Here’s what’s in it. The agreement governing hundreds of millions in private donations was kept secret until a watchdog group sued and a judge ordered it disclosed.

is that bad?

"The contract provisions...allow wealthy donors with business before the federal government to contribute anonymously to a sitting president’s pet project, while exempting the White House from key conflict of interest safeguards and limiting scrutiny by Congress and the public."

This article is from last year.

RFK expects us to forget about it.

As with COVID we are watching attempts to rewrite history in front of us.

Good god the kicker:

WSJ: Republicans are worried the redistricting fight is backfiring

LOL.

If they stood up to Dear Leader these things wouldn't happen.

So they are getting everything they deserve.

Not sure how long the markets can keep waltzing past this. But diesel and jet fuel shortages mean either stuff won’t move or it’s gonna move a lot more expensively.

This is insane, tinpot authoritarian shit.

Judge dismisses Kash Patel's defamation lawsuit over claim he frequented 'nightclubs' The lawsuit against Frank Figliuzzi was dismissed a day after FBI Director Kash Patel sued The Atlantic magazine over claims he abused alcohol.

Congrats to my friend @frankfigliuzzi.bsky.social on winning defamation lawsuit brought by Kash Patel. Frank said Patel had “been visible at nightclubs" more than at FBI HQ. Patel sued Frank to intimidate others into not criticizing him. Big win Frank AND for 1st Amend!

Flu vaccine requirement discarded ‘effective immediately,’ Hegseth says The flu vaccine has been required annually for U.S. military personnel since the 1950s .

Hegseth discarded the flu vaccine mandate for military personnel b/c, he said, “your body, your faith, and your convictions are not negotiable.”

But he’s tightened grooming and appearance rules in ways that discriminate against Black, Muslim & Sikh personnel.

Do you think the Iranians realize that Trump doesn’t want to do the energy plant strikes because he knows their response will involve crippling the gulf states that pay his family?

Cancel the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Trump will be guest of honor at the “nerd prom,” with journalists serving as suck-ups

Journalists planning to honor Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner have a choice:
A. Party with the dictator, wear fancy clothes and network to boost their careers.
B. Stand up for democracy by staying home.
They’re going to choose A. It looks terrible now. It will look worse to history.

Enten: "Trump's at an all-time low on inflation across polls (-42 pt. net approval). With Independents, Trump was favored by 10 pt. vs. Harris in 2024 on inflation. His net approval now is -60 pt. That's a 70 pt. shift away from Trump.

Like, no shit. But we need more folks calling it out.

You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂

Cf. the Bezos Post, "Republicans gerrymandering in Texas is fine, actually" b/w "Democrats gerrymandering in Virginia is a threat to democracy"

From victory statement by @donscott757.bsky.social:

“This started in Texas when Trump launched an unprecedented power grab to rig the midterms and tonight Virginia voters ended it and voted YES to stop his power grab.

“We trusted the voters, not politicians."
