"Greene's net worth has reportedly increased from $700,000 before she joined Congress to approximately $22 million today, according to multiple media outlets," the report said." www.rawstory.com/marjorie-tay...

He tried to overthrow an American election. And wasn’t held accountable for THAT. Why the hell would he follow the rules when it comes to building a ballroom?

The winners of the midterms are already working on how to integrate ChatGPT , Gemini , etc into their campaigns. Millions of voters will simply ask " who should I vote for this election"

This is exactly why Dems get their ass handed to them by Trump's world. They have no clue how to leverage social media algos to their advantage. open.substack.com/pub/weaponiz...

Only cost one million dollars for one thief to buy favor from another thief ... sounds like a deal.

The Christian right’s plot to purge pro-Palestine activism from the United States

Non-college educated white people voted for the guy who’s putting This through

Who’d have thought the son of a conman would get into the family business?

NEW: This tribal lender has boosted the economy of its Alaska town. But some tribal members are appalled by the millions it’s made off desperate borrowers — much of which, lawsuits allege, has gone to outsider Jay McGraw, son of Dr. Phil. With @adn.com

GUARDIAN: UNH "has secretly paid nursing homes thousands in bonuses to help slash hospital transfers for ailing residents .. cost-cutting tactics that has saved the company millions, but at times risked residents’ health .." @theguardian.com $UNH www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Even two months ago this would have been a leading US and international news story. Today it's already so normalised that its not breaking through.

Boyle: "This is really the breaking news ... because of the size of the deficits, because of the paygo act, that would trigger sequestration of Medicare, and it would total over $500 billion. The official figure that CBO confirms is $535 billion in cuts to Medicare."

Every book published in the United States is sent to the Library of Congress. Also, if you are under 16 you cannot use the reading room or order books.

Think of the irony: A guy with a gold toilet is telling you to Marie Kondo your daughter’s wish list? That takes a lot of chutzpah. Sort of like Ozzy Osbourne telling you you’ve had enough to drink after two gin and tonics. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

This is called a bribe. We all know it’s a bribe. The freight company spending $20 million admits it’s a bribe. Everyone understands this, and yet no one is holding him accountable — especially his own party which claims to care about law and order.

Page One must have been crowded. So NYT puts it on Page 13. 🤡 @schooley.bsky.social

"What this amounts to is a stunningly fast reversal of our long history of siloing government data to prevent its misuse. In their first 100 days, Mr. Musk and Mr. Trump have knocked down the barriers that were intended to prevent them from creating dossiers on every U.S. resident."

This is the official White House account.

Organizers in a small town in southeast Iowa canceled their annual Latino heritage festival out of fear of a possible mass deportation sting that could have potentially separated families.

Gotta give Bondi credit here. It’s clear she knows the DOJ Manual’s principles of federal prosecution inside-out and backwards, because she’s obviously trying to violate every single section and subsection of them.

Love seeing the Economist highlight research by @ballstate.bsky.social that was sponsored by Conexus Indiana. No, int'l trade didn't kill American manufacturing. www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

"The paper, Bongino wrote, was trying to make a big deal out of how he had hurt himself sparring with an FBI trainer." That's how the FBI's second in command is spending his time.

Pete Hegseth reportedly shared details about Yemen strikes in a second group chat with his wife and brother. Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., says it's 'not shocking' based on behavior out of the Pentagon.'

“The fox is not just guarding the henhouse; it has changed the locks.” Brian O’Neill on DOGE’s unchecked access to sensitive federal systems—a counterintelligence threat in plain sight.

This "WHO'S NEVER COMING BACK" document published by the White House should be "EXHIBIT A" in any forthcoming hearing where a judge/justice has asked the White House to prove how it is "facilitating" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

House Democrats: DOGE is building a “cross-agency master database” of Americans’ sensitive information

Columbia is proof that appeasement doesn’t work. Harvard is doing the right thing.

A federal judge in Maryland granted a preliminary injunction that bars DOGE staffers from accessing non-anonymized personal data at the Social Security Administration.

Lil Marco is learning that diplomacy is difficult, despite the fact that his boss promised to end this war in 24 hours with one phone call & said it “wouldn’t even be that hard to do.” What he won’t say is this isn’t getting done because Putin WANTS war.

Goldman: "Think about whether any of us want to vote a certain way but bc we fear for our personal safety, we decide to vote differently. We are no longer representing our constituents. We are representing something else more like the bully threatening us. That is more like Vladimir Putin operates"

Here’s the story behind this outrageous demand. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

It's been a weird week for the Pentagon, with officials and staffers being put on leave and resigning en masse. Here's what's been happening at DoD.

This isn't example of "Buy American." It is an example of Trump using tariffs to shake down foreign governments for his own enrichment. He is a gangster getting protection money. #Corruption

"$63 billion in itemized receipts WITH MAJOR ERRORS; $92 billion WITHOUT DETAILS."

In 2019 a BYU Japanese PhD student helped organized a fishing outing. The group caught more fish than they were allowed, but prosecutors decided not to charge him. Now, his visa is being revoked. Kudos to Rubio for keeping America safe. www.deseret.com/utah/2025/04...

*This* is why Elon Musk is helping Trump. He doesn't care about cutting government expenses. Quite the contrary, he wants his greedy snout first in the trough when the government doles out billions in "no bid" (the use of "frontrunner" is a hilarious lie) contracts.
