As the Trump administration has pursued this agenda, the president’s sons & an investment bank run by the sons of Commerce Secretary Lutnick have also been looked for ways to profit from the critical metals frenzy, while their dads help push some of the same deals www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

FYI, our story today includes this chart. Great deal of work involved in building it. Trump & Lutnick families have financial ties to at least 14 companies/executives pursuing federal financial assistance for mining projects or permits from Trump administration. Seeking $8.9 billion in total. (!)

You know who else has never assimilated? Everyone who keeps flying that fucking Confederate flag.
Tom Emmer: "Minnesotans are so afraid that you're gonna call us a racist, you're gonna call us an Islamophobe. You know what? I'm done being even the least bit careful. Somalis don't assimilate. And if they don't assimilate, then they should go the hell back to where they came from."

people who write like this need to explain what, specifically, is "extremist" about these candidates, with examples. they also need to point ideologically-aligned sitting members of congress and point out what, specifically, they have done which is "extremist". if they can't, they're just whining.
The thing I find heartening about this is how there are only 450 or so individuals who found this worthy of a repost. Under 1400 that liked it. Keep having the important dialogue with those in your life who are starting to hear it. 🤞🏽
Trump invokes the traditional definition of treason—providing “aid and comfort” to the enemy—in attacking U.S. senators, including four Republicans, over their vote today in favor of the War Powers Act resolution on Iran. Trump also pretends he won a war he lost.

if the Justice Department and federal judges are willing to set the bar for “providing material support to terrorists” this low—an encrypted group chat, auto-deleting messages, wearing black, possessing zines—what the Praireland defendants have been through will likely be just the beginning
Breaking news: A jury convicted people who protested outside an ICE facility in Texas of providing material support to terrorists, and other charges in a closely watched case in which the gov't argued the protesters were "Antifa". www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
