That’s because we have a feckless FTC that isn’t allowed to fine companies if they are big donors to the party in power.

Is it a threat to free speech when the President of the United States threatens to yank the broadcast license of a channel whose reporters are asking him challenging questions?

I ask because I feel like there used to be tons of pundits worried about free speech. Where'd they go?

Powerful.

Massie: "The president has been saying this is a hoax. Well, he's just now decided to investigate a hoax, if it's a hoax. And I have another concern about these investigations he's announced. If they have ongoing investigations, those documents can't be released. So this might be a big smokescreen."

Twenty-two Trump-branded real estate projects will be developed in foreign countries during Trump’s presidency - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington Over the course of Trump's second term, real estate developers will be working on developing Trump-branded projects around the globe.

Trump now profits from 22 foreign developments, several tied to gov land or state-linked partners. That gives foreign officials leverage over him. Our assessment warns when executive decisions overlap with private revenue streams, democratic checks weaken.

Had 4 years of outrage media coverage of Hunter Biden having a board seat but not quite as much energy directed to what is basically legalized bribery. Need your tariffs cut? Just hand Trump a <checks notes> $130,000 solid gold bar and a bespoke Rolex desk clock. Media shrugs.

This needs to get a LOT of traction.

It’s like Marilyn Manson and the Saw guy had a baby.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.

But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.

A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

🚨| BREAKING: Epstein Itemized for Trump Biographer Some New Areas of Trump Corruption—Giving a Road Map to Investigators

1. Who funded Mar-a-Lago mortgage(s) (Epstein implies he and Russians did)
2. Hawaiian Tropic contests (implied sexual misconduct)
3. Trump Shuttle
4. Legality of His Inheritance

Holy sh*t! Epstein linked Trump FHFA Director Bill Pulte to the Rybolovlev Sale as one of only three bidders, with Trump and Epstein? Does that mean Pulte got his job from Trump because he might know more about Trump-Kremlin money laundering operations? Or is this a different Pulte? We need to know.

So according to Trump the 2021 covid economy Biden inherited from Trump is Biden’s fault. And the 2025 economy is also Biden’s fault. But Trump gets credit for the economy he inherited from Obama. Can we have a date when Republicans are going to take responsibility for anything?

Priorities.

That’s what you get for $22,500?

Gosh.

Three pedophiles met in London. It just keeps getting worse for Dirty Donald. 😳👇

Trump Press Sec’s Epstein Spin Implodes as New Info Rattles Him Deeply As Karoline Leavitt struggles to explain away Trump’s growing panic over new Jeffrey Epstein revelations, a sharp observer of the right explains why MAGA is cracking up over the scandal—and what to ex...

New Epstein emails "seem to show Trump understood who Epstein was, how he and Maxwell were acting, and the kinds of crimes they were committing. He was adjacent to, if not involved in, those crimes."

On the pod Nicole Hemmer is brilliant on bigger Epstein-MAGA story:

How was Alex Acosta able to violate the Crime Victims Protection Act (a federal law) and not be held accountable?

Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it.

Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators.

Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Thanks to Mike Johnson, House Republicans voted to allow senators to fleece taxpayers for millions of dollars as their reward for conspiring with Trump to try and overturn an election, and now House Republicans will be held accountable for that when it happens.
