Lying POS

Tim Mellon, Miriam Adelson, the Uihleins, Ken Griffin (Citadel) - all poured hundreds of millions into his campaign.

Qatar gifted him a luxury plane and invested billions in his ventures.

The list goes on and on.

Donald Trump is the most bought and paid for President in American history.

2/2

The Heritage Foundation got him immunity from SCOTUS.

Elon Musk bought him the 2024 election.

Jeff Bezos paid $40M for a documentary about Melania.

Tim Cook got him a gold brick.

Zuckerberg (& the dickbags above) all donated millions to his inauguration and demolition of the East Wing.

I agree "the system" must be tested over time, especially as new officers come and go; but there is absolutely ZERO need to detonate a warhead. There is no new science gained by doing so and we know that when they're supposed to detonate, they will.

I think this piece from @mmasnick.bsky.social is very relevant though

New Congressional Map Gives GOP Bump In Two Districts Ahead of Friday Vote Read more here.

NEW: The Ohio Redistricting Commission unveiled a new congressional map, which will make two districts currently held by Democrats slightly more favorable for Republicans ahead of 2026. The measure is expected to be adopted Friday.

This is an excellent read for people who may not realize why this administration communicates like 4 channers

Trump can give $40 billion to Argentina, but when it comes to feeding children and the elderly, "the well is dry." If the cruel and sadistic conman has his way, SNAP benefits will vanish forever. Trump and Republicans are literally culling the less fortunate Americans among us.

More Americans are having trouble making their car payments.

That’s concerning for a lot of reasons.

Here’s why 👇

The triumph of bullshit Internet conspiracy theories are now official government policy.

"We are awash in bullshit. And while Bannon famously advocated a 'flood the zone with shit' strategy, it was supposed to be a way to overwhelm the opposition, not a prelude to diving in headfirst. The shit was supposed to be a weapon … but today it’s the stream that carries the GOP forward."

Trump’s speech yesterday to American troops — seeking to justify the use of lethal force against anyone suspected of acting illegally, domestic or foreign — is his clearest statement yet about what’s really motivating him. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trump-just-announced-his-police-state

RAJU: Given how dire things are for so many Americans right now, how do you justify the administration giving this big massive bailout to Argentina?

MIKE JOHNSON: Look, we give the execution of foreign policy to the executive branch. We trust the president. Let's talk about the government shutdown

The Epstein files stay hidden, but the Epstein Ballroom will be a prominent display.

Mike Johnson: "Our calls are leaked every week and we had a conference call with almost everyone yesterday. By our court, there's about 3 to 4 members of the House Republican conference who have only mildly questioned working in the districts as opposed to being here."

The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

New concept photo for the White House East Wing Ballroom just dropped

Destruction of the White House East Wing began today. Here it is in better times with better residents.

The backdrop is a black pirate flag's jolly roger turned jolly ranger with the addition of a flat hat. On this flag are many colorful postcards, some turned over to show they've been written on, others showcasing butterflies, birds, and nature scenes. This is part of a postcard drive to send messages to elected officials.

Someone wearing a jolly ranger shirt holds up a sign that says "public lands in public hands" on the table in front of them are some postcards that say "resist"

Someone at a protest hold up a sign that shows the statue of liberty with a "Hold the Line" sign. Below it are the words: Support Federal Workers. An american flag flies in the background.

Saturday's #NoKings protests were incredible. Across the country we gathered 🫶🏼 on mountain trails & riverfronts, took over entire streets and places we love, to say what should never be forgotten:

Public lands are for the people.

Trump claims he can “do whatever I want” in D.C., even replace the mayor. Legally, that’s false, but rhetorically, it’s revealing. He’s describing absolute power, and it's an autocratic mindset of someone who sees democracy as a formality.

NEW: In addition to his motion to dismiss based on the unlawful appointment of Lindsay Halligan, Mr. Comey has also filed a motion to dismiss the charges on vindictive and selective prosecution grounds. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

BREAKING: The MeidasTouch Network has officially been named the #1 publisher in the country and The MeidasTouch Podcast the #1 podcast overall according to new industry data released by Podscribe, the leading independent audio and video analytics firm.

The latest AP-NORC poll had Trump at 37% approval, but, sure, lean into Trump-is-King. Good idea.

MAGA really doesn't know how to think about anything except to take the opposite position of their enemies, real or perceived.

But what's interesting about the trial was the court challenged the doctrine of sovereign immunity and proposed that "the King of England was not a person, but an office whose every occupant was entrusted with a limited power to govern 'by and according to the laws of the land and not otherwise'."
