I just want more sane people and less “we don’t need to feed them kids”. Formerly @crashtestmeg on the bird site.

Well, the single most predictable action of the Trump second presidency happened just a few hours ago. Trump signed an executive order that exempted Russia from all of the key possible sanctions that could have been placed on it by the Graham-Blumenthal bill.

awaii enacted a law that could neuter Citizens United. Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum. Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fP...
Before Citizens United, the top 15 political contributors spent just $15 million on the midterm election. Now, the top 15 have spent $962 MILLION. That's up 6,400%. THIS is why our system is so rigged. We really, really have to end Citizens United and tax the rich.

Billions of dollars’ worth of contracts predicting oil would fall and the S&P 500 would rise were placed about 15 minutes before Trump announced a U-turn on Iran in a post on Truth Social. CFTC staff began to investigate...then were told to lay off. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

How many pols does it take to screw in a lightbulb? GOP: *smashes lightbulb, because it was high efficiency, and they prefer the dark anyway* DNC: We've got a panel of septuagenarian consultants working out how to best reach across the aisle on lightbulb smashing. Mamdani: *screws in lightbulb*

Trump can't run for president again, so why in the name of God does he have a political slush fund of $850M and growing -- that's he's still hoarding even as the GOP is poised to lose control of Congress? Does he have a scheme to take it with him? My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

This is a tax guy. His advice could be the difference between someone having their assets seized & maybe going to jail, or not. Now imagine having to worry about racist shit in every interaction you have with any person in authority. Every doctor & nurse, every cop, every lawyer & judge, every boss
A HMRC official was sacked because he was caught on camera saying he gives wrong information to black and brown people when they call for advice in a bid to sabotage them. He was a member of the far right group Patriotic Alternative. How many more?
