They contribute a lot more to this country than he does

Just. Tax. Them.

What if he just.....paid more taxes?

At least 11 Indiana Republicans were targeted with threats or swatting attacks amid redistricting pressure from Trump The threats came after Trump publicly called on state lawmakers to pass new congressional maps that would benefit Republicans.

Tweet that reads: Update: Indiana Senate Republican Mike Bohacek, who is a no on redistricting and had these stern words for President Donald Trump Friday, received a bomb threat later that evening, according to a statement. "This recent pattern of threatening behavior and intimidation attempts are not only concerning, but also illegal," he says.

On Monday I spoke with a Republican member of Indiana’s legislature who opposes President Donald Trump’s push for the state to redraw its congressional map to gain two GOP seats and help the party hold its House majority in next year’s midterm elections. Trump, with support from Indiana’s Republican governor, Mike Braun, has vowed to back primary challengers against members of the GOP who are, for now, blocking the redistricting plan. The lawmaker I spoke with asked that I not publish his name. He isn’t worried about Trump’s political wrath; he doesn’t plan to run for reelection. His fear of speaking out is much more personal: “I’d rather my house not get firebombed,” he told me by phone.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Judge tosses cases against Comey and James, rules prosecutor appointment unlawful The decision disqualifying Lindsey Halligan as interim U.S. attorney sets back President Donald Trump’s efforts to use the Justice Department to target perceived rivals.

President Trump has clearly abused interim appointments of US Attorneys to put loyalists in place who will, among other things, follow his instructions to investigate and prosecute perceived enemies. So today's decision to dismiss the Comey and James cases on those grounds is welcome. 🧵

Well I’m glad he apologized for… continuing to e-mail Epstein. Because that’s what people had a problem with.

"He said good things about me."

Roman Helmet Guy @romanhelmetguy • 9h 9 .. The Roman Empire didn't fall because its population collapsed.

Swatting incident reported at lawmaker's home as Trump escalates pressure on Indiana GOP President Donald Trump criticized Gov. Mike Braun and Indiana Republican leaders after the state Senate said it wont support the push to redraw the states congressional map.

11/ Another one: "Indiana state Sen. Greg Goode and his family were the victims of a swatting incident at their Vigo County home Sunday, hours after President Donald Trump criticized him online and claimed he opposes a midcycle redistricting plan."

Marjorie Taylor Greene blasts Trump for 'vicious' attacks after saying her company received a pipe bomb threat The Republican congresswoman warned that Trump and other conservatives calling her a traitor "could ultimately lead to a harmful or even deadly outcome."

10/ Been a while since I updated this thread, but I don't think you can understand our current politics without understanding that even the president's closest allies are worried about physical harm or death if they break with him in any way

crazy

Fact-check: true 😕

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

Epstein apparently got higher than anyone has ever been and wrote himself an email of all the cool shit he thought up

Sure, Trump is making tens of millions of dollars off the presidency and resurrecting a spoils system the likes of which we haven't seen in more than a century, but did you know: We used to have old-timey corruption too?

Opinion | Shocked by Trump’s profiteering? Here’s some perspective. There are periods in American history when graft was the rule, not the exception.

This is a contender for the dumbest thing I've read in 2025

Every time I see this image i just gawp at it. An icy space potato whose gravity shepherds the tiny particles in Saturn's F Ring and you can see its shadow, cast by a sun a billion kilometers away.

Well, you can finally cross “I’ve seen a handcuffed, inflatable penis” off your bucket list

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

all these people protesting today in groups of a few dozen on the main streets of small towns in deep red Trump country - where they will absolutely take shit from their neighbors about it at church tomorrow or at work on Monday or next time they go to the grocery store - are braver than the Marines

Trump got a Covid vaccine today.

I want them all prosecuted. Every last one of them.

Guy in private plane doesn’t like that he has to hire more security to address his personal concerns about crime so he is happy to have the president push guardsmen into the city at taxpayer expense.

The thing about this that's worth recalling is that it *wouldn't* even offend most Americans: just the group of reactionary grifters who make money by being professionally offended online.

We've now had the same thing happen twice in the past few weeks. With New York Attorney General James, as with former FBI Director Comey, Donald Trump publicly demanded prosecution of a perceived enemy and made it happen over the objections of career prosecutors, which is beyond dangerous. 🧵

It is remarkable that of all the celebrities from the '80s who've gone full fash Axl Rose of all people zoomed in the other direction.
