Wow! Very impressive for them to do all of this in 2020 while Trump was president and they weren't in the government! Very normal post from the President of the United States!

Longest government shutdown in US history - 35 days (Dec ‘18 - Jan ‘19)

Second longest shutdown - 22 days+ (Oct 1st ‘25 - present day)

Both shutdowns occurred under Trump.

How Americans let this criminal lunatic keep failing upwards will vex historians for generations to come.

What once was.

This is over the top sadism. And sadism never exists in isolation – it's always accompanied by sociopathy-psychopathy (ASPD).

it's hard to Nazi what's going on here

This is the Most Brazen GOP Gerrymander Yet Read about the fight for democracy from activists, elected officials, legal experts and others.

Buried in a new GOP-backed Utah bill is a provision making it harder for courts to strike down future redistricting plans based on partisan bias. The stipulation, Michael Li of the Brennan Center said, is a clear attempt to tie the court’s hands. https://bit.ly/4owphkd

The government is shut down and millions of Americans are wondering how they are going to be able to afford their next electricity and healthcare bills but don’t worry, Trump is hard at work destroying the People’s House to build his own palace

How many fossil fuel-funded Republicans does it take to deliver on one president's promise?

Trump pledged to cut your energy bills in half. Instead, costs are UP 10% and STILL CLIMBING.

I've seen lawyers ripped for trying to implement a politician's stupid ideas, disciplined for unethical conduct, mocked for ignorance, cautioned for impulsive behavior, or threatened with prosecution.

But I have never seen all of that, all at once

until now

All The Donors Financing Trump’s Ballroom As He Demolishes The White House Trump may have destroyed American history by razing the East Wing, but at least these corporations and rich people get to buy access to the president.

This is more than just a list of those paying tribute.

It is a list of the people and corporations who paid for the demolition of the historic East Wing of the White House.

They’d love to disclaim that, but Everything Trump Touches Dies™️, and they knew that going in. Everyone does. #ETTD

His serial killer traits really struck me back towards the end of his last term with the way he thoroughly seemed to enjoy those executions he ordered.

Quid Pro Zhao

Ashley Babbitts family got over 5 million dollars. The proud boys sued the govt for 100 million dollars. Every rioter from January 6th got an apology and pardon from the government

First, Republicans gutted health care access for millions of Americans.

Then, they shut down the government for 21 days— with no end in sight.

Now, they’re throwing themselves a party to celebrate.

Up next: YOUR premiums go up because of their inaction.

Nearly 2 million Illinoisans set to lose SNAP benefits amid congressional stalemate Nearly 2 million people in Illinois could lose federal food benefits ahead of Thanksgiving if Congress can't agree on a budget by the end of the month.

Nearly 2 million Illinoisans will see their SNAP benefits run out on November 1st—
 
But Trump has no problem spending money to build his ballroom, bail out Argentina and buy Kristi Noem two private jets.

For all the chatter abt the Santos pardon, these details are some of the most insightful.

An Ed Martin Tweet RTing Trump's announcement of the George Santos pardon. His tweet says: I was honored as U.S. Pardon Attorney to have played a small role in @POTUS granting @MrSantosNY clemency. Thank you, Mr. President for making clemency great again.

The guy most responsible for charging Tish James for being generous to her Great Niece is in the very same week bragging abt his role in freeing a guy who REALLY DID engage in financial fraud.

And I'm thinking, Abbe Lowell is no slouch and I bet he can explain why this proves selective prosecution.

The NoKings protest in front of the US Embassy in Dublin. There are four frogs and a chicken.

The frogs have spawned!

We need to start getting names of agents and looking up their arrest recirds

A convicted Florida felon is so hellbent on ABUSING POWER to STEAL your healthcare that he's willing to shut the government down to do it??? F THAT NOISE!!! #ThisIsTrumpsShutdown

Nothing like receiving an email from the kid's college in Portland about how they've enhanced building security procedures to keep out intruders and realizing they're talking about federal personnel as the potentially dangerous unauthorized intruders.

They're not wrong, but still...

9. In April, as the Argentine economy began to falter, Bessent traveled to Argentina to meet with Milei.

Right behind Bessent, in a black private jet, was Citrone. He met with Milei just before Bessent.

Of course — “Bessent’s announcement had massive economic benefits for billionaire hedge fund manager Rob Citrone, who placed large bets on the Argentine economy... a friend and former colleague of Bessent, who helped make Bessent very wealthy.” popular.info/p/trumps-arg...

Trump’s Argentina bailout enriches one well-connected billionaire A $20 billion taxpayer-funded rescue package for Argentina is a gift for a hedge fund manager with personal and professional ties to the Treasury Secretary

Last week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced a $20 billion package to rescue the Argentinian economy. The taxpayer-financed deal has little upside for ordinary Americans.

However, the announcement had massive economic benefits for one American: billionaire hedge fund manager Rob Citrone.

"Citrone, the co-founder of Discovery Capital Management, is also a friend and former colleague of Bessent—a fact that has not been previously reported in American media outlets. Citrone, by his own account, helped make Bessent very wealthy."

For those who missed it earlier, @juddlegum.bsky.social notes that it's NOT just that Bessent wants Milei's coalition to survive the elections next month. He's got a rich buddy he needs to bail out.
