Corruption on a massive scale, all in plain sight. The GOP is too craven and greedy for its own tax breaks to call it out.

There are numerous calls to investigate whether Trump and his cronies engaged in insider trading, pump and dumps, etc.

But it won't be DOJ.
It won't be the SEC.
It won't be Congress.

You know who CAN investigate this?

NY AG Letitia James - who has jurisdiction over Wall St.

Elon Musk called a U.S. senator from Arizonaβ€”a Navy veteranβ€”a "traitor" for supporting Ukraine.

The senator fired back: "Traitor? Elon, if you don’t understand that defending freedom is a core principle of what makes America great and keeps us safe, maybe you should leave it to those who do."

Turmoil within DOGE spills into public view as Musk’s group confronts a PR crisis DOGE sees an urgent need to champion β€œwins,” as Elon Musk’s group finishes slashing federal bureaucracy and moves to building digital tools for the government.

More than a PR crisis- it's a strategic crisis. What Musk and DOGE are doing simply doesn't work. Indiscriminate cuts actually *increase* costs because they impair delivery of services Americans need, and also impair govt's ability to improve delivery. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence.

This is a campaign of eradication.

Dropkick Murphys just had an epic moment at their show:

They made a friendly wager with a fan in a MAGA shirtβ€”β€œLet’s see where it’s made.”

Then they checked his MAGA shirt tag…

Made in Nicaragua.

They swapped it with a Made in America Dropkick Murphys tee.

Legendary.

Zelensky Lashes Out at Trump for Excluding Ukrainians From Peace Talks (Gift Article) Left out of a meeting between American and Saudi officials, the Ukrainian leader also canceled a trip to Riyadh.

Zelensky has what might be the hardest job in the world. How he continues to meet the moment, I cannot fathom. But he's managed to do it so far, which gives me hope that despite all, he will find a way for an independent, sovereign Ukraine to thrive in peace. 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...
