My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

nytimes.comA Billionaire Wanted a Trump Pardon. His Family Gave Alina Habba a $50 Million Deal. (Gift Article)Julio Herrera Velutini, a prominent Venezuelan, was seeking clemency. He got it not long after his daughter gave Ms. Habba, a lawyer close to President Trump, an extraordinarily lucrative job.

“Simon Andriesz, previously a managing director at a Wall Street firm, discovered an email chain from 2018 in which Lutnick and Epstein had discussed the prospects of a start-up business they were both involved in.“ Now he’s dead.

As a proctologist, this looks like a fecal extrusion device, although it appears he's using a fairly heavy duty model. We only prescribe these to patients who diarrhea themselves 24/7.

Seriously, what is going on with Trump’s rear end here? It looks like he has some sort of contraption back there

I feel like a lot of ppl are missing the big picture here with ICE in airports. (1/3) The President is freely moving federal law enforcement officers—who have shown a willingness to engage in violent behavior with no meaningful accountability—around the country to solve his political problems.

The US government collected over $1 billion in immigration fees then refused to process the applications. No denials. No refunds. Just silence. This is the largest fee fraud in the history of the American immigration system. Here's what's happening. 🧵

This DOGE boy dissolved my Fort Negley grants, taking money earmarked for descendant-led archaeology and oral history collection because he was given power that indulged the fact that he is too arrogant to see the value in the histories of Black Tennesseans and how they have shaped ALL of the US.

Husted: "People living in poverty are just not very, um, experienced at navigating the real world, right? I remember talking to one young lady who said, 'Well, I don't really know how money works at a grocery store,' bc she grew up & has lived all of her adult life using SNAP cards to buy groceries"

This is how our tax returns should be sent in. Our tax dollars are Trump and Co.’s personal petty cash account.

I am a 60-something mother of three college-educated, Sunday School-raised children. On Monday I will start a new “cubicle job” **just to have health insurance.** I lost my affordable insurance entirely because of JD Vance’s political party. The Vice President can fuck alllll the way off.

The Democratic leaders in Congress have repeatedly shown that they have no interest in leading an effective opposition. They have no appetite for the legislative trench warfare this moment requires. They don't even have the will to speak about it clearly. They just want to be left alone.

We have to get rid of Jeffries and Schumer. We have to. It’s unendurable that these men are the most prominent Democrats of the moment. They are two of the most broadly undistinguished men I could imagine in politics, zero fire, zero fight, zero zeal, machine politicians with sinecures.

Everything Trump is doing now (from from Portland to Minneapolis to Chicago) is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act. I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but I've been warning for months of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

In case you’re wondering whether the pro-ICE reactions to Renee Nicole Good’s murder are natural, here’s a comment that was just left on my video. My video about anti-transgender bias at the BBC. I haven’t made a video about Good yet. youtu.be/pWm3dK8tPto

TurboTax makers Intuit have lobbied the government for years to block free public tax-filing. Now Trump has terminated the free IRS Direct File program, nearly a year after Intuit gave his inauguration $1M. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

It bears repeating that he literally only calls people of color "low IQ" it's just straight up gutter racism

Trump: "They have Jasmine Crockett -- a low IQ person. AOC is low IQ. Have her pass the exams I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. They're cognitive tests. Let AOC go against Trump. Let Jasmine go against Trump. The first couple questions are easy -- a tiger, an elephant, a giraffe ... "

Millions of Americans are already learning that their health insurance costs for 2026 are going way up. I want to hear from you so we can make this impossible for the GOP to ignore the consequences of their policies. If your premiums are going up, reply below and please share your story.

Not being even vaguely sarcastic: At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

Aside from everything else, they’re pissing our tax dollars away on dragging National Guard troops away from their lives to participate in a stunt while they’re defunding food programs for kids and cancer research.

In their latest budget move, the White House wants to: -cut support for preschools and homeless kids -end programs that keep pesticides and toxic chemicals away from our families. -take money away from farmers. All so mega-rich Republicans can upgrade their yachts with tax handouts.

The news media is crowded with people who aren’t here to newsgather. They make no research or investigative contributions; just personalities whose job is comparable to pumping out youtube reaction videos. They’re entertainers, not journalists, and they’re paid 5x what decent reporters pull in.

The political media is obsessively relitigating the issue of Biden being too old and out of touch while the current president babbles incoherently at press conferences and regularly admits he's not the one making decisions on key policy matters.
