Donald Trump is crushing our farmers. Wisconsin farmers have told me firsthand that between his trade war and Iran war, the businesses they’ve worked so hard for are struggling to stay afloat. And this president’s latest move is sure to make these problems worse.

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Military families and service members are now describing horrific conditions across MULTIPLE ships: human waste flooding bathrooms, virtually no food, water or soap, months without port calls, exhausted crews, and no end in sight. This crisis is far bigger than just the Lincoln.

Admitting to serving as a protection program for Trump & Co. is bold, even for Johnson. He's parroting whatever paranoid Trump told him in that meeting yesterday. If Ds regain control it's a promise to do that list of things...& more. ⚠️👉🏼 Alert to Ds: Rs excel at blame shifting. 📺 t2m.co/CLxQZWyN

Johnson: If we lose the midterms, these Democrats will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they'll go after the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, friends, half of you in this room will be targeted. I run the protection program. We’ll take care of you.

Corporate Welfare Needs to End! And the Corporations Must Be Required to Pay a Minimum Tax on Profits…. “Amazon received $17.5 billion in tax subsidies last year and made $78 billion in profit. If they're so successful, why do taxpayers have to give them subsidies?”

The pattern is always the same: make a grand claim about America's "Christian founding," cite a source few people will check, and hope nobody reads the original text. Unfortunately for them, some of us actually do.

David Barton's pseudo-historian son Tim got caught citing a fake quote. He held up a book of sermons, claimed it inspired the Declaration of Independence, and quoted words that aren't in the text. This is Christian Nationalist "history" in a nutshell. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...

How can this MFPS take money that was allocated by Congress to somewhere else & take it for himself? WTF is wrong with congress? I hope everything he builds is torn down if he ever leaves. I’d be happy to let them take the money to do that & wipe his name & shitty buildings off the planet.

Did DoD just admit in a court filing that it used xAI's Grok Gov Model to hit the girls' school on the first day of the Iran war? Based on some passages flagged by @rgoodlaw.bsky.social in DoD's recent filing in NAACP's case against X, it looks like it did 1/

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. The seventh richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

The Reflecting Pool contractor is corrupt. John Cafaro has two federal convictions — and still landed the no-bid deal.

Stephen Miller: "It's very bold that Democrats would choose Texas to nominate their first transgender Senate candidate who's transitioning into a female. When Talarico goes in for a blood test, blood doesn't come out, instead soy milk comes out. This man has less testosterone than Jasmine Crockett."

The White House intervened to get a $620 million deal for a company tied to Don Jr. The request was made by top aide Peter Navarro. Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was considering funding at the time, the Don Jr.-linked company was the only deal initiated by a top aide to Trump.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Drunkard rapist scumbag Pete Hegseth addresses West Point graduates with his stupid racist bullshit and says “diversity cannot be tolerated in our formations." It enrages me that we went from a highly decorated black 4-star General leading the Pentagon to this Nazi piece of shit.

Ohio police stopped Black teenagers walking home after buying snacks. Then an officer yelled: “Enjoy your poverty.” Not public safety. Racial harassment, humiliation, and class contempt with a badge.

Also in this piece: Senator Ron Wyden tells me Dems will pursue testimony from the Treasury official who resigned after Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund was announced:

In MAGA mythology, the Jan 6ers are victims, just as all Trump voters are victims. This slush fund is supposed to represent vengeance. But the middle of the country rejects this mythmaking entirely. Rs should be forced to defend it. (h/t @adamserwer.bsky.social) newrepublic.com/article/2106...

We reported that he was thinking about it, and yep, he went for it. "What is Trump hiding from the American people?” says @warren.senate.gov. “Democrats are going to fight every element of this self-dealing settlement,” vows Sen. Ron Wyden @wyden.senate.gov. Wow, even some Republicans seem uneasy.

NEW: I've filed a claim with Todd Blanche for compensation from the $1.776B slush fund for the unlawful investigation by the government into my podcast in August 2019. I'm seeking $8.647 million in compensation for weaponized lawfare - the equivalent of punitive damages, lost pay and retirement.

BREAKING: The South Carolina House votes 74-36 to pass a new gerrymander aimed at eliminating the state's only majority-Black district. The legislature also needs to approve a measure to push back the June 9 primary election, but the map will move to a Senate committee for an expected vote tonight.

Americans don’t want to pay $5 for a gallon of gas. Americans don’t want to pay a billion dollars for a luxury ballroom. Americans don’t want to pay billions for a slush fund for January 6 rioter payouts. But that’s what this president is trying to force them to do.

There’s so much corruption in plain sight that it can overwhelm our ability to think clearly and demand the right kind of accountability. So we need to climb up out of the flood zone once more. My write-up at the link in the comments.

Trump has repeatedly said the bunker will be ready on September 2028. Just in time to lock himself in. bsky.app/profile/muel...

Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com

He's not planning on leaving. That's what the ballroom bunker equipped with drones is for. It's why he's calling for Thune to fire the parliamentarian who's refusing to allow the $1B for the ballroom in the reconciliation bill. It's why he's paying the insurrectionists with his slush fund.

This should be a much bigger story because these 2 teenagers were radicalized by white supremacist, neo-Nazi talking points that are now mainstream in America thanks to MAGA. They were inspired by Tarrant, the terrorist who killed 51 people in New Zealand. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
