Trump isn't the solution to the "crisis of manhood," he's the problem The misogyny comes fast and furious. Anything real to make men's lives better? Not so much.

"Hurling dildos at WNBA players had a very particular message: You may think you are elite athletes, but to us you are still here to be mocked & sexualized & demeaned. And when Don Jr. posted that image to his 9.7 million followers, he was saying *That’s what I think of you too, and so does my dad*"

Sounds like this survivor of Epstein and Maxwell is saying she'd take Trump pardoning Maxwell as an admission of guilt, which sounds like a smart message.

RFK Jr is doing to the US what he did to Samoa:
“In the small island country of Samoa, lives have been forever altered by an outbreak of the disease in 2019 that caused at least 83 deaths & 1,867 hospitalisations, mostly of babies & young children. Thousands more fell sick” bsky.app/profile/aust...

"Agents stormed our restaurants in a show of force that went beyond anything reasonable or humane. They raided the heart of our business, tore through our spaces, and left behind a trail of fear, confusion, destruction. Our kitchens were flipped. Our walk-ins emptied. Food trashed. Doors broken."

Oklahoma gets back $1.90 for every $1 it sends to D.C.

California gets $0.74 for every $1.

So yeah, Newsom’s not kidding.

Stitt’s “zero income tax” plan is built on California’s taxes.

Freedom for some, subsidies from others.👇

Donald Trump is a confessed serial sexual predator, an adjudicated rapist and a convicted criminal.

Donald Trump is objectively pro-crime.

We can just take Trump’s word for it like legacy media does.

Judge Demands Answers About Deal to Return MS-13 Gang Leaders to El Salvador

“For one thing, why would the United States trade nine defendants who are alleged to be high-level members of MS-13 for $3 million? Is that a good deal for the United States?”

Treasury Department files reviewed by Senator Ron Wyden’s staff members show 4,725 wire transfers, adding up to nearly $1.1 billion, associated with just one of Mr. Epstein’s bank accounts. Follow. The. Money.

While the Department of Justice is meeting in secret with Ghislaine Maxwell to coach her on testimony, it is hiding from us three discs containing court-authorized recordings of her phone calls. [Source: ABC News] That is the REAL evidence. And this is a cover-up.

President Trump is using $10 million of our taxes to market his new golf course in Scotland.

His 4-day trip to Scotland will likely generate revenue and publicity for the course—money that will flow right back into the pockets of the Trump Organization.

With Troops in Los Angeles, Echoes of the Kent State Massacre The 1970 shooting of student demonstrators shows the risks of Trump’s decision to deploy the military against protesters, a history professor explains.

55 years ago, National Guard troops were deployed on Kent State University students protesting the Vietnam War. History professor Brian VanDeMark explained the parallels between Kent State and President Trump’s actions against anti-deportation protesters in Los Angeles.

A seaboat tour in Seattle. Visits to medieval castles in England. Surf lessons in Hawaii. A meet-and-greet with a giant panda at the San Diego Zoo. Those are just a few of the things paid for with “Utah Fits All” voucher money.

Editorial: MAGA morphs into Make America Cruel Again We urge those in your administration to negotiate with local officials, to treat everyone with dignity and respect, and to understand, for the love of God, that our children are watching and listen…

From the Editorial Board:

This is the danger of a fundamentally performative president, a leader for whom the political benefits of calling in the National Guard outranks the far greater risks, which is that such a decision destabilizes a city and forces everyone into ever more extreme positions.

“.. it’s unclear why the children were zip-tied during their detention or why they were detained at all.”

"They are a bunch of shits"

Trumpism is doomed. Not because of Trump but because of the amoral bootlickers that giddily support his cruelty. They don’t think it will hurt them, but history has proven that fascist movements always destroy the people who built it.

How are Mike Pence, Rudy Giuliani and MyPillow guy doing?

Force Multiplier | Tanvi Misra Under the second Trump administration, the most extreme form of collaboration agreements between ICE and local law enforcement are exploding.
