That Jeff Bezos's Amazon gave Brett Ratner, someone photographed with Jeffrey Epstein and in the Epstein Files, $75 million to make a doc about Melania Trump, while he chooses to destroy The Washington Post, says about all you need to know.
In less than a week the Kennedy Center has effectively closed and our local DC paper has been gutted, both by billionaires.
I don’t think immigrants are our problem in this country.
Let’s be clear: when the Trump administration kills or stalls energy generation projects, that’s the White House choosing to make your electricity more expensive. Americans deserve better.

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”
NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program.
This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.
Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.
Virginia’s New Governor Ends ICE Program. Local Contracts Remain, For Now. - Bolts
Abigail Spanberger left the 287(g) program, which empowered state law enforcement to detain immigrants. Will Democrats also bar local police and sheriffs from the program?
Pay attention. Concentration camps are being built right now.
Incredibly funny to hear that ICE agents aren’t getting paid, because of fucking course they aren’t. Not paying people is Trump’s favorite thing to do that’s not a sex crime
Polymarket, the gambling app that lets users bet on just about anything, was being investigated for violating money laundering laws.
Then Trump became president. The DOJ dropped its probe. And Don Jr. (who was an investor) got hired as an advisor to the company.
Funny how that works, huh?
Where are the rest of the Epstein Files?
This is now without question the biggest politico-financial scandal in United States history. Teapot Dome was trivial in comparison.
I was a little late to catch up with this WSJ kleptocracy story. We already knew Sheikh Tahnoon dropped $2b on World Liberty Financial to get Trump to let UAE import advanced chips. Now we learn Tahnoon also purchased 49 percent of World Liberty Financial.

‘Spy Sheikh’ Bought Secret Stake in Trump Company
$500 million investment for 49% of World Liberty came months before U.A.E. won access to tightly guarded American AI chips.
This is Tom Emmers district. His office is down the street. He has done zero to protect Minnesotans from this. A complete and utter coward. I’ve heard he is Johnson’s new porn accountability buddy after he got called out for using his 17 year old son
www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023...I wonder if they pound their chests each morning before gearing up like they're going into Fallujah? Do these little men gathering in wait outside of elementary schools, weapons locked and loaded, really believe they're the 'good guys'- waiting up deport 5 year olds?!

Something not getting enough attention: The owner of the New York Giants, the Commanders’ majority owner, and the owner of the New England Patriots all have something in common.
They’re in the Epstein files
Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025.
Meanwhile, thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined.
See the problem here?
Trump claims he wants to cap credit card interest rates.
But before his announcement, his own regulators filed a legal brief opposing a Colorado law that would do just that.
Don’t believe his fake populism for a second. He will always govern for the rich and powerful — not you.
Trump Is Breaking His Word on Credit Card Regulation
Donald Trump has long claimed he wants to lower credit card interest rates. His regulators are intervening in a legal ba
Now have ICE goons take off the fucking masks, show badges, have judicial warrants, stop shooting people, stop shoving people, stop throwing tear gas around like it was nothing, tell agents to show respect and stop the kidnapping and harassment of brown people.
Body cameras aren't the problem. Undisciplined thuggery is the problem.
$100 says they'll never turn them on, "forget" to turn them on, or never release any footage.
So what? Who will enforce them or have access to them after they commit their crimes and make them turn them on. BS.

Well Bad Bunny is an American citizen. The “rapists, murderers, sex traffickers, and pedophiles” are in the White House and in the highest levels of government. He works beside them daily. He shows up then without any qualms so 🤷🏼♀️.
Trump said: “The Republicans should say, we want to take over. We should take over the voting, the voting in at least many, 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.”
Which outlet do think got it right with its headline?
You’re forgetting the lapsed Catholics and Evangelists. The Agnostics and the arm chair theologians. The ones who say I’m “spiritual not religious”

Left leaning Christians in general tend to be peacemakers who don’t get a lot of attention unless they/we are being shot with pepper balls, tear gas or pinned to the ground.

Exclusive: Despite new curbs, Elon Musk’s Grok at times produces sexualized images - even when told subjects didn’t consent
Elon Musk’s flagship artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok, continues to generate sexualized images of people even when users explicitly warn that the subjects do not consent, Reuters has found.
Our politics are fundamentally corrupt.
I spoke on the Senate floor to talk about this secret deal to make Trump rich in exchange for national security favors. At least $187 million into Trump's pocket. Just mind blowing.
A UAE investor secretly gave Trump $187 million and his top Middle East envoy $31 million. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent.
Brazen, open corruption. And we shouldn't pretend it's normal.

The way they all smarmiliy laughed 🤮
He is the slimiest of them all. I didn’t think anyone could out-slime Paul Ryan or Kevin McCarthy but Mike Johnson is the mayor of Slime Town on the slimiest day of the year.
Imagine seeing this and still thinking we need incrementalism. Social media has totally cooked people's brains. We got intelligent people who aren't willing to see the forest for the trees because they don't want to admit they were wrong to a bunch of people they'll never meet in real life.
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.
Things are even worse than we thought.

He Witnessed an Earlier Shooting. Feds Arrested Him at the Scene of Alex Pretti’s Killing.
A man who contradicted the government narrative about a prior shooting found himself pinned to the ground and detained after Alex Pretti’s death.
They talk about ICE agents being doxxed even though they are fucking murdering people as an arm of the state but civilians are having their photos published not just for the content but for the threat. Especially after Omar was attacked.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

ow.ly/2w4Z50Y4Bsj After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.
Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”
What he said
Just a reminder that both Ilhan Omar and Maxwell Frost have been attacked this week.
No outrage by right-wing media or even corporate media.
Now imagine if this were done to Republicans.
The entire system is rigged in favor of conservatives, folks. The double standards are just wild.

We should never forget the toadys and bootlickers who cheer for oppression and violence.
That, one day, will be something they have to account for, either officially or otherwise.
This is a criminal gang covering for each other. Absolute loyalty to anyone that's in the gang is the first requirement.
They will all stay in lock step because of this.
