Tech oligarchs in the US act like their own sovereign nations. They have proven that their foreign policy is based purely on personal gain. If going against American strategic interests makes them richer or more powerful, they will do it without hesitation

We need a law that states if a member of Congress resigns while under investigation by an Ethics body, the investigation will continue, the results will be made public, and any warranted criminal referrals issued. Resigning should not stop justice.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs. Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026. This is what corporate greed looks like.

We’re gonna block the Strait of Hormuz which we fought a war to open even though it was open before the war. In MAGA circles, this is called “smart” and “strong” and “exactly what I voted for”.

The people of Iran aren’t free. Iran can now charge tolls. The nuclear material sits EXACTLY where it did, in the same amount, since June. The regime is still in place with a younger ayatollah. Iran still was launching missiles, now with more money to rebuild. Period

We have definitely hit the point where Republicans who are not invoking the 25th Amendment are complicit of all destruction going forward, they are no longer just cowards or lazy, this is on them too.

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

Washington Post headline: Trump backs FCC chief’s threat to broadcasters, criticizing Iran war coverage
 Hey, if the President can’t handle the true coverage about his war and his gas prices, why not come before Congress and tell us the endgame. The media will cover verbatim.

Everything the Ellison family could own if Paramount buys Warner Bros: Paramount+ CBS CNN Showtime HBO Warner Bros TNT TBS MTV DC Studios Nickelodeon Comedy Central Cartoon Network And more... This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped. State AGs must step in and block it.

Calling it a “firing” misses the point. If Trump truly thought Noem’s conduct made her unfit, he wouldn’t have handed her another role. This wasn’t a clean break, but a repositioning. She was pulled out of a job that had become politically messy, but she wasn’t pushed out of Trump’s orbit.

Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why? If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment. Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.

Here's a Jan. 6 rioter posing with a press pass before Pete Hegseth's press conference, just to give you a sense of the type of "journalists" who were in the Pentagon briefing room this morning.

Kind of wishing Canada won the gold. MAGAts: "The players then laughed at Trump’s sexist joke warning that he’ll begrudgingly “have to invite the women’s team” or “they might impeach me.”" U.S. Women won GOLD & had enough courage to decline meeting the dictator. www.sbnation.com/nhl/1104402/...

If we had a law in this country requiring news broadcasts to tell the truth, we would never see another pile of shit like trump ever rise to power.

Yet another sad reminder that there is a two-tiered justice system in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else. If elites can be held accountable in other parts of the world, why can't they be held accountable in America?
