Periodic reminder that Teapot Dome, the worst scandal in American history prior to Watergate, involved $9 million changing hands. That’s adjusted for inflation. This story by itself is 55500% bigger than Teapot Dome. That’s not a typo.

And to be clear, this is not just Trump. For over 40 years, Republicans have been stealing our money and running up the national debt. Then as soon as they’re out of power, they blame Democrats for the economy they wrecked while they campaign on fixing our national debt.

You mean Trump. Trump is the Middle East crisis. He caused this whole thing. And now he's the one blockading the world's oil supply. Because the US let the most violent, most racist, most sexist, most hateful voters among us, choose a president that represents their most barbaric instincts.

If y’all could have heard the words coming out of my mouth when I saw this. Holy *bleep bleep* Raise your hand if you saw this coming 🙋🏻♀️ Lindsey and Katie Britt plan on introducing a bill that will give Trump $400 mil of our tax $ for his golden ballroom no one wanted. Wuttabout those donations?
Why is Trump so adamant about building his ballroom and is cool with the extravagant price tag…could it be security reasons? Doubtful… Far more likely — The Trust for National Security Mall connected to the fundraising for the ballroom is slated to make a 2%+ fee. The corruption is just insane! 🧵

These motherfuckers saw the most beautiful, untouched wilderness they’ve ever seen and the repugnant geriatric child fuckers immediately went “This is a perfect spot for getting two milligrams of gold and maybe some rare metals here and there”.
Republicans just handed the Boundary Waters to a foreign corporation. For the GOP, it’s foreign billionaires first, America last.

there’s a reason we have diplomats and ambassadors and foreign services and do not simply conduct international negotiations by off the cuff social media posts the new system we have is not “disruptive” it is not “bold” it is not “unorthodox” it is “tremendously fucking stupid”
The US press is going to hide this from you but the reason there are "strikes on Lebanon" and "confusion over the strait" is that TRUMP RANDOMLY AGREED TO THE CEASEFIRE TO ESCAPE HIS OWN BLUFF WITHOUT WORKING OUT ANY OF THESE DETAILS

24. There's no evidence Iran agreed to *direct* negotiations. 25. The U.S. has air superiority in Iran—not air supremacy (a key distinction). The volume of lies Leavitt just told Americans was such a *tsunami* that it confirms what I've always said: she must never be run live on TV.

21. Trump first said this war would last "4 weeks or less," and we are about to hit six weeks. 22. Trump began this war saying it was *for* the Iranian people, now he is threatening to *kill them all*. 23. There is no evidence Iran has said it will give up any of its nuclear materials.

18. Under 15,000 feet of altitude, Iran retains significant anti-aircraft capacity. 19. Iran did not initiate peace negotiations, Trump did. 20. Pakistan *wrote* the ceasefire—so it knows that it included Lebanon in it, and that Trump and Netanyahu are lying when they say it wasn't included.

NEW: In the Soviet Union, the leaders counted on the public becoming cynical & apathetic about their brazen lies & obvious corruption. As I write in my OUR LAND newsletter, Trump wants America to slip into the same fog. link.motherjones.com/public/43992... Subscribe to OUR LAND at davidcorn.com.
