Kushner took a $50 mn bribe from the Emiratis to orchestrate the firing of Rex Tillerson as secretary of state, according to Matt Cole's new book, Princes and Thieves, out today. To be clear, this is a serious felony, if true.

Musk doing The Jerk Store timing.

It's ridiculous that CEOs require millions of dollars in compensation when most employees under them are living paycheck to paycheck. So many problems in this world are caused by greed.

Julie K. Brown at the Miami Herald is still doing the heavy lifting on keeping the story alive. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

Besides being nakedly racist and bigoted, this is just hilariously wrong on all levels. I mean, Omar Yaghi won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry last year, and he won the Wolf Prize in 2018. And that's just one example.

Seeing how little coverage that house report that added another rape accusation to Trump's tally got today, I looked back on just the front page Benghazi stories (there were many, many more inside over these months).

This is amazing Texas Republicans mock @jamestalarico for calling God “non-binary” — then say God doesn’t have a gender 🙃

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

Will anyone—anyone at all—ask Trump about the rape allegations published in an official report by the House Judiciary Democrats? Or will he continue to escape accountability for his violence?

he saw an ottoman in the crowd and lost his train of thought it happens

trumps feels comfortable interfering in states' elections again because he got away with it the last time.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

A group of former federal prosecutors and human rights lawyers is coming together to investigate political corruption and law enforcement violence that it says is being ignored by the Trump DOJ. "The rule of law is on life support, but it's all of our responsibility to make sure it doesn't die."

Trump: "Anybody reporting Voter Fraud in the past Elections, or the upcoming 2026 Midterm Election, will be paid $1,000,000 upon the arrest and conviction of those that created the Fraud! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

David Ellison and his co-CEO Ynon Kreiz sent out an email to Skydance employees today offering up voluntary buyouts and also implementing a five-day-a-week in-office work policy. And so it begins...

(Reuters) - US President Donald Trump on Sunday escalated ​his invective against Norway, calling it a "shit house country" and ‌saying Norwegian immigrants were not welcome in the United States because the Nobel committee .. had not awarded him a Peace ​Prize. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

This is true, obvious and notably unremarked upon in US corporate media. bsky.app/profile/theb...

I spoke to the mom of the 3-year-old soccer star who was left "thinking he did something wrong" after a league official called police "due to a disturbance between parents" The youth sports league said they launched a review and reached out to the family

Ill-defined Republican forever wars in the Middle East, in many cases broadly supported by Democrats, have had a huge human cost, including the displacement of roughly 38 million people. This exceeds those displaced by every war since 1900—except World War II. Rarely reported in US corporate media.

I appreciate that Oliver spent his whole show basically testing the Ellisons tolerance for dissent.

Sorry to respond to a meme, but this is in part a local news issue. Nobody's covering zoning board and city council meetings until it's way too late. Obviously, government capture by rich guys and corrupt local officials is the main reason, but the prophylactic is local news.

From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

Jesse Ventura to Piker: "Here's what pisses me off -- I did 2 tours, 17 months. So did my brother. Southeast Asia. That was at the same time Donald Trump was running and hiding like the coward he is. Why didn't he join us in the Vietnam War? I've heard him talk. He said he should be a general!"

Elon Musk uses ties with other tech bro media monopolists and raw cash payments to successfully suppress distribution of Alex Gibney's explosive documentary "Musk." After TikTok Suspended Its Account for Two Days, the Elon Musk Documentary is Almost Gone From Theaters, and Musk

This is why Trump just said at his rally that he doesn’t care about high gas prices because people who own stakes in the oil and gas industry are getting rich.

Bill Maher after dinner with trump: "Yeah, I did it again, bitches....You know what? F*ck you. I like these dinners.” trump after dinner with bill maher: He is a "TOTAL AND COMPLETE LOSER..... the dinner "was a waste of time" and Maher is "not very smart."

That this is in THE WASHINGTON POST is almost too much irony to bear.

A funny video analysis of who #AI is actually making money for. youtube.com/shorts/eYTNR...

Something that's not being said. The REASON why Blanche and Bill Essayli are so defiantly violating the Constitution is bc John Roberts said they can't be prosecuted so long as they're following Trump's illegal orders. Blanche's criminality arises DIRECTLY out of Trump v. US.

Ben Norton offers up an eye-popping chart on US vs China Capex Spending. Note his analysis:

Serbia and Brazil understood the assignment!!!

IYKYK… 🥷🐢🍕🖤

I wrote about our seriously damaged democracy and why things feel very shaky right now

Is Trump a serial sexual predator and pedophile? The House Judiciary Committee Dems issue a 50-page report looking at that question and consolidating the evidence. It's a formidable document. And we still hear apologists on air denying the existence of such evidence. Shameful.

the DOJ is basically acting as if the president’s delusions are true

Really well done.
