“Broken down into what government finances would look like as a household budget:
“Household earns $52,446 and spends $73,378 — running a $20,932 annual deficit. Total liabilities and unfunded promises amount to $1,361,788 against just $60,554 in assets. $1.3 million in the hole.”

Lil Marco Rubio says Maduro will face justice in U.S. courts.
So in other words, foreign presidents can be held accountable for crimes in our country. But our own president cannot.
So maybe other countries should hold Trump, Rubio, & Hegseth Accountable for their war crimes if America wont🤔
(🚨) BREAKING NEWS: Trump Posts Photograph of Captured, Blindfolded, Disheveled Nicolás Maduro Aboard U.S. Helicopter Post-Kidnapping; Per Prior Trump Order, Maduro Is a Prisoner of War, Making the Photo a Violation of Geneva Convention (Article 13 of the Third Geneva Convention)
The entire world knows what this refers to
The entire world knows what Trump did
And so did Epstein, until he mysteriously died in Trump's custody
A super majority folks. Amazing.
A COMPLETE AND TOTAL REPUDIATION OF TRUMP AND MAGA
Deport this MFer.
So Trump gets DOJ to drop an obvious bribery case against Tom Homan, then fires the US Attorney who found insufficient evidence to prosecute Letitia James, then threatens to fire Pam Bondi and replace her with dunce Lindsey Halligan unless she immediately indicts his enemies.
Trump’s Border Czar Tom Homan was recorded in September 2024 accepting a bag with $50,000 in cash in an undercover F.B.I. investigation
Trump just shut down that investigation.
Yeah don’t get this at all. This highly educated but submissive “wife”. The hypocrisy.
Refuse to bring a sham criminal prosecution against a civil servant the president hates after he’s ordered you to charge her with crimes she didn’t commit and you get fired.
That’s just how a democracy works, folks.
Any MAGA wearing a TRUMP 2028 hoodie can explain it to you.
Anyone asking senators who voted to confirm the wholly anti-qualified Kash Patel how they’re feeling about their vote today?
Deeply disturbing rhetoric is spreading from influential MAGA figures (including the President of the United States and the owner of that other website). They have no idea who the shooter is, and many of these same people mocked Democrats when they were victims of political violence in the past. 1/
I have no idea who committed the atrocity at UVU today. But the two released videos so far—per multiple law enforcement analysts on multiple media outlets—suggest a professional hit.
That makes this much more complex, and far less likely to be the product of simple partisanship.
BREAKING: Australia has expelled Iran’s ambassador after evidence linked his embassy to at least two antisemitic attacks.
PM Albanese also announced the closure of Tehran’s embassy and that the Revolutionary Guards will be designated a terrorist organization.
Finally.
This is precisely how you handle a wannabe authoritarian fuckwit trying to exert power he doesn’t have
BREAKING: Hamas is attempting to prevent Gazans from leaving Gaza City, as the IDF prepares to advance.
Civilian harm isn’t a risk, as far as Hamas is concerned.
It’s their whole strategy.
NEW: Jack Smith’s lawyers write to the Office of Special Counsel to say that they’ve read news reports about an investigation into Jack Smith, but no one has actually reached out. “The predicate for this investigation is imaginary and unfounded.” 1/
"For those people out there who ... say, 'Well, I just don't like those people either' ... You could be next. ... This is not about any one individual, this is about our rights as Americans, and our right to have a justice system where choices about prosecuting are made without fear or favor."
I bet you didn’t know this? 🧐🧐🙄

Breaking News: Trump Says He Is Going to "Create" New Judgeships in DC, Officially Announcing a Policy to Stack the Courts with His Agents (e.g., his personal lawyer Emil Bove)
It’s not a crime to be homeless. Trump is a thug.
He’s preparing for the riots when they steal the 2026 midterms
A January memo from the Department of Justice
Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.
I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.
He was her boss. The power dynamic makes it impossible to be consensual and he was impeached for it. It pales in contrast to the Epstein situation but it’s still not ok.
The peoples house 🙁.
