LinkedIn removed my post today for "hateful speech." I compared Todd Blanche to Nazi lawyer Hans Frank, quoting from book review: "Hans Frank, the Nazi lawyer who saw Hitler as a gift from God for the German people" Ruth Ben-Ghiat has compared Blanche to Frank. www.historytoday.com/archive/revi...

The Trump administration signed a deal giving the US a 35% stake in North American Blue Energy Partners, tied to corrupt Venezuelan businessman Alejandro Betancourt, through a Barbados-registered parent company with hidden owners. Signed by Rubio and Hegseth, it sets a 7-member board with

Corporate profits and tax revenues grew together until the Trump tax cuts. Now corporate profits are at an all-time high while tax receipts are at their lowest since 2021.

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm-bomb

Why do Americans pay so much for healthcare, prescription drugs, childcare, web service, college, and other 21st Century needs? Because the GOP decided to turn their backs on the social contract 45 years ago. It’s no coincidence Harry Truman called them #TheGuardiansOfPrivilege.

Oh the difference here is they're never actually going to send the midterm bribes.

For likely the first time in modern history, the Supreme Court decided more cases in fast-tracked, secretive proceedings than in open court. These “shadow docket” decisions have let the Trump admin. bypass lower courts on deportations, ICE stops and more — often with little to no explanation.

Fixed it.

What is the first thing that comes up when you watch this video?

Just an old man losin' his grip.

This POTUS betrays the Constitution and the Union. He treats Americans as enemies just because of which state they live in.

Incredible. When E—n M—k & his crew obliterated USAID in a weekend, they deleted a vast trove of publicly-funded knowledge: the Development Experience Clearinghouse. A Canadian high school student (!) happened to have downloaded the entire thing for a project. AidData has now posted it for all.

Donald Trump made sure he brought his favorite White House aide with him when he escaped from Air Force One to travel in a decoy jet via a catering truck.

"Where the I.R.S. previously made a point of regularly auditing whoever occupies the Oval Office, Mr. Trump has leveraged his control of the federal government to instead escape the scrutiny that every other modern president, not to mention every other regular taxpayer, has been subject to."

Maria Bartiromo is a classic propagandist in the tradition of Axis Sally and Tokyo Rose. Truth is irrelevant to her.

Squawk Box host Andrew Ross Sorkin lets Brooke Rollins get away with blaming high grocery costs on Biden. It's almost like there was an agreement before this interview to not ask any follow up questions. Fox News lite.

$100 to any reporter who asks him, "so you're saying Capitol Police should've shot dead everyone who breached the Capitol on January 6?"

A civil rights lawyer warned that the influx of tech money in politics is giving way to extreme far-right ideas.

He stood by his oath, despite the consequences! A true patriot!

The “clean” fully clothed version.

I haven’t been able to identify this cartoonist, but he is spot on. #MAGA

6 Greenville, SC residents, including at least 3 cops have been arrested & charged with child sex trafficking AGAIN—not immigrants, not trans people, not drag queens, not Black or brown people. And we will not hear Trump or any MAGA politician acknowledge this. These were cops. How deep is the rot?

How Trump Weaponized The Government Against Americans The only way to ensure that another mobster doesn't become President is to ensure that Trump and his criminal Epstein class are finally held accountable for their ongoing sins, grift, and corruption. thelefthook.substack.com/p/how-trump-...

Black American should not be given reparations for hundreds of years of slavery. Here’s why the January 6 rioters should be given reparations for a couple months in jail for committing treason

This is an excellent question.

Republicans are funding Trump’s war in Iran with over 1 trillion dollars in cuts to Medicaid. His stupidity is costing more than 15 million people their healthcare coverage. Let that sink in for a minute. We deserve better than this. Vote them all out of office in November! #HealthcareNotTrumpsWar

The role of Musk's X in the 2020s is remarkably similar to that of Rothermere's Daily Mail in the 1920s and 1930s. It pushed a narrative which claimed we were being "swamped" by "aliens" (mostly meaning Jews), undermining British interests and values, threatening "our" women and children ...

We’re at the “rage-tweets-for-sale” phase of the Trump presidency. 🤡 @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/u...

Fascism’s ultimate goal is to roll back all progress and recreate a state where a select few control everything, including our reality. What you’re feeling living under this criminal regime is a preview of what kind of world they want us to live in. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/they-want-...

For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed. Is it any wonder why so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void. This is why we must fix the system. AOC is right.

I’ve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.

Fact , Trump has made more money this year as president than he has his entire life. And technically , he should not be making a dime. Other than his presidential salary.

Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.

Sadly, this is NOT satire.

Folks, please retweet this. Trump, Noem, and the rest are lying everywhere about what ICE is doing in MN. We have to do everything we can to make sure the country has a clear picture of what is going on.

In an interview with NPR, Melinda French Gates confirmed that she ended her marriage with Bill Gates because of allegations contained in the Epstein files.

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie: “How will we know if this bill has been successful? We will know when rich men are being perp walked in handcuffs to the jail. Until then, this is still a coverup.” #EpsteinFiles

Epstein survivor Lisa Phillips reacts to Todd Blanche: I’m actually shaking right now. I want to fucking cry. It makes me so sick. And he has a wedding ring on. Like, really—how does he go home to his wife. I’m looking at the files right now that shows names…

“I was raped three times a day and I wasn’t the only girl. It was a conveyor belt of abuse.” #TrumpEpsteinCoverUp

Good fucking morning to everyone except the MAGA bootlickers calling these new Epstein files a “nothingburger.” They implicate the president in the abuse of young women—along with multiple top Trump officials. Face the truth: These are serious crimes, and the DOJ is helping cover them up.

Seeing that photo of Obama putting the Medal of Freedom on Tom Homan circulate again. It's fake. Homan did get a civil service award during the Obama administration, but it wasn't the Medal of Freedom, it wasn't a medal (it was a certificate), and Obama didn't present it to him in person.
