Trump is bragging about working to eliminate fraud. Most of his presidential pardons have been for people convicted of money laundering and fraud to the tune of over $1 billion.

What a joke… The country is being run by a bankrupt “businessman,” a Fox News host, a Bond villain, a washed-up reality TV star, a guy with a brain parasite, a Russian asset, and an OnlyFans creator?! We’ve officially entered Idiocracy. Happy now?!

Given that Trump has insulted, tariffed or even threatened all loyal US allies, the US has no allies left. Then it had better increase defense expenditures drastically. This is the dumbest foreign policy anybody could pursue, a real Trump policy.

The astonishing amount of fraud, deception, and graft that will be associated with the so-called Board of Peace is going to BLOW YOUR HAIR BACK. I doubt humanity has ever encountered as dark and diseased an operation as this one will be, if it even survives the decade.

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

WIN: The Virginia Supreme Court authorized an April special election in which voters will decide whether the state should redraw its congressional map to counter GOP gerrymanders. If passed, Democrats could gain four more seats in Congress, leaving Republicans with just one of 11 seats.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

SOME GOOD NEWS! 😎✨ The GOP could lose their majority in the House as early as NEXT WEEK, as Rep. Neal Dunn (R-FL) is expected to announce an early retirement, making it impossible for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to pass ANY bills without support from Democrats. 👊 Trump's losing.

Frost on seeing the "unredacted" Epstein files: A few takeaways. Number one, there's a lot of documents that are still redacted. When I asked the DOJ about it, they said they received it that way, which means that Kash FBI kept them redacted when they gave it to the DOJ, which is interesting...

A federal judge dismissed the DOJ’s efforts to obtain Michigan’s unredacted voter rolls, marking a bruising setback for the department’s sweeping national effort to force states to disclose sensitive voter data. Michigan is just one of 24 states wrestling with the DOJ's unusual demand.

The contemptuous Pam Bondi has made it exceedingly, disgustingly clear it’s far more important to praise Donald Trump and his greatness than to investigate his criminal participation in Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex rings. The fact that a person like this heads the Justice Department turns my stomach.

Replying to @ginsol.bsky.social

The GOP’s SAVE Act also requires broad voter purge programs using reportedly unreliable citizenship info from databases “updated” by DOGE (among other sources). My guess is that these purges wld result in many faulty purges of people w/ Hispanic last names, disproportionately impacting Democrats.

Among other things, "they" didn't have Trump indicted. He was indicted by the states of New York and Georgia, along with a Special Counsel appointed by the DOJ.

Oh no. He will be hauled in front of multiple congressional committees multiple times. Don’t forget to thank James Comer for establishing the precedent.

Stephen Miller is incapable of following the law or telling the truth—even when there’s video evidence to the contrary. He’s a threat to the country, and even members of his own party find him incompetent. Trump would do himself a favor by ditching him.

NO EVIDENCE EXISTS SHOWING THAT VOTING BY NON-CITIZENS IS A REAL PROBLEM, but Donald Trump confidant Steve Bannon is still calling for ICE and the U.S. Army to surround swing-state polling places in a show of force for the midterm elections.

This industry is fucked. People tell you to go independent (there ain’t many other options atm) and speaking from experience, the independent route is difficult and labyrinthian to monetize. Detailed work that speaks truth to power often doesn’t get the views/interest of just rambling into a camera.

The GOP’s new Voter Suppression bill, the so-called “SAVE Act,” would disenfranchise many of the 69 million women who took their husbands’ last names, as explained in my summary. It proposes *no penalties* for erroneous voter purges but potential *prison time* for erroneous registrations. WTF?! 1/
