State AGs must step in and block it.

Iran war costs so far

Trump has made billions from the presidency and he is now using the services for our military dead as an opportunity to sell his branded merchandise (the cap). He should not be wearing headwear of any kind at this moment, let alone something he sells on the internet. This is indecent.

C’mon, people. Look at your Kremlin style guide. The phrase is “special military operation.” Not all of you are getting this right.

“Welcome to Costco. I love you.”

Key Trump ally behind emergency elections order reveals loony conspiracy theory motivating his effort Peter Ticktin said the Trump should sign an executive order to take over voting machines, because machines in Antrim County, Michigan flipped votes from Trump to Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

NEW: A conservative attorney said to be coordinating with the White House to push Donald Trump to take control of elections via executive order cited a bizarre 2020 conspiracy theory involving Michigan voting machines as the emergency that justifies the scheme.

The White House wants an extra $50 billion to fund Trump’s illegal war.

That’s on top of the Pentagon’s $1T budget — which Trump is trying to boost to $1.5T.

Remember that over half of defense spending flows to private corporations and the Pentagon has failed eight financial audits in a row.

During his 2 hour tyrant rant, the orange felon said he ushered in a Golden Age and the US is better and richer.

The only Age he’s ushered in is one of rampant crime, treason, chaos and destruction. The US is only better/richer for him and other billionaires. He belongs in jail.

Trump propaganda networks quickly moved to spread disinformation during the Mexico operation against the CJNG, creating panic amongst the population and tourists.

The Mexican embassy to the US had to intervene and call out Trump's alleged mistress for spreading disinfo.

Did you see these new revelations about Lutnick? He said he had nothing to do with Epstein after 2005. But starting in 2012—4 years after Epstein pleaded guilty to sex crimes—Lutnick for 6 years was involved in a business venture w/ Epstein. It seems he hasn't come clean on his Epstein interactions.

ICE Issued Confident Announcements About Warehouse Purchases in Two States. Neither Was True. As the beleaguered agency rushes to open detention facilities across the country, it can't seem to get its own announcements right.

Whoa.

US says 11 people killed in latest strikes on alleged drug boats Three boats targeted in eastern Pacific and Caribbean as Trump continues pursuit of alleged ‘narco-terrorists’

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.
