Team Trump keeps finding new ways to reward Russia:
- extended break on oil sanctions
- shrugging off evidence that Russia has helped Iran
- allowed Russia to bypass Cuban oil blockade
- vouched for Putin’s trustworthiness
And that’s just from the last couple of months.

Under most circumstances, there is nothing Trump loves more than “protracted litigation.”
If you are part of the fight against Trump fascism, you need to understand what you are up against.
And then you need to make sure your friends and followers do too.
That’s why I leave my writing open access- so you can pass on important info👇
Another way Trump screwed over American farmers…
AP: “Some American farmers bet on solar. Then Trump changed the rules”
Lee Zeldin's EPA named its new scientific advisory board today. On the list:
- 6 people from chemical, fertilizer, and oil companies
- 1 climate change skeptic
- 1 clean air skeptic
Chemours used research from one of the newly-named advisors to lobby against PFOA regulation.
I said the other day that the claim that the DoorDash grandma had saved $11,000 from the dumb, pandering “no tax on tips” policy made no sense. Yahoo Finance did the math. wealthofgeeks.com/the-white-ho...
THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS COMPLETELY OPEN AND READY FOR BUSINESS AND FULL PASSAGE, BUT THE NAVAL BLOCKADE WILL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT AS IT PERTAINS TO IRAN, ONLY, UNTIL SUCH TIME AS OUR TRANSACTION WITH IRAN IS 100% COMPLETE. THIS PROCESS SHOULD GO VERY QUICKLY IN THAT MOST OF THE POINTS ARE ALREADY NEGOTIATED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

President Trump referred this morning to "OUR TRANSACTION WITH IRAN." This is, of course, interesting because the last time the United States struck a deal with Iran involving a transaction, Republicans completely lost their minds.
Let's take a trip down memory lane. 🧵
JUST IN: Judge McElroy, a Trump appointee, continues DOJ’s unbroken losing streak in efforts to obtain state voter rolls. She calls it a “fishing expedition.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Love to see it, e.g.: @trumpaffordable.bsky.social
“Increasingly, the ballroom project has served as a springboard for Democratic attacks on a president they argue is out of touch with the concerns of regular Americans.”
BREAKING: The U.S. bishops’ Committee on Doctrine just issued a formal statement defending Pope Leo XIV's teaching authority on just war doctrine — less than twelve hours after JD Vance told a Turning Point USA crowd the pope should “be careful” talking theology.
This is a serious escalation.
When DOGE came to CFPB after shutting down USAID I immediately questioned them, their credentials, and if they had the training to access our sensitive data.
I was fired for it.
Now, I’m running for Congress, and I’m committed to investigating the damage DOGE did. Learn more at: ElectAlexis.org
The intel community has almost unimaginable powers over the American people, constrained only by laws, regulations, and principles preventing them from becoming a political weapon. The fact that the DNI spends all of her time on bottom feeder political hackery is a huge threat.
Under Bisignano’s leadership, SSA & IRS have compromised service to the public by:
🏛️Failing to fill gaps in key public-serving roles
☎️Reassigning hastily trained staff
📉 Removing customer-focused metrics from public view
🤥Misleading and exaggerating about performance and policy
Frank Bisignano is set to testify before the Senate Finance Committee Wednesday. He is simultaneously the “CEO” of IRS and Commissioner of Social Security.
During his tenure, some troubling patterns have emerged at SSA and IRS, which impact the millions of people who rely on their services. 🧵
“The least of their concerns”
Trump inherited a deal where Iran would have no “NUCLEAR,” confirmed with the most intrusive inspections in history, and he ripped it up and did a little dance because a Obama got it done. Now he’s collapsing our economy and everybody else’s because he’s a moron.

Since January, Musk has faced setbacks in cases about OpenAI allegedly stealing secrets from his xAI start-up, advertisers’ boycott of X and two suits about his 2022 takeover of the social media group, then called Twitter, including a fraud verdict that could cost him billions of dollars. The billionaire’s legal team has responded by complaining about “bias” against the world’s richest man. They have objected to a Delaware judge “liking” a LinkedIn post critical of Musk and challenged the Twitter verdict over what they called a “bizarre and highly questionable” joke involving the marijuana reference “4.20” in a jury document. As he prepares for the trial against OpenAI later this month in Oakland, California, in which Musk claims the AI start-up sold out its charitable purpose, the seemingly endless courtroom battles have exposed Musk to embarrassing questions and irked his own staff. Some lieutenants see them as a hindrance to improving performance at X and xAI and organising their merger with SpaceX ahead of its initial public offering, planning for June at a $1.75tn valuation.*

There’s not a single member of Congress who doesn’t know Trump should be impeached and removed for turning the government into a giant criminal enterprise this way. But half of them are part of it.

Thanks Trump.

The guy investigated for years for conspiring with Russia (who may have gotten not one, but TWO pardons for his ties to Russia) interceded to make sure Trump didn't fire Tulsi.
Great.
Just great.

Trump finds preparation boring and he is very lazy and risking American lives weighs on him not at all.
Trump raising your electricity bills on purpose, Episode #873
for decades. There is going to be a massive shift to solar, wind, nuclear every where else in the world and we are going to be left behind, having completely cucked our domestic renewable programs.
And the American consumer and citizen is about to have their lives altered fundamentally.
One of the most persistent myths in energy is that high-renewables grids require months or even years of backup to survive “dunkelflaute” — those rare periods of low wind and solar output.
That claim is often far more ideology than analysis.

CBS’s excuse for why it killed the investigation into CECOT was that it wasn’t original and news-distinctive enough.
