Trump *himself* filed a financial disclosure form this year that asserted he made over a billion dollars last year. That's not a claim from the fake news, or the crazy liberals. That is Trump's own filing.

Trump: "I didn't go to Congress. Remember Sleepy Joe? 'Oh, if they would give me approval in Congress!' You're not gonna get approval. You just do it. You're the president."

Watch an ICE agent run down and then run over a man. The man was was then writhing on the ground, saying "You broke my leg! You broke my leg!" Agents didn't help him. And btw, the man wasn't the target of their operation.

Trump tries to start a race war: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants ... The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!"

The corrupt gangsters running this government violate the law daily and use government funds for partisan politics to bribe voters in violation of the law. Trump has been emboldened by a rogue Supreme Court which has given him immunity and taken a blowtorch to the Constitution.

ICE BEHIND THE MASKS HAVE NAMES 2 masked agents threatened to arrest Robert Peck for legally observing them. He sued. “And now, because of a lawsuit, the (ICE) agents have names.” A Hylton 📌Nicholas Lapointe 📌Christopher Semler I hope more people take ICE to court when their rights are violated.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

We're going to see more of these bogus stories trying to rehabilitate the image of DOGE bros who happily did massive damage. The premise of "oh we really thought we were helping" is a lie.

Sad excuse for journalism: Big profile of DOGE lord doesn’t say a word about all the damage he did. And it was not an “ill fated cost-cutting effort.” It was a malignant, catastrophic attack on the government and its workers by arrogant and ignorant assholes. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

I can’t wait to see Hannity & all the others on the right lose their shit when the next Democratic president bans Fox News, Newsmax, etc from the White House and says, “If you are going to engage in what’s effectively far-right propaganda, why would a Democratic White House give you special access?”

J. Manuel reposted

Isn’t it interesting though that Mike Johnson shrugs all this off as just provocative things said just to create a “persona online” from one of his ACTUAL NOMINEES FOR CONGRESS, but Hasan Piker, who isn’t running for anything, supposedly represents the entire Democratic Party.

It is now, but that doesn't make what she did *right*. Trump is just orders of magnitude worse, as I knew he would be, which is why I voted for her and not him.

Trump, who clearly feels he isn't getting enough attention this morning, lies that "the U.S.A. has total control over over the Strait of Hormuz. I THINK WE WILL KEEP IT! ... Praise be to Allah!" Completely demented.

FOX GUEST: “If Mamdani put price controls on pharmaceuticals, bailed out farms, took stakes in companies, said energy companies make too much money — you’d all go apoplectic… You could argue TRUMP is the most powerful socialist in America.”

I’ve heard a lot about airlines colluding with ICE and TSA to inform on migrants. Sickening betrayal. If anyone wonders how Germany got to where it did, it’s because of these kinds of collaborators.

A reminder that as you see photos of those Patriot Front douchebags today, they are marching on a holiday because none of them have anywhere else to be. None of them have friends or family who want them around on a holiday. No one is missing them today. They're already with their only friends.

I wish it were more broadly understood that Trump constantly and explicitly holds up his naked corruption *as a badge of honor* that his supporters are supposed to thrill to (and see benefit for themselves in). He thinks corruption is the highest form of winning.

Jacob T. Levy@jacobtlevy.bsky.social

No, see, "overruled 90 years of precedent in order to expand presidential power" is the way *critics* describe it. *Your* side says: resisting intrusion into core executive functions, protecting the sanctity of the separation of powers, and acknowledging that the precedent has been whittled away.

You really have to admire Antifa’s artistic skill. With nothing but box cutters, they somehow managed to perfectly recreate the intricate look of poorly applied paint peeling off concrete that had concentrated peroxide dumped all over it. Incredible craftsmanship.

If it were fake news, you could have just let the IRS audit run its course and then we'd all see it was fake, but instead you rushed in like Leeroy Jenkins and demanded everything be shut down immediately? Sure, sure, that makes sense, sure.

REID: The Times has reported that Trump could have owed up to $100 million because of ongoing audits. So are you saying this is not an effort to help him avoid financial liability? BLANCHE: That's the definition of completely made up fake news, and then it becomes real news because they repeat it
