Again: Why does Musk have operational control over any *military grade* version of anything. That’s not how DOD contracts work.

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

Facts. Is that so hard to understand?

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

JD Vance running around the country saying he’s fighting health care fraud while his nominee for the senate in TX who he completely supports is partying in Dubai with a guy whole stole over $300 million in health care fraud and gave Paxton $190,000. This is the Republican Party.

Ilhan Omar spent four years in a refugee camp and ended up becoming a Congresswoman. She represents the best of America, while Donald Trump represents the worst.

This is pretzel logic only Trump’s team could come up with. We’ve got war with a lower approval rate than prostate cancer and recent credible stories about how we completely failed our injured warriors? What if we re-ignited it BEFORE people vote? Brilliant. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

"The continued self-abasement of Republican senators is an ongoing testament to Donald Trump’s power over the Republican Party, even as his approval rating with the American public tanks." - @delaneyrules.bsky.social in a @huffpost.com email sharing this banger piece exposing Husted.

No one alive has seen a president choose to walk into the teeth of American greed. A THREAD. PLUS: Ask me anything.

1. The thing about Donald Trump is that he's bad at being president. I don't mean tyrannical or fascist or criminal or corrupt. Those adjectives obviously apply, but I mean *just plain bad*.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

Russia strikes apartment buildings. Ukraine strikes refineries. Trump is angry at Ukraine and calls for them publicly and privately to stop bombing refineries while saying nothing about Russia killing children.

Call me crazy but, seven months in, that we're still not reporting, "HOLY SHIT why won't Trump appoint real experts to negotiate with Iran instead of his family and his crypto business partner" is part of why we're here.

Please read this article from Propublica!! It's incredible. Absolutely eye opening!!

NEW: In ‘24, the FBI sought to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump eviscerated the FBI & DOJ public corruption teams. ProPublica unearthed the investigation and you can read it 👇 www.propublica.org/article/fbi-...

This should be read by everyone!!!! Our system of allocating tax payer money is so corrupt. Susan Collins belongs in prison as well as Kash and Trump. I am gob smacked at the brazen bs.

ProPublica@propublica.org

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

OMG! I mean this story is incredible! It's well sourced and incredible. Susan Collins is a grifting nefarious POS who should be in jail. Also Trump and Kash should join her. If tax payers only paid attention to stories like this.

ProPublica@propublica.org

NEW: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes.

Thanks so much Louisiana. He's a corrupt empty shirt who does the bidding of our demented president. That's it. That's his whole purpose.
