How Trump team turned a dinner invite into a crypto boon worth millions iNearly two dozen crypto wallets acquired more than 100,000 $TRUMP meme coins, worth roughly $100 million, after the team said top buyers could join the president for dinner.

"The most brazenly corrupt thing a President has ever done. Not close.”

Capital One Deal for Discover Wins Approval From US Regulators Capital One Financial Corp. received approval from US regulators to buy Discover Financial Services, a deal that creates the nation’s biggest credit-card issuer by loan volume.

President Trump promised to cap credit card interest rates, but his Administration just rubber-stamped the creation of the nation's largest credit card company––meaning higher interest rates and junk fees.

Another win for Trump's Wall Street friends at the expense of consumers.

When I traveled around Europe in college, the train that I was on was stopped just outside Hungary, and official people walked through the train and banged under the cars with a metal rod.

And I thought: we’re going behind the iron curtain.

Thank God this can’t happen in my country.

I was wrong.

I finally gave in and watched the whole exchange, and sadly I recommend it if you want to understand what happened.

The transcript below does not convey how much Trump and Vance constantly talked and shouted over Zelensky. And Trump’s… segue into other topics at the end should be heard.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

Elon Musk’s agenda takes aim at all of us including those who voted for Trump.

Right now there are thousands of angry people as far as the eye can see at the treasury wondering who the hell elected Musk President?

I do not recall a 24 hour or one week news cycle with more disturbing news about the state of the presidency and the US government in it than those of today and the past seven days. January 6 was nothing compared to this. But make no mistake, this too is the gov't being torn apart by a mob of thugs.

We need to amplify this—the Republican House refused Secretary Buttigieg’s request for safety improvements at Reagan International.

yyyyyeah maybe we shouldn’t just “relax”

The freeze of federal funding IS CANCELLED.

Why?

BECAUSE PEOPLE PUSHED BACK.

Organizations that rely on funding.
Average Americans.
Apparently, some GOP behind the scenes.

There was a firehose of phone calls.

PUSH. BACK.

AND ANNOUNCE THIS ALL OVER THE DAMN PLACE.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Pentagon pulling Gen. Milley's security detail and clearance 'immediately,' may face demotion in retirement Retired Gen. Mark Milley's personal security detail and security clearance is being pulled by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, multiple senior administration officials tell Fox News.

Hegseth told the Senate he’d protect the inspector general’s independence. But after Trump illegally fired the IG, he’s weaponizing government investigations to go after Gen. Milley.

It’s a warning sign that Hegseth’s focused more on political retribution than national security.

PROP - PR Over Policy.

Don't confuse them.

He is flooding the zone. He knows that media will cover everything he does. Getting people upset. Which helps give him more coverage of the upset people. All just talking about him.

Dems need to be strategic.

A tweet from Karoline Leavitt (@PressSec) stating: "The White House is aware of the Medicaid website portal outage. We have confirmed no payments have been affected — they are still being processed and sent. We expect the portal will be back online shortly."

No. The Medicaid portals were shut down because the OMB demanded they be. They’re only back up because of the outcry. I’d tell you to stop lying but we know that’s a feature of this administration.

'A 5 Alarm F-ing Fire': Trump's Federal Funding Freeze Is Jolting Some Dems Into Fight Mode "The Senate must not be business as usual," warned Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) as nearly two dozen Democrats cast a protest vote on a Trump nominee.

I think Dem Rep. Sean Casten gets it.

“If you are a Senator right now confirming ANY Trump nominee who will not unambiguously defend their oath to the Constitution even if that means standing up to Trump you are completely misunderstanding the risk of this moment." www.huffpost.com/entry/democr...

The reckless funding freeze by the Trump administration jeopardizes everything from community health centers to cancer research to child care to critical infrastructure projects. It is an unconstitutional power grab that puts lives and livelihoods at risk.

While President Trump illegally pauses federal funding from Congress, the Senate must not be business as usual.

We do not consent to this lawless power grab.

The noise they hear is constitutional guardrails and human rights crashing to the ground….

They can push back without sounding wonky.

Really.

Be an opposition.

Oh yea. We need real journalists again that will not fold. Report real news.

Go Team ! Keep building that information foundation. I also recommend @hcrichardson.bsky.social ‘s book Democracy Awakening. Go Team! 💙
