LA Taco did Memo so dirty and he has the receipts

Wow! I was not expecting that.

This is what I meant when I said in 2024 that when I looked at the incoming administration, all I could see was rape. It’s the heinous act itself, yes, but also a mentality, as deftly explained here:

Billions were bet just before Trump changed course on Iran. Career watchdogs started digging into potential insider trading. Then a Trump appointee stepped in. That is not something you sweep under the rug.

My second essay on how under Trump we’ve already gotten used to a level of fascism, authoritarianism, and corruption that would be unthinkable to us just years ago. Today: The corruption of the Justice Dept and *EIGHT* scandals on par with Watergate: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/trump-s-ty...

Abdul El-Sayed's full statement at the time of the synagogue attack is thoughtful and compassionate. Excerpting only"hurt people hurt people' is unfair and a misrepresentation. Here's part of it with a link: abdulforsenate.com/2026/03/vide...

691 words about Cheesecake. 434 words about rape.

NYT "Editor for Trust" Patrick Healy used creepy trans stalker Ben Ryan and his actual Nazi buddy source (Crémieux, alias of Jordan Lasker) for their infamous college rejection leak smear article during the election of Mayor Mamdani That used the Nazi's illegal hack of Columbia's admissions data:

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

Our students and our labor movement in Michigan are ready for a BLUE WAVE!

I'd like to remind Trump administration that after Iran war started, Ukraine deployed experts and technology to the Middle East to help Gulf states defend themselves against Iranian drones and protect US bases in the region, while Russia provided targeting information to Iran.

BREAKING NYT: A billionaire wanted a Trump pardon. His family gave Alina Habba a $50 million deal. Julio Herrera Velutini, a prominent Venezuelan, was seeking clemency. He got it not long after his daughter gave Habba, a lawyer close to Trump, an extraordinarily lucrative job.

California Insurance Commissioner - good discussion of the state and the two candidates vying for the post: grist.org/politics/dec...

Whoever wins will face challenges - and remember insurance also covers health, auto, renters, etc - not just property.

Opinion | Much of the progressive-normie-socialist-establishment debate boils down to the degree to which a candidate rejects or embraces the support of large corporate interests — like the insurance industry. cal.news/4ymVAqd 📝 Robert Greene 📸 Fred Greaves

At a debate moderated by CalMatters, Kim characterized her opponent as offering to “tinker” and uphold the status quo, while Allen referred to Kim’s plans as “totally unprecedented and unmoored.” cal.news/4dY2xqv 📸 Fred Greaves

TRUTH 👇.......

On April 5, 1977, people with disabilities occupied government buildings across the country with simple demands: access to education, jobs, and public spaces. It has been fifty years since the Section 504 sit-ins, but the fight for those with disabilities continues.

Trump has spent years deliberately lying about our elections because he needs you to doubt them. He needs you to lose faith in your own vote, because the moment that you do, he stops being accountable to anyone. Don’t give him that. Make sure you have a plan to vote.

CA Prop 38 - also see CA League of Women Voters - they're a NO on 38. lwvc.org/ballot-recom...

NEW/EXCLUSIVE: The science research institute that would likely receive $4.2 billion in public taxpayer money if voters approve Prop. 38 this November had only three employees as of last month — far fewer than the 51 staffers it planned to have hired by last year. Story based on public records.

One reason Prop. 38 in CA is SO bad is that it is written such that only one institute could get ~$4 billion in funding and that Institute is run by the person sponsoring the bill. Here are some of the constraints the Prop. puts on the institute to guarantee only one place gets the money:

The answer is no. No no no no no. No on 38. calmatters.org/politics/ele...

but there is no formal opposition to Prop 37 and the rest of the funding is just from realtors, contractors, and carpenters who would all stand to benefit from the building of the new houses (which are the only ones eligible for the first time home buyer program as part of this)

hey, Sergey Brin's PAC spent $6 million on the Yes on CA Prop 37 campaign. this worries me.

Comes with a second mortgage and new construction only, supported by builders, realtors, construction unions and you an see why. Would the 2nd mortgage at today's rates be part of the monthly payment? Yikes.

California's 2026 ballot is full of a bunch of controversial, consequential and otherwise attention-grabbing measures. But IMO, none are as plainly weird as Prop. 37. Here are some A's for all of your Q's: calmatters.org/politics/202...

Trump says it's too bad that Putin's army did not make it into Kiev and take over the country. Ukraine is an ally of the United States. Or was. Trump is on Putin's side. He wants Putin to win. And I explain this in my new book. Check out HowRussiaWon.com.

Just call me “Exhibit A” 👋

In addition to the procedural noncompliance, however, the plaintiffs' lawyers — relying, in part, on the work of @gillianbrockell.com (Exhibit A) — also raise questions of substantive noncompliance.

BREAKING: Lawyers raise questions of whether the Trump administration is in noncompliance with an October 6 court order to facilitate the return of a gay man from Egypt who the administration sent to Equatorial Guinea.

I'm not sure how much more blatant it can get that these guys are looting the federal government and then pointing over there and saying "look what THOSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH!!!" bsky.app/profile/atru...

This has been the goal from the start. THUS FAR it has not worked (which may be why they're paying propagandists). Indeed, it is notable that JD denied Trump committed fraud rather than pitch this propaganda. But we all need to make this clear that this Fraud Task Force is, itself, the fraud.

😳 Trump loses it and SNAPS at a string of reporters, says Ilhan Omar might "go to jail," calls Somalia "a shit house," and boasts that thanks to a new program he announced today Americans "will make millions of dollars by turning others in" during absolutely deranged Oval Office event Supercut:

This is the follow-up to the Susan Collins story. Interestingly, Lindsey Graham got $100K and a $5,000 bottle of Bourbon. Clyburn got $20K and a $100 fruit basket to match Graham's language in the House budget. Clyburn had part of his donation go to the University of South Carolina.

NEW: Lindsay Graham and Jim Clyburn were under FBI investigation for bribery. Then Trump dismantled the DOJ & FBI public corruption units. The investigation died. We unearthed it: www.propublica.org/article/nava...

The donor list for Trump's ballroom is finally public, and it blows the lid off a huge can of worms. There’s a LOT here, so let’s break it down:🧵

Living in Ypsilanti, Courtney is facing not one, not two, but three proposed new data center projects within just a few miles of her house. I believe there should be no new data centers until guardrails and protections have been established at the federal level.
