the company is led by Alexander Betancourt, a Venezuelan close to the regime who has "faced criminal investigations of alleged money laundering in Spain and Switzerland, though no formal charges have emerged."

Hakeem Jeffries and Jared Kushner met today to see what they have in common. It turns out to be only one thing: A stupefying fear of progressive Democrats accomplishing lots of things that will help people.

I mean, seriously. Were there politicians back in 1945 who thought "Yeah we should just reform the Schutzstaffel. It would be politically foolish to say we should defund or abolish them. I bet we can reign them in by re-writing laws that already exist. I'm sure they'll follow them this time."

Joe Biden never hid in a catering truck. However, he snuck into Kiev the hard way: a 20‑hour round‑trip train ride across war‑torn Ukraine, into a capital under regular missile attack, in a country where the U.S. has no troops and no control of the airspace.

"Citizens Bank said it plans to wind down its financial relationship with two private prison companies that have been government contractors under the Trump administration to help run immigration detention centers, bowing to public pressure from advocates and left-leaning city governments."

I think the reason the Reflecting Pool is getting so much reaction is because it's a tangible metaphor for all the failures of this regime. It's a physical manifestation of toxicity, vanity, cost, error, and assigning blame.

It’s a mark of how completely normalised the corruption & depravity have become that we barely bat an eyelid at the thought of two *property developers*, one Trump’s nepo baby son-in-law, being sent to represent the USA in peace negotiations with Iran. Sometimes it all hits you afresh.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

Do you think talking about the children victims of #ICELawlessness will make a difference to MAGA voters? What about low-information voting Republicans? What about independents? What about non-voters? What about you? Don't turn away from this story. Speak out! Tell friends & call Congress.

The Trump administration & #ICE are traumatizing & torturing children. It's our duty to expose this & stop it. So share the stories in this thread far & wide. Talk to your neighbors & call Congress at 202-224-3121. It only takes 2 minutes and they need to know that we object to #ICELawlessness.

Gavin Newsom just posted this in response to Trump vetoing a clean water project in Lauren Boebert’s district, reportedly because Trump is furious over her vote to release the Epstein files and Colorado’s refusal to release a MAGA convict imprisoned for attempting to overturn the 2020 election.

Trump speaks with Putin before meeting Zelensky — every time. Then says he “understands” why Putin won’t agree to a ceasefire, even as civilians are bombed daily. That’s not neutrality. That’s alignment. America isn’t leading the free world — it’s echoing an autocrat. #Ukraine #Putin #Trump

China was the largest export market for American farmers in 2024. They bought 27 metric tons of soybeans last year. They stopped buying in 2025 when Trump started his trade war. These are simple, obvious, basic facts. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Leavitt: "President Trump convinced President Xi to continue purchasing again American soybeans, which is something China wasn't doing under the last administration because they had no respect for President Biden or the country at the time."

McMahon, one of the unqualified cabinet heads, took steps to eliminate the DOE today with 6 agreements to outsource many of its responsibilities to other areas of government. While Congress has the final say, the WH is doing all it can to kill it. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news

One significant way to fix the federal deficit? Dramatically raise the minimum wage across our country. It will cause an increase in tax collections, much less people on federal assistance, and health outcomes will improve causing less reliance on federal health programs.
