Correction: Regressive tax revenue from Americans will cut off the deficit by 4tn.

Pam Bondi lobbied for Qatar & a private prison company, got paid $115K/month, then failed to disclose it during her AG confirmation. Now she’s gutted foreign lobbying enforcement under FARA and signed off on $400m planes. The corruption isn’t even subtle anymore.

Remember that several people asked Pam Bondi during confirmation SPECIFICALLY what she would do on matters pertaining to Qatar (which she did not disclose) or GEO (pertinent to the Baraka arrest). She said she'd consult top career lawyer at DOJ abt recusal.

Then she fired that lawyer.

So many layers of corruption.

The GOP wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but they’re cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right?

Trump spends staggering $18 million of taxpayer money golfing amid DOGE cuts

Less than two months after taking office, US President Donald Trump has reportedly spent $18.2 million of taxpayers' money on his golfing hobby, despite his and Elon Musk's DOGE campaign to slash federal spending.

Alina Habba tweeted ‘Nothing can ever stop this man from fighting for our country’! David Simon replied with ‘Bone spurs’.

Elon Musk cut the staff of Twitter from about 8k employees to about 2k. The crash at Reagan National—w/o adequate numbers of controllers tragically illustrates that the stupid thinking of the Trump-Musk regime to “fix things” by cutting civil servants is a dangerously wrong path for our country.

TRUMP'S DANGEROUS FREEZE OF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL HIRING Washington, D.C. — Today, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Rick Larsen (D-WA) and Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Aviation Steve Cohen (D-TN) released the following statements after President Trump froze the hiring of Air Traffic Controllers, among other safety-critical positions. "The bipartisan FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 directs the Administration to hire the maximum number of air traffic controllers. That's what the law says, so the Administration must rescind this ridiculous executive order," Ranking Member Larsen said. "Hiring air traffic controllers is the number one safety issue according to the entire aviation industry. Instead of working to improve aviation safety and lower costs for hardworking American families, the Administration is choosing to spread bogus DEl claims to justify this decision. I'm not surprised by the President's dangerous and divisive actions, but the Administration must reverse course. Let's get back to aviation safety and allow the FAA to do its job protecting the flying public." "Our top priority must be the safety of the flying public so an order freezing the hiring of air traffic controllers is a misguided decision and goes against the directives of our FAA Reauthorization bill," Ranking Member Cohen said. "The aviation community will speak with one voice in condemning this short-sighted policy and reaffirm our

the first fatal commercial plane crash in 16 years happened just days after Trump froze hiring of air traffic controllers that were already stretched thin

OK, you can't have it both ways, Donald.

You can't stupidly brag about how you ended DEI to bring back safety at the FAA and then stupidly blame DEI the first time there is a crash on your watch.

Well said, Pete Buttigieg

The folks obsessively posting about egg prices for the past few years have gone strangely quiet just as egg prices hit an all-time high.

What is gaslighting? Gaslighting is when an Episcopalian bishop pleads with the President for mercy for Gay, Lesbian, transgender and immigrant groups who are now feeling endangered and fearful—and Trump calls her a hater.

Mark Cuban hits a bullseye.
