Trump is using the power of the government regulatory state to coerce companies into turning over huge ownership stakes in their businesses to the federal government while calling Democrats communists.

Smart move going right at Musk and explaining why Elon is meddling in another election.

Just 10 people have already poured $617 MILLION into this year’s midterm elections. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. This is not sustainable. We need to get Big Money out of our democracy.

Staggering levels of corruption. They’re using every possible lever of power to enrich themselves and their friends and families. And the “party of fiscal responsibility” simply doesn’t care.

“One of the settlement terms under review is for the I.R.S. to drop any audits of the president, his family members and businesses.” I mean, come on.

How come when Congressional Democrats do something folks don't like, it's the "Democratic Party," but when Congressional Republicans do something folks don't like, it's "Congress"?

NBC is reporting that in the days before Iran's attack on a US airbase in Saudi Arabia, Russia took satellite images of the facility, evidently to aid Iran's targeting. So, I checked informally with friends. Yes, it is true. Even as Trump lifts sanctions on Russian oil, Putin is helping Iran.

Today is the 128th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision on birthright citizenship in U.S. v. Wong Ark Kim.

Dems need to be on every news channel saying this. Everyday. All day.

I worry that Delta closing its special services for those in Congress will make it more difficult for Ted Cruz to abandon his constituents in a crisis.

Senate Democrats voted multiple times to fund TSA separately from ICE. Republicans voted it down every time. Republicans are to blame for today’s airport chaos — all because they’re happy to keep letting Trump’s thugs terrorize our communities with no consequences. Remember this.

My resolution to overturn the Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizens United decision — H.J.Res 122 — has now been co-sponsored by 72 Members of Congress. You can view the full list at: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c.... I’ll keep fighting to get it across the finish line!

The Trump DOJ gave Ticketmaster a sweetheart deal that keeps their monopoly intact & does nothing to stop their ridiculously high prices & fees.

The deal was so good, their stock price jumped 6.2% after the news broke. 
Once again: Trump's putting corporations over consumers.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Lindsey Halligan, the former interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, is facing an investigation by the Florida Bar for her role in pursuing criminal charges against two of President Trump’s most prominent political foes.

It saddens me that Epstein’s victims still have to dedicate so much of their time to trying to get justice because the DOJ absolutely refuses to act on the evidence on their own.

How many pages from the Epstein files have been burnt already?

Breaking news: A federal grand jury refused the Justice Department’s attempts to indict six Democratic lawmakers over their comments to military service members — the latest rebuke of the Trump administration’s push to prosecute the president’s foes.

Stop saying they’re “coequal branches.” No branch wields more power than Congress. All it has to do is decide to use it.

Please share. 💔

Congress can stop ICE. Congress can block the use of force in Greenland. In other words, in this crisis, Congress can act to support civil liberties at home and free nations abroad. To fail to act would be to be complicit in a dreadful outcome.

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

“How about we go look at marble for the Trump ballroom?” was some aide’s quick thinking to get him off war with Iran.

Fox News poll shows approval for members of the Trump administration JD Vance: -8 Rubio: -5 RFK Jr: -12 Hegseth: -19 Kristi Noem: -13 static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/...

I wonder if we offered to buy the Epstein Files from him…that might work. Could have gotten them cheaper before the billion or so The Trump Crime Family raked in from Qatar, pardons, and crypto scams. Still worth a try.

Incompetent, politicized justice comes at a cost.

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII. One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing. The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

What I get from the administration’s absurd plan to treat international visitors like enemies of the state is that tourism related industries are a little light on their ballroom donations.

Video evidence shows that the ambushed Venezuelan boaters had several minutes to connect to the internet, purchase $TRUMP crypto, and post their receipt on Truth Social before the second strike. They chose their own fate. by Benny Johnson

Powerful

The silence of congressional Republicans to all the Trump corruption - from his disgusting pardons, to the UAE crypto money, to the Qatari jet, and the ballroom, should be used against all of them in midterms along with their silence on tariffs which has made things unaffordable.

We are All talking about a whole bunch of stuff that’s not The Epstein Files…Trump, mission accomplished.

The Democrats need to get a hell of a lot of cameras on the White House and plaster the photos everywhere. It's not just the brazen symbol of a megalomaniac destroying national heritage; it's happening during a government shutdown when ordinary people aren't getting paid. Make every American see it.

If the Democratic Party hopes to become again the governing party of a dynamic, prosperous nation, it must become more comfortable with the free market—in policy, but also in temperament. It must embrace dynamism in the marketplace and within government itself…” open.substack.com/pub/michaelw...

Time to build a people’s platform

Trump’s adoration is reserved for dictators, not defenders of freedom.

Marjorie Taylor Greene hopes you never learn my name. I’m Shawn Harris. I’m a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, and farmer. I’m running to replace her in Congress. If you’re ready for leadership that works for you, not for TV ratings, please share this. LEADERSHIP MATTERS!

This Hillary tweet hits different now

Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) on Trump's firing of head of Bureau of Labor Statistics "The President is trying to cook the books by firing the non-political career civil servant who oversees the data, because he wants to hide the truth of his failed policies from the American people"
