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.

I beg you to read this thread but only if you promise to read all the alt texts

So let me get this straight: The President’s plan to lower prices is to roll back some of his own tariffs?

This used to be called "corruption" and "bribery", maybe even "extortion".

Time to dust off this oldie but goodie

You know who has Universal Healthcare provided by the government? Folks in Argentina do and the US taxpayers sent them $40 Billion Dollars so they can keep it. How are your premiums doing?

Imagine what this number will look like when health insurance premiums go through the roof and countless people will have no coverage.

53% of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to American democracy.

Meanwhile, just 100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion on federal elections last year — a 160-fold increase since Citizens United.

The people know: billionaires should not be able to buy our elections.

8 years of "What is a woman?" and now it turns out that the comeback was "define a child"

the ~5 tons of CO2 emitted on this hourlong flight is roughly equivalent to what the average EU citizen emits in a year

There are people like mildew: gross and impossible to get rid of permanently

Everything I’ve learned about RFK Jr. and Olivia Nuzzi has been against my will.

If the NYT told the story of the homeless teenager exploited by Matt Gaetz with even half as much empathy as it tells the story of Olivia Nuzzi, it would be in danger of committing journalism.

the cool thing about ai is that if its a bubble we will go into a recession and there wont be any jobs, but if its not a bubble we will go into a recession and there wont be any jobs

It really pisses me off that there’s not a constant chorus of reporters asking this administration to explain what they mean by hoax when they call it “the Epstein hoax”

They rounded a bunch of random Venezuelans with tats and pretended they were in tren de aragua, then started blowing up random Venezuelan boats they claim “carried drugs,” in order to slowly groom their base into supporting a full ground war on Venezuela that was always about oil

Same that there’s no such thing as “having sex with a child” - it’s called RAPE

It’s embarrassing that anyone actually believed the rich people would actually leave their nice elite enclaves in highly-developed states

If Republicans voted in favor of universal health care how would they find vulnerable teens to sexually exploit.

Old enough to remember when raping children was a dealbreaker in politics.

Being a Republican definitionally means being cool with child rape

Did I just have a stroke or did Trump? Jesus.

Once again my political enemies are smearing me by presenting evidence of my crimes

It is unclear precisely what diverted IRS-CI agents are doing. An unknown number of IRS-CI agents were involved in Trump’s attempted takeover of Washington’s local police. Men in IRS-CI vests have been seen at Metro stops in the Washington DC area, apparently working to catch riders evading a $2 Metro fare. IRS-CI also reportedly participated in a military-style raid against street vendors on New York City’s Canal Street.

An estimated one-quarter of IRS tax evasion agents have been repurposed to immigration enforcement. Instead of tracking high-end tax evaders, they are looking for metro fare evaders. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/five-quest...

This is what Republicans really think about their cohorts raping your children

geordi star trek meme. hand up "no" by message in text: Police/dhs misconduct victims get paid out of our taxes. hand pointing "yes" message: the lives of every police/dhs person involved need to be ruined to a level they can't just do it again and to give others a reason to not do those things.

if the people who caused the harm don't have the money now just think of it like a 50-year mortgage

Mostly accessible for whom?

For low-income women in Idaho and Texas who cannot afford to travel to Washington or Colorado to access health care?

For women on Medicaid who can’t pay OOP?

For women experiencing medical emergencies in states that want abortion bans to overtake EMTALA protections?
