From J6 insurrection to Schmitt's humiliation, there is a straight line. The latter covered up the former to confuse understanding of Trump's treason. A THREAD.

Since becoming president again, Trump has promised: -$5000 stimulus checks via "DOGE dividend" -$2000 stimulus checks via "tariff dividend" -$1000+ checks via "savings" from expiring ACA subsidies -$5000 "dividend" if Rs win midterms No checks have been issued www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-magi...

One of our #26in2026 targets, @DanSullivan_AK, voted to confirm Todd Blanche for AG. It's worth mentioning Dan received ~$10k in campaign donations from Epstein associates. Also worth mentioning that Dan voted AGAINST the release of the Epstein files. See how this works? https://bit.ly/4wUiSnr

They’re trying to deport the men who witnessed the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. newrepublic.com/article/2129...

WATCH: According to Bloomberg Law, Stephen Miller was behind a DOJ memo that lets states institutionalize Americans with disabilities instead of funding the community care that allows them to remain home—undoing decades of reform and precedent.

“We can hear all the rhetoric in the world, from Donald Trump straight on down, about how Democrats are doing something nefarious, but not a single Republican can point to a single instance of widespread voter fraud in this country that would in any way change the results of these elections.”

Amazon AMD Axon Boeing Dell Microsoft Nvidia Palantir Just a few of the major corporations and government contractors Trump has bought stock in lately. Many of his trades directly coincided with regulatory decisions his administration made that affected their profits.

Reminder that the Trump regime is still blowing up suspected “drug boats” — killing 197 people since September. But no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're taking Trump's word for it. This is murder. We must not lose sight of this lawlessness.

Perfect campaign ad for the upcoming Midterms. 👌

As war-related inflation continues to surge, consumer confidence has hit a record all-time low. But corporate America is doing better than ever. This is what a two-tiered economy looks like.

So glad to see someone so beautifully articulate what I think about almost every day….

I am asking Christians — Protestant, Catholic, doesn’t matter — to say out loud what you know to be true in your hearts. For the simple, irreducible truth that Jesus Christ is not a meme. His image is not a political tool. His name is not a brand. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

Trump's incompetence is only matched by the incompetence of his "advisors". People chosen for loyalty and little else. Anyone saying Trump got bad advice on the war is wrong. Trump surrounded himself with "Yes" people and fired or ignored anyone with a modicum of competence. The buck stops with him.

Think about that..

Well said.

The Department of Veterans Affairs has launched an expansive plan that threatens the civil rights of tens of thousands of veterans. The plan would funnel veterans facing homelessness into guardianship — stripping them of their ability to make decisions for themselves, often permanently.

Gomez to Gabbard and Racliffe: "If the president can just ignore what you're doing, why do you even have a job? Why even advise him? You're saying the president can say tomorrow China is an imminent threat no matter what the intelligence says, and then he can take his own action."

Here’s the thing: Cuba has been making concessions. Opening parts of the economy, talking to US businesses, and even shifting policies that had been untouchable for decades. Did it matter? Nope. Washington basically said, “Not enough.” That tells you the goal isn’t reform. It’s full control.

Never forget who is really winning this war. www.ft.com/content/37d4...

A god that needs violent men in order to succeed is a god invented by violent men.

Jesus’ harshest words in the gospels wasn’t towards prostitutes, other religions, or undocumented immigrants. Jesus’ harshest words were towards the rich and religious who used God’s words to justify exploitation and oppression. Yet many want us to believe the opposite.

Trump is cornered in Iran. So what will he do now? I'm curious to hear your thoughts. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/office-hours-trump-is-cornered-in

A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this. open.substack.com/pub/jonathan...

Is this bad? It seems bad.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks. They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors. Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption. Watch how they vote this week.

Rubio Today: It’s false to say I said the U.S. had to attack because Israel was going to attack. That’s not what I said. Rubio Yesterday: We knew Israel was going to strike Iran, and that would trigger attacks on U.S. forces. If we didn’t act first, Americans would suffer higher casualties.

Almost 250 years after we broke with George III, the question must now be faced: Are we a monarchy or a nation of laws? [Cartoon by Bill Bramhall]

When oligarchs talk of “personal liberties and free markets” they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful. When oligarchs speak of “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability. Know the truth.

According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 — mostly through shady crypto deals. That amounts to $456,621 per hour. But how are you doing?

The scale of Trumpers' planned national network of concentration camps is just coming into focus. Every American should be chilled to the bone by these plans, which put everyone - not just the undocumented - at risk.

Wake up American citizens.

The so-called "pro-life," "pro-family" party is perfectly fine with an 18-month-old child almost dying because of the deplorable conditions at this detention center. Hello? https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/toddler-hospitalized-dilley-ice-detention-rcna257912

If our beliefs about the gospel of Jesus as Christians are somehow threatened by diversity, inclusion, equality, and the empowerment of others, we have deeply misunderstood the gospel of Jesus.

He’s not wrong. And how can it be so? I feel the tide may be turning.

Funny not funny.

NEW: 400+ civil rights groups and unions just joined our demand that Congress refuse funds for ICE and rein in their behavior. Masked federal agents are endangering our communities and putting lives at risk. Our leaders must act now and defend us from this lawless violence.

And we can’t have affordable healthcare

Beautiful truth.

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism. Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.
