Since Trump took office, @publiccitizen.bsky.social has tracked the admin's retreat from enforcement against corporate lawbreaking.
Today, our new report documents the admin's cancellation of investigations, lawsuits, & penalties against more than *200* corporations.

RIP Margaret Hamilton, the brilliant computer scientist whose contributions to software for the Apollo Guidance Computer were absolutely crucial to the Apollo Moon landings. She also helped shape the discipline of computer engineering while at MIT's Instrumentation Lab: news.mit.edu/2026/margare...
Alright, let’s all get on the same page about Vought/NIH/Trump.
THEY👏WILL👏STOP👏AT👏NOTHING👏
The goal is to destroy the STEM ecosystem, universities, and democracy as we have known it. PERIOD.
The only way to win is to impeach them all…which means we need Congress.
HERE’S HOW WE WIN 🧵
EVERCORE: “.. The Sunday night readout from Sec. Bessent and USTR Greer of their day-long meeting with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng .. is consistent with our expectation that there will be no substantive agreement on AI, but rather discussions about process ..”
More evidence of the harm of the 2025 Republican reconciliation law: The provision blocking people from Medicaid if they don't meet a work requirement will penalize some people who are hospitalized or looking for work. www.cbpp.org/blog/falling...
It is really time to sue on the ankle monitor policy: it was issued as interim guidance rather than a notice and comment rulemaking. It also likely violates the 5th Amendment Due Process Clause.
Awful. Just awful. A promising young man, a high school honors grad who joined JROTC and dreamed of becoming a doctor, killed himself because of the Trump admin’s obsession with hurting Haitians and the humiliating shame of an ICE ankle monitor.
His blood is on their hands.
ICE arrests have hit a record high for Trump's second term.
A vast majority of those who have been arrested are people with no criminal history.
Remember that private prison companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group were some of Trump's biggest donors.
They're now reporting billions in revenue.
Federal corporate political spending has already reached nearly $650 MILLION ahead of the midterms, according to @publiccitizen.bsky.social.
That’s an all-time high — and we’re still months away from Election Day.
Big Money is the real threat to “election integrity.”
Mike Johnson tried to scare Republicans by warning what Democrats will do to Trump if they retake the House.
Then the top Democrat on the powerful House Oversight Committee responded with three words.
And Johnson may not like what comes next.
WTF: Megyn Kelly just said that Dr. Anthony Fauci is WORSE than Jeffrey Epstein, claiming: “Fauci hurt a lot more people than Epstein did. A lot more, amazingly.”
Her guest, Victor Davis Hanson, immediately agreed, repeatedly declaring: “Millions, millions, millions, millions.”
This is MAGA.
Trump is regretting bringing yet another absurd defamation lawsuit as a federal judge orders him to produce financials for more than 400 of his businesses AND the BBC can move forward with subpoenas to Trump’s inner circle like Don Jr., Steve Bannon, & Stephen Miller.

Our election system is rigged. Billionaires and corporate special interests have the power to drown out voters.
We need to get big money out of politics to restore trust in our government.
NEW EPISODE: Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin just gave away the game. His 15-word slip exposes the real goal of Trump's voter ID push. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZn4...
CBO projects net interest will top $1 trillion this year and reach $2.1 trillion by 2036.
Corporate taxes fell $86 billion (24%) while withheld paycheck taxes rose $115 billion (4%).
Every rise in interest leaves less room for tax cuts, public services, and the next crisis.
I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure.
Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.
Americans should hang their heads in utter humiliation for having elected this cretinous scumbag.
No voters— at any time, in any nation, at any point in history— have chosen more poorly.
America has precisely the president they deserve— and insisted upon.
If Trump actually ends his War on Iran it will be the single best decision he's made in the conflict, regardless of concessions. He disproved a core belief of the Iran Deal critics, that a better outcome existed through threats and force. Catastrophic failure, bombs cannot secure what diplomacy did.
Trump was just bragging about gasoline being $1.85 and/or $1.94 a gallon in Iowa. The Bloomberg babblers report it but don't correct it.
A simple check shows the lowest price for standard regular unleaded gasoline in Iowa is hovering right around $3.50 to $3.54 a gallon
“.. Claims about Hormuz reopening are exactly why we built this: If ships start moving through the Strait with AIS transponders on, you’ll see it in the index — updated every 30 minutes ..”

Everybody hates Jared.
“Thousands of Albanians took to the streets of Tirana late on Thursday in the largest protest this week against a plan by a company linked to President Donald Trump's son-in-law to build a luxury resort in an environmentally sensitive area.“
Anndddd more inflation.
US inflation just hit 4.2%, its highest in 3 years.
That’s more than DOUBLE the Fed’s target.
Your dollar now buys 23% less than it did in 2020.
And most people have no idea what’s coming next.
You know what's crazy? This guy sells almost everywhere in the US EXCEPT MINNESOTA.
Minnesota's public health dept is famous in the food safety world for being #1 at tracking down the source of outbreaks- way faster than any other state.
What an interesting coincidence!
NEW: In February, I visited Raw Farm.
You may have heard of it.
RFK Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow are customers.
It supplies raw dairy products to 500 stores nationwide.
And regulators have linked it to over a dozen recalls and outbreaks that have made hundreds sick.
🧵👇
I feel like I am going insane!
I have been shouting from the rooftops since February and Dem electeds STILL don’t get it!
THERE ARE FIVE (5) NEW DHS LUXURY JETS.
NOT THREE. FIVE.
—The two “Coast Guard” G7s
—The BBJ “bedroom jet”
—Plus two G650s.
One of them did a test flight TODAY.

Striking graphic in this latest Reuters piece, which finds that while President Trump and his family have profited by at least $2.3 billion since he retook the presidency, their more than a million investors have suffered $2.3 billion in net losses.

Musk buying twitter, Bezos buying WaPo, Ellison buying CBS—all are less profitable now. But they’re political investments that increase the value of the new owners’ portfolios
Wealth concentration makes this possible, and that’s one mechanism by which inequality destroys democracy
Trump rails against fraud. He spreads conspiracy theories. He unleashes his police state on immigrants. He weaponizes the government against his political enemies. Meanwhile, he keeps pardoning actual convicted fraudsters and white-collar criminals. Hello?
Uh oh. The head of CBS Entertainment is privately warning that the Bari Weiss train wreck is inflicting significant damage on the broader CBS brand.
And shes not alone. Inside Paramount, "some believe she should be relieved of her duties."
The scoop in @status.newswww.status.news/p/60-minutes...
‘The closure of the Strait of Hormuz is increasingly showing up as a working-capital problem for US corporates. Supply-chain bottlenecks are rising and inventories are falling, forcing companies to rebuild buffers at a time when interest rates higher for longer.‘ www.apollo.com/wealth/the-d...
"Exxon and Chevron pay more in taxes abroad than they pay in the US, as detailed in a report by @factcoalition.bsky.social ....The new reporting requirements are particularly relevant now, as the gas and oil industry’s tax avoidance continues while Americans face rising costs at the pump."
Oil and gas companies pay more in taxes abroad than they pay in the U.S. thanks to excessive tax breaks and subsidies.
But as Americans face higher fuel prices, even more handouts to this industry will not lower prices.

A remarkable day in US history as Democrats hijack a Republican House to pass bills to end this regime’s war of aggression while funding Ukraine’s fight against Putin’s war of aggression.
Members of Congress, including myself, have access to inside information. It is simply wrong to use our positions in public service for personal gain. That’s even more true with the President, who has the ability to move markets with a single decision.
JUST IN: Iran has suspended talks and message exchanges with the United States in protest of Israel’s military actions in Lebanon, according to Iran’s Tasnim News Agency.
