Republicans show no signs of checking Trump’s corruption, much less impeaching him. They are active participants in paying for access & influence in an authoritarian personality cult ruled by a strongman.

Democrats will be unable to hold Trump accountable unless they regain power.

Grim situation.

The Swamp That Trump Built (Published 2020) A businessman-president transplanted favor-seeking in Washington to his family’s hotels and resorts — and earned millions as a gatekeeper to his own administration.

“Pay-to-play” via campaign donations is OG (legalized) corruption.

Trump is the first president to formalize emolumental corruption with “stay-to-sway” at hotels, “play to sway” at golf courses, & “party-to-play” at his club.

As @nytimes.com reported, Trump direct influence-peddling is unrivaled:

US citizen wrongly detained by the border patrol says government's account is false Jose Hermosillo was held for 10 days at a private detention facility in Arizona.

"Hermosillo said he told the officer [he was from], 'New Mexico.' The officer then accused Hermosillo of lying. 'Don’t make me [out] like [I’m] stupid,' the officer said. 'I know you’re from Mexico.' After that, Hermosillo said, he was arrested."

Did this guy say he thought things would get BETTER with the fascist in office? Did he vote for the fascist? If so, this is the leopard eating his face.

And coercing people to give this regime permission to read all your emails is VILE.

Today’s #Muppet GIF of the Day is…

Dumber than a box of rocks. Can’t even make up good stories.

Those fraudulently falsified (photoshopped) tattoos circulated by the President and his sycophants are just more despicable lies.

This Administration demonstrates the judgment of a squirrel running into traffic with an acorn.

Gayle is delusional! #DeLuLu

ICYMI — Maddow on the WSJ saying Vietnam is looking to let in Musk’s Internet company Starlink and Greenlight a $1.5 Billion Trump resort to get favorable tariff treatment.

Almost like this was always the point. The Golden Age of Corruption.

This is what happens when you have incompetent, inconsistent, impulsive and WEAK leadership

Adopt. It’s a really good thing

“The [Fascists] are coming!”

Peeps 💙I agree with this guy

Dream…

I thought “unbelievable”…then I remembered who we are talking about and realized it is very believable.

Thank you Judge Boasberg!

It’s critical now, more than ever, that ALL Federal Judges & Supreme Court Justices uphold & enforce the two ‘Oaths of Office’ they take when being sworn into their Judgeships.

Currently, it’s extremely difficult, no doubt, but the American people are counting on it!👨‍⚖️👩‍⚖️🧑‍⚖️👨‍⚖️

Staggering truth from a sitting Republican senator.

Not spin. Not media generated. Not hyperbolic.

What the Hell are we allowing to happen?

She should have any Federal license she holds revoked.

Sen Van Hollen met with El Salvador's Vice President Félix Ulloa, who told him that the reason they are holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia at CECOT is because the Trump admin is paying them to do so.

They also provided no evidence that Abrego Garcia is part of MS-13 or committed any crimes.

Yep

This is the problem with electing an administration of too-online edgelords instead of people who actually want to govern. You can’t just “sh—post” your way to a deal with China

"Process" The individual's check on tyranny

Just another ruminating jerk who’s never accomplished anything consequential in his whole meaningless, miserable existence.

What’s his name? What are his bona fides? Was Garcia in his place? Was he in anybody’s place? Birdbrain.

Wouldn't it be nice if every news outlet that covered the Bukele Oval Office meeting noted:

District court wrote: Abrego Garcia "has never been charged with or convicted of any crime."⤵️

Fourth Circuit: The government presented "NO EVIDENCE" of MS-13 affiliation. Abandoned argument before court. ⤵️
