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)

“Minutes after voting for $300 MILLION for private school vouchers, Senate Republicans voted to cut $43 MILLION for diapers for needy families.”😳
Welcome to @GovBillLee & the @TNGOP supermajority’s Tennessee, folks. A budget is a moral document.
Rep. @repyassansari.bsky.social: “Naked, open, brazen corruption. The Trump administration is guided and shaped by it… Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, is shaping US foreign policy while simultaneously soliciting billions from the same foreign governments he's negotiating with.“

Billie Little had worked for Thomson Reuters for about two decades. She was fired after questioning whether federal immigration agents unlawfully used their products.
LEAKED MEMOS show how Chief Justice Roberts pressured other justices to lean heavily in favor of the oil and gas industry to kneecap a major EPA climate-change regulation—even as the court’s liberal justices warned it was an unprecedented, unjustified expansion of the court’s powers. trib.al/RQMIP47
Texas redistricts without a vote, Republicans cheer.
Dems in Virginia respond by putting it UP FOR A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE, it passes, Republican cry foul.
Oh well. Good job Virginia!!
Democrats aren't winning the redistricting vote in Virginia by a landslide, but it's still a big deal. The victory in Virginia means Democrats can take the current 6D-5R map and possibly turn it into a 10D-1R edge in the November elections.

“It’s not enough to say, ‘Well, I changed my mind’ or, like, ‘Oh, this is bad. I’m out.’ It’s, like, in very small ways, but in real ways, you and me and millions of people like us are the reason this is happening right now.”

On January 6th, 2021, when Trump incited an insurrection, America's corporate leaders rushed to distance themselves from him.
Today, as Trump destroys our democracy at home and stages more coups abroad, they're sucking up to him to pad their own bottom lines.
Labor secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer is out of the White House. Is Kash Patel next?
This is what a broken healthcare system & rigged tax code looks like:
Last year, CVS paid $0 in federal income taxes, raised premiums by nearly 20%, cut over 1,800 jobs, gave its CEO $21 million & made $6.57 BILLIONS in profit.
Yes. We must tax the rich & enact Medicare for All!
Trump and Infantino are two peas in a rotten pod: They’re both greedy, corrupt international leaders who lie to get what they want, flout the rules, and gouge everyday people. trib.al/xVPHLgY

MAGA Sycophant Elise Stefanik says that college students chanting "from the river to the sea" is an open call for genocide against Jewish people, but Trump's threat that "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again," is mere diplomacy against Iranians.

This is the reason the stock market is completely disconnected from the real economy.

A cautionary tale
10 Republicans voted for the Haiti TPS bill:
Bacon NE, Carey OH, Diaz-Balart FL, Fitzpatrick PA, Gimenez FL, Lawler NY, Malliotakis NY, McCormick GA, Salazar FL, and Turner OH. (First real immigration rebuke to Trump from the 119th Congress.)
Just a reminder, this is what the House Ethics Committee is investigating re: Rep. Cory Mills R-FL
Don't let anyone tell you that an area is too red or too far out of reach for our message.
Just look at how many people turned out on a Saturday night in April, in a gym in Oklahoma.
I don't think I'll ever get over Clarence Thomas ruling on cases related to Jan 6 knowing that his wife was an active participant in the attempted coup.
Or ruling on cases related to government regulations and a wealth tax knowing he took gifts from billionaires.
It's a disgrace.
