Thank you, @podsaveamerica.crooked.com @jonlovett.bsky.social & @crooked.com for speaking with me about the ridiculous and dystopian reality we’re all being forced to exist in.

Who could have foreseen Trump taking maximum advantage of the Supreme Court granting full immunity to presidents who sell pardons to the highest bidder and commit crimes?

Now the only remedy is impeachment, which he knows Republicans will never do no matter what he does.

Today in Politics, Bulletin 238. 10/28/25 … A new report shows that the Trump family has made $864 million off their crypto scam so far this year.

Today in Politics, Bulletin 238. This is an important one with lots of big stories that haven’t gotten nearly enough attention today. Here is everything that happened. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

I’m still shocked that stories like this which come out daily still get largely ignored. The most corrupt person to ever hold any public office in US history. I will keep posting them every day and try to amplify them, even when most media doesn’t care. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

FACT: In July, Marsha Blackburn voted for the largest cut to SNAP in the history of the program.

Now, 700,000 TN children, seniors & people w/ disabilities are going to miss meals and she’s pretending to care b/c she’s running for Governor.

She thinks your too dumb to remember

Mike Johnson really deserves to hear from the American people. 🃏🎟️🎪

MAGA repeatedly blamed the Left, they blamed immigrants, trans people, anyone but their own kind for Charlie Kirk’s murder. Now they found out that 22 year-old named Tyler Robinson, white Mormon from Utah from a gun-loving Republican family did this! Wow.

Crickets.

Slouching into fascism Are we already past the tipping point?

The United States, just months before its 250th birthday as the world’s leading democracy, has tipped over the edge into authoritarianism and fascism.

Ken Paxton is one of my favorite cuss words. To say I loathe him and his hypocrisy would be an extreme understatement. I wonder how his “for biblical reasons” divorce is coming along…🤡🚮

Paxton tells Texas schools to follow Ten Commandments law despite court ruling Attorney General Ken Paxton's guidance comes days after U.S. District Judge Fred Biery sided with 16 families who sued their school districts to stop the law from going into effect.

My current favorite bit of right-wing Christian hypocrisy is Ken Paxton, a man whose wife is divorcing him for adultery, forcing Texas schools to unconstitutionally post "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery."

Kilmar Abrego Garcia detained by ICE during Baltimore check-in The detention, which was expected, happened after Abrego Garcia walked into the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Baltimore for a check-in after being released from custody on Friday.

Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.

I work in child welfare. That, along with our current political climate, is too overwhelming. I live in Texas and that’s just an extra special kind of hell these days. I didn’t take time off this summer but I’m off for a brief time starting today, so I may post more often during times like this! 👌

The top 1% now owns more than $54 trillion in wealth.

That’s 468 times more than the bottom 50%.

One man — Elon Musk — owns more than the bottom half COMBINED.

This is what I mean when I talk about oligarchy.

1 - trump on roof yelling down says live now - president trump on white house roof 2 - scene from the office where dwight yells up to michael 'do a flip!'

Crockett: This is a person that has a problem with people of color. When we look at who he says are low IQ, even though when you look at his cabinet—this has to be the most incompetent cabinet we have ever had in the history of this country.

Literally… 👻☠️

Texas GOP governor sues to remove Democratic leader amid election map fight Gov. Greg Abbott filed his lawsuit as other top Republicans raised the prospect of intensifying law enforcement actions against Democrats.

Jolanda Jones, TX State Representative, schools Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton.

Texas – please elect her as a US Representative, Senator, or your next Governor.

Thinking of building a Time Machine for the sole purpose of traveling back to May 25, 1787 and beating every Founding Father to death with a stick that says, “Mechanism for a popular vote of no confidence by the electorate”.

It’s a pretty big stick.

I throw those in the trash

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.

For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

It’s tempting to gloat, gossip, and speculate, but I urge us all to be better than that. Please give Ken Paxton exactly as much privacy as he would give to a woman traveling outside of Texas to seek an abortion. Thank you. 🙏

"I have nothing to do with any of this and wish State Senator Paxton would keep my name out of her mouth," said God in a statement.

What, exactly, are we celebrating tomorrow?

Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy?

Our new concentration camps?

Our dying economy?

Our ditching due process?

Our corruption?

Our broken legislature?

Our corrupt SCOTUS?

Our ridiculous buffoon president? #FourthOfJuly

Not just Alcatraz: the notorious US prisons Trump is already reopening Amid outrage over ‘far-fetched’ plans to revive Alcatraz, Trump is pushing to expand Ice detention to other closed lockups marked by scandals

🍊Felon eyeing dilapidated prisons to open to increase number of people he can incarcerate.

This "WHO'S NEVER COMING BACK" document published by the White House should be "EXHIBIT A" in any forthcoming hearing where a judge/justice has asked the White House to prove how it is "facilitating" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
