This. No judge, jury, or evidence, but hey, it’s ok to kill them.

“Americans are now dealing with an average 17.5% national sales tax because of these tariffs.” -@azagmayes.bsky.social

This is why you don’t let felons pardon other felons. Awful.

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

Who we gotta embarrass into saving PBS

The Trump regime is declaring that funding for the CFPB is illegal.

Remember: This is the agency that protects Americans from financial predators.

Anti-CFPB oligarchs, who spent millions to re-elect Trump, will now have an easier time padding their pockets by ripping you off.

On Dec. 8, 2015, Jeffrey Epstein offers a NY Times reporter photos of Donald Trump and "girls in bikinis in my kitchen." Epstein tells the reporter that he "gave" Trump his "20 year old girlfriend...after two years."

When people looked into these type of rumors the Times smugly criticized them.

Y'all I need you to focus on one thing...

Please

Elon Musk admitted he knew Trump was a paedophile when he bankrolled and won him the presidency. Elon Musk knowingly put a paedophile in the Whitehouse.

Please. As one hive voice project that out here, and on X.

As Loud as you fucking can.

That.

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?

I don't think legacy media is reading the room correctly on the Epstein Files. Many of us are asking why they have ignored this story for the last decade? Why did they dismiss all of us who were concerned that Trump might be compromised? And where is their fucking contrition and apology now?

So apparently senators must now be notified in advance if their phone records are requested during the investigation of a crime. No one else, just senators. So they're free to crime and can't be investigated without notice. This is so wrong, but it's great for senators who want to commit crimes.

Rationalization is a hell of a drug, but doesn't make what happened the right choice. Y'all folded the winning hand and got nothing in return except a promise from a party led by a Mad King who never keeps his promises.

Today, Mike Johnson will have the House adjourned for 77 out of the last 89 days.

House Republicans have worked 12 days in 3 months.

All to prevent a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

The House Republican Epstein Shutdown continues.

Inventing Antifa In 2005, the Uzbek government invented a group called “Akromiya” to justify massacring protesters. Now I worry the US government will do the same.

"I've told the story of Akromiya for 20 years. I’m telling it again now, because today is No King’s Day, and I am afraid that 'Antifa' is the American Akromiya: a fabricated entity made by state propagandists to persecute anyone who opposes the government."

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

This is not a fight about tax credits.

This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin.

We have the chance to protect the health care of millions of Americans. We need to take it.

$20B bailout to Argentina to help a friend of the secretary of the treasury while Argentina’s soybeans go to China instead of US beans. Rural healthcare is gutted. Bottom line-rural America is screwed; again. But, MAGA.

Congress needs to put an end to this.

Trump is threatening your job, your healthcare and your child’s education to keep himself in power. That’s not America first. That’s Trump first and he owns this shutdown.

KIMMEL, on the Pentagon’s new reporting “pledge”:

“.. They want to pick what the ‘news’ is. I know it’s not as interesting as muzzling a comedian, .. but it’s nuts that we aren’t paying more attention to it.”

It’s rare that one clip can both be grounds for a massive corporate lawsuit and grounds for the 25th Amendment at the same time.

We can't come out and say American vulture capitalism is what is killing American democracy and tearing our society apart. Because attacking capitalism seems like sacrilege. But it's not. There are many fairer forms of capitalism than are practiced here. We need a reboot. Mamdani gets it.

Who will grow food for them? Who will make the clothes they will need? Seems very shortsighted

And even more naive to think said intelligence agencies wouldn't leverage him to their advantage.

The raid stalled a battery plant that would have employed Georgians in good-paying jobs. She screwed her own voters.

Most of the S Korean workers weren’t “taking jobs.” They were specialists brought in to get the plant operational. Their expertise was the bridge to thousands of American jobs.
