The fraud is in the white house

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump announces "fraud whistleblower incentive program" -- "Americans will now be able to go to fraud dot gov and report cases of corruption and theft of taxpayer dollars in their communities ... if you turn somebody in and you find $1 billion, we're giving a commission of 1%. That's a lot of money"

‘Not an Appealing Quality!’ Democrats on CNN Panel Rip Abdul El-Sayed Over ‘Cockiness’ The same pundits who tell female candidates to "smile more" now tell the Muslim Senate candidate to be more respectful to the white bigot who smears them with lies. #STFU www.mediaite.com/media/news/n...

Fuck these geriatrics

🤔 James Carville: “I’d rather Republicans keep the house by 5 than Dems win by 5… Because then they’re hostage to DSA, and Hakeem can’t move.” 😬Bill Kristol: “Good point.” So afraid of DSA folks who want M4ALL, etc. they’d rather Republicans hold power. Unreal. True colors.

Only in America can a Cuban Canadian become a Southern right wing white supremacist kook who vomits up nonsensical verbal diarrhea for a living paid by American taxpayers dollars.

Kroger just announced the largest layoffs in its history, with plans to cut 3,000 employees as it ramps up use of AI. Reminder that Kroger has spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 and paid its CEO $14M last year — 417x its median worker's pay. AI is turbo-charging corporate greed.

Cost Americans thousands of extra dollars in energy costs. Give them $10 The Republican way

Mike Rogers’ wife is handing out $10 gas cards in Michigan while asking people to vote for her husband. Republicans made gas unaffordable. Now they’re offering $10 to keep them in power. #BlueWaveIn20Days

We don't need billionaires for anything and they are a threat to everyone.

Peter Thiel said “Freedom and democracy are incompatible” He also wrote women voting is bad for democracy👇🏽 (Hegseth’s pastor Doug Wilson agrees) Do J.D. Vance & Trump also believe these things? What about @MarshaBlackburn? www.huffpost.com/entry/peter-...

One of my friends is Native American, And he told me that there is a practice in some tribes where the tribal leader is a man but he’s chosen by an elder woman, and if at any time that man does violence towards a woman, he is immediately replaced by the woman who appointed him with someone else.

Imagine our society, if we would not let any (hu)man be in power with a history of sexual violence. How many bad leaders would be eliminated? How much safer would it feel to know it’s no longer acceptable?? Why can’t we have this?!

White conservative Christians destroyed America. Then blame people who have no power. Because all bullies are weak cowards.

Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

NOT TO BE CONTROVERSIAL, but are we boycotting the Patriots and all shows at Gillette Stadium as hard as we are boycotting Ed Sheeran??? Because Robert Kraft deserves the heat about 100x as much, even if Ed is being a little dick bitch for letting him dictate things.

Anyone else remember when a bunch of billionaires murdered & ate babies, raped & tortured children and then blackmailed each other to enact policies that benefited them, all while their media organisations told us to hate minorities and immigrants instead of the paedophile ring…

Nobody gives a shit about ignorant bigots and racists who can't process information

Twenty-five years after the mayor of New York City became the champion of America's grief and resilience at the time of the 9/11 attacks, families of those killed are split on whether the current mayor should attend the annual remembrance. https://cnn.it/4zkKYdc

"The 19 prisoners came from Orayvi, a pueblo village in the high desert of northern Arizona. . . After 1000s of years of migrating across the Southwest, the Hopis had founded Orayvi on Third Mesa sometime before 1150, making it the oldest continuously occupied town in North America" #Hopi #Alcatraz

what would be actually beneficial is for seasoned/experienced politicians to start mentoring and preparing younger people in their party like they're supposed to, instead of just holding onto the office until they literally die

Hey, Dems, let's do this: Instead of centrists freaking out about the success of progressives, maybe we could take Mamdani as a model and focus on listening to and delivering for the voters. What if we had big competition among candidates to see who could do most for voters? Just imagine.

Elon Musk spent $290 million getting Trump elected. During this midterm cycle, he's spent $85 million. In total, that’s 0.0375% of his $1 trillion net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

Um, Ted probably shouldn't talk about masculinity. He dries up every vagina within six square miles of him.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Ted Cruz on Talarico: "If you were making a list of 1,000 adjectives to describe this guy, 'masculine' would not be one of them. I mean, if a stiff breeze came by it would blow him over like a feather."

Apparently the "master race" is just an infected toe stuffed into a suit that doesn't fit.

Jeff Rath: "I'm sure that the First Nations, because they're being funded by the Tides Foundation and funded by George Soros and funded by foreign money, will fight every single step of the way because they have billionaires backing them."

I’m a broken record, but it’s facially insane that the SCOTUS’s position is that the interest of a political party—an entity with no special constitutional protection—in gerrymandering is more important than black people’s right to vote, which we have several constitutional amendments addressing

We should simply not pay it........ Like Trump did with everyone who ever worked for him.

Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com

NEW: Trump is going to give himself $1.7B from the treasury to pay his allies who were prosecuted under the Biden administration- including pardoned insurrectionists. This is a “settlement” deal in his $10B suit against the IRS. abcnews.com/US/trump-poi...
