American Idealist

Gotta love how Jon Karl and ABC News had this graphic ready to go *the very moment* that Hassett rolled out his Walmart anecdote.

Americans really have no idea how badly things are going or much of what is actually happening outside of the increasingly sealed American unreality state. The increasingly clear collapse of collective sense making is breaking containment fully.

Trump Organization Is Said to Be in Talks on a Saudi Government Real Estate Deal

This coming week, Trump will host Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi leader who approved the murder and dismemberment of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Not coincidentally, the Saudis are working on a new business deal with the Trump Organization.
It's blood money – or bonesaw money.

This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power.

The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.

Any politician who will turn their backs on some people for political expediency will turn their backs on anyone when its politically expedient.

Newsom is just another wishy-washy TERF-lite corporate bloodsucker. We need to do better, for the sake of the nation, than Gavin Newsom.

I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte.

ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018.

We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:

If this number were true, it would amount to about ~0.4% of 42 million recipients.

In my 44 years as a journalist, I'm pretty sure I never advised a "source" on how to blackmail the president of the United States

A fed directly aimed his gun at an unarmed woman in Santa Ana on Sunday, continuing ICE's violent tirade against L.A. residents.

i’ve said this before and i remain convinced it’s true, the 2028 platform that would deliver obama 08 results is “i am gonna
bring the hammer down on the corrupt self-dealing politicians and their rich friends and there are no sacred cows id give a pass”

Did Epstein make his own list of his accomplices?

Jeffrey Epstein advised Steve Bannon that the lawyers representing Brett Kavanaugh in his confirmation hearing should accuse Christine Blasey Ford of being on medications that cause false memories or memory loss.

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.

Well said, Will Bunch.
I take some solace in the knowledge that my fellow citizens are fighting together, for one another.

Growing list of reasons Trump should step down:
- Cover up of his involvement in notorious sex trafficking ring
- Unprecedented corruption, self enrichment
- Tariffs are historic, unprecedented abuse of power
- Illegal desecration of most important global symbol of American democracy

Why. Were. So. Many. Men. Regularly. Emailing. Jeff. Epstein. After. He. Was. A. Known. Pedophile?

Jeffrey Epstein in 2018: "i know how dirty donald is."

We started Indivisible in 2016 because a future Trump appointee was talking about the WWII Japanese internment camps as a model for immigrants at the same time that Schumer was talking about finding common ground with Trump.

Do you folks think Republicans will welcome release of the Epstein Files now as an off-ramp to cut Trump loose to prevent a record setting wipeout in 2026?

the only thing democrats should be saying today is “the entire republican party is engaged in a coverup of the most notorious child sex trafficking ring in world history”

Whoaaaaa

the republican party is engaged in a cover up to keep the american people from learning whether president trump is president pedo

The Flex Loan, a new type of payday loan pioneered by Advance Financial in Tennessee, allows residents to borrow up to $4,000 at a 279.5% interest rate.

Voters Ousted This Pennsylvania Sheriff After He Signed Up to Collaborate With ICE - Bolts A populous, swing county replaced its GOP sheriff on Tuesday after months of controversy over his joining ICE’s 287(g) program. The Democratic winner promises he’ll end the contract.

A Republican sheriff in a swing county that Trump won by 0.1% signed a contract to help ICE, then lost last week by 11.

As many of you know, a handful of Dem Sens have voted on a CR that keeps the government funded until Jan 30, which would end the shutdown. For those watching for anti-trans provisions, there are none in the CR.

Senate Vets-MilCon, Leg, Ag minibus bills for FY26 have no riders.

And here it is from the Speaker:
#Democrats can fuck right off. No ACA subsidies from the House.

#CaveCaucus #FailedShutdown

So the Dem #CaveCaucus aren't even getting a real vote out of their surrender:
♦️Without a House vote, any Senate vote is meaningless.
♦️And without at least 4 GOP crossovers, a Senate vote is meaningless too.

Primary. All. Of. Them.

Not just the ones who capitulated. Every last one who will not disavow this idiotic decision must go.

Schumer must go. He is ineffectual and unable to keep the caucus together.
