(FT) - Hedge fund billionaire Ray Dalio has warned Donald Trump’s America is drifting into 1930s-style autocratic politics — and said other investors are too scared of the president to speak up. @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/b86b...

Just so you know, everything that is being pushed out from the Whitehouse is just a ploy to distract us from the Epstein victims testifying on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. Thank you Rep Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep Thomas Massie (R-KY) for making this happen. The victims deserve justice! 💥🔥💥
Graham Platner for Senate (@grahamformaine.bsky.social) reposted
My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country. I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

Because they believe, "if they just turn us loose, we can clean this up." Trump lets them trash the 4th Amendment. Problem is that's a slippery slope. Once they've "cleaned it up," what's the next target? Eventually they will fall under the tyrant's thumb, but most don't understand history.

It doesn’t seem like it should be remotely controversial that if you’re killed by police while obviously storming the US Capitol that the military shouldn’t go out of its way years later to honor you, but then again Trump just rehung a portrait of Col. Robert E. Lee at West Point, so….

DOGE wasn’t a cost-cutting venture. It was a data mining operation for private interests. Trump opened the gates to the castle from inside for invaders with bad and greedy intent to plunder and exploit.

I’m sure the mayor despised it. It was a far from flattering, but appears accurate, portrait. I know the depiction of BPD internal politics is common to other agencies. It showed clearly education is the silver bullet; a strong, functional public system. Hope, but doubt Congress would see same way.

John Bolton refused to testify at Trump's impeachment, preferring to sacrifice national security to make money with his book. He could have helped bring accountability and erode the mafia state, enduring that Trump and his cohort could not return. He did not, so now the mafia state comes for him.
