I can’t believe this is real! It’s like the worst caricature of how the right says Soros does politics.

In a video posted by Elon Musk’s PAC, a $1M check recipient linked voting to receiving the money: “My name’s Ekaterina Deistler. …I did exactly what Elon Musk told everyone to do: sign the petition, refer friends and family, vote, and now I have a million dollars.”

One close Trump adviser simply says that the president’s ultimate leverage against certain judges who try to stand in the way of his agenda is that the judiciary does not command an army, while the president of the United States does.

Sen. Bernie Moreno: "We have to remember that if Kamala Harris had won on November 5, the stock market would be down 50 percent ... this country would be on a path to ruin. What President Trump inherited is a disaster from Biden."

I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?

I don't think there's precedent for this level of open corruption at the federal level, certainly not in the last 100+ years.

SCOOP: Business leaders are paying as much as $5,000,000 to meet one-on-one with President Donald Trump at his Florida compound, sources tell WIRED, while others are paying $1,000,000 apiece to dine with him in a group setting.

Draw your own conclusions, but Donald Trump is not behaving like a leader who expects democratic accountability for himself or his party next year or in 2028.

Pardoning violent thugs who attacked the US Capitol and assaulted cops to subvert an American election is quite fascistic. No rule of law. No law and order. All that matters is following the Dear Leader, who incited violence with lies. This is a violation of his oath to protect the Constitution.

Trump: "So this is January 6. And these are the hostages. Approximately 1,500 for a pardon. Full pardon."

the wealthiest man in the world having his mom go on TV to say she finds it "degrading" when people refer to him as the wealthiest man in the world rather than "the genius of the world" is some real tinpot dictatorship state-run TV shit

Elon's mom is on Fox buttering up her son and answering questions about whether anybody actually likes him. Cringe.

You are up to date.
