Unprecedented corruption - 1500x what Hunter Biden made from his paintings and going directly to the president.
BREAKING: Trump announces that Rudy Giuliani will be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is the nation’s highest civilian honor. Note that Giuliani has been charged with felonies in two different states, including racketeering and has been found liable for over $100 million in damages.
Definitely more of this.
Destroying the country is his plan.
New in PN: Alert the media — the WH is lying about Trump's health "Something's clearly up & the official explanations don’t make sense. That’s not a shock given that Trump is a liar surrounded by toadies who surrendered their shame long ago. But it’s past time for reporters to ask some questions."
Gift article. New from Tom Nichols. President Trump acts like a sadistic superhero. @radiofreetom.bsky.social @ericowens.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Make America Grovel Again
Sending troops into American cities is an act of war.
Trump is handing the nation over to Putin.
Chinese officials "were saying, it's very interesting to watch President Trump because we've had a long-term strategy to basically try to weaken and divide America's alliances....President Trump is just doing it for us." Jake Sullivan joins @timmiller.bsky.social on the latest Bulwark Podcast:
wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them? This is an insane person.
Maybe all civil service workers need to strike for a few weeks. See how things go.
The party that claims to care about law and order sends the military to pick up trash in DC but has nothing to say about the regular massacre of children in schools under than ‘thoughts and prayers.’
@anntelnaes.bsky.social
The Donald is Biff Tannen
Donald Trump was found guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.
I blame the republican house and senate
War is still raging in Ukraine. Measles outbreak. US cities under siege. Gas, coffee, grocery prices are all up. No tax on tips. Value of the US dollar down. Radioactive shrimp? Millions thrown off health insurance while the plague makes a comeback... And still no Epstein files.
America survived a coup attempt. Can it endure dictatorial creep? | Lawrence Douglas
Why isn’t Trump’s military invasion of an American city considered an act of war?
Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
Trump now has the “warfighters” picking up trash near the White House. www.fox5dc.com/news/nationa...
We have no congress. Just Trump minions
Reading The Midnight Library, and this line popped out. Explains a lot right now. “She realised that you could be as honest as possible in life, but people only see the truth if it is close enough to their reality. As Thoreau wrote, ‘It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.’”
Rep. Jim Jordan, the congressman accused of covering up a university doctor’s sexual misconduct against Ohio State wrestlers while Jordan was an assistant coach, said he believes convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell. Watch/Read: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
He doesn’t know red states have higher crime rates, or does not care
All of this, ALL OF IT, is to distract from the Epstein files. All of it.
Well done to whoever did this
The republican senators work for trump. They are his employees. They do not represent Americans.
Good question.
Trump is demanding more crime.
Only the best”
Because those dastardly Mexicans could never possibly come up with a counter strategy as brilliant as… gloves.
BREAKING: A federal court has blocked Texas public school districts from displaying the Ten Commandments in every classroom thanks to an ACLU lawsuit!
"No more. Donald Trump’s corruption is borderless, in ways we’ve never quite seen before. But what’s also precedent-shattering is that he doesn’t try to hide it. His depravity is all in the open."

Trump Jong-un
My law firm is currently litigating 48 voting and election cases in 23 states including 7 redistricting cases in AL, GA, LA, NC TX, & WI.
No pretense of maintaining the integrity and independence of DOJ & FBI. That’s all gone now. Trump has his private police force.
If you watch one thing today, make it this. These workers are risking their lives to build our cities and getting paid like their time, safety, and dignity don’t matter. They deserve fair pay. They deserve respect.
If Kamala Harris had used our tax dollars to raise a river’s water level so that her family kayak vacation would be more fun, Fox would be running that shit on a loop 24/7 for two weeks straight.
The @democrats.org need to just move forward with this regardless.
How unfortunate they’ll be voted into oblivion soon
President Zelenskyy: "Ukrainians defend what's theirs. Even those who are with Russia know that Russia is doing evil. Of course, we will not reward Russia for what it has perpetrated. The #Ukrainian people deserve peace. But all partners must understand what a dignified peace is.
Maybe they can release the Epstein files
JD Vance has taken vacations in the following months of the Trump-Vance administration: February March April May June July August
Has to cheat.
The Constitution dictates that the census is a count "all persons" conducted every "ten years." Donald Trump has no power to alter either the timing or who is counted.
Republicans adjourned Congress early to avoid a vote to release the Epstein files and a bunch of them went to Israel.
Kleptocracy of this nature, heretofore seen in places like Russia, has come home in the disgusting, piggish and—in the eyes of many experts—illegal use of the White House to enrich Trump and his family.
Trump's delusion is off the charts, as always.
Democrats need to go forward with the plan. Immediately. Stop knee jerking and do something proactive
Republicans complain about Texas Democrats “fleeing”—yet just days ago, they themselves fled D.C. to avoid voting on the Epstein files. Why? To protect a convicted felon sitting in the Oval Office. One side dodges accountability. The other fights for democracy. Repost @djmelodie
"How would you describe the moral culpability of a man who casually destroys a program that will result in the deaths of millions *without even achieving his stated aims of saving money*?"
Brown: Brad Edwards deposed Epstein’s accountant—she worked for Epstein’s modeling company She gave more detail than we had heard before, including the fact that when Epstein formed that company, he told her he wanted it to be set up just like Trump’s modeling agency.
The fact that Republicans are unfazed that Donald Trump is giving special treatment to a woman who ran this country’s most notorious pedophile ring on behalf of its most notorious serial pedophile is the latest sign of the GOP’s complete moral rot.
Selfish clown is a fake president
I'm just a humble country blogger and I'm just spitballing here, but it seems to me that the Democrats could run on a slogan like: "Trump killed Elmo to pay for a gold-plated Saudi jet." That would play well, I think
Does not sound safe to me.
I bet he was purchased
As inflation inches higher and consumer prices climb, Trump is resorting to a familiar tactic: He’s making stuff up, pointing to grocery prices that exist only in his imagination. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
Trump is responsible for millions of the poorest people in the world dying. His signature piece of legislation takes away food, health care and heating assistance from millions of Americans.
Well done, you failures.
Q: "Jeffrey Epstein poached two of your staffers? Who were they? Were they young?" Trump: "He took people. And because he took people I said, 'Don't do it anymore, they work for me.' And he took some others...That was the end of him. When they steal people I don't like it."
When they send 4 billion dollars of my tax money to a country with free healthcare, free day care and subsidized higher education, I say STOP IT.
This is the kind of gap between rank and file voters and the party establishment that will likely cause some real havoc and disruption in the party's politics and primaries. In a different way, it's what gave rise to Trump in GOP.
Right now we have Biff Tannen running things
Let het rot
Does that include satanists and Scientologists?
Door County Republican Chair Stephanie Soucek said she “don't know what is going on” with Trump’s handling of the Epstein files, but will “trust Trump.” Her husband Scott was just charged after having over 300 images of child porn.
holy shit @bmeiselas.bsky.social 😭
Why isn’t he negotiating those tariffs with those who have pay them: the American people? EU must be in hysterics over his press announcements.
$4 trillion.

Again, Trump’s PLAN is to: 1. Pardon a convicted child molester and trafficker 2. Arrest and imprison whomever he wants 3. Never release the actual Epstein files
FEMA will send $608 million to states to construct temporary immigrant detention centers, like Florida’s notorious “Alligator Alcatraz.” Meanwhile, Trump is preparing to cut $1 billion in grants that help communities prep for disaster response. Cruelty is always the priority.
While the Department of Justice is meeting in secret with Ghislaine Maxwell to coach her on testimony, it is hiding from us three discs containing court-authorized recordings of her phone calls. [Source: ABC News] That is the REAL evidence. And this is a cover-up.
Diapers on fire
Convicted predators who rape and abuse children shouldn’t qualify for pardon consideration. A president who can’t immediately say “absolutely not” when I asked if he’s considering such a pardon should be hounded out of office.
Exclusive: The former senior CIA officer who helped oversee the 2017 intelligence assessment on Russia’s interference in the 2016 election says DNI Tulsi Gabbard and the White House are “lying” when they claim that it was an attempt to sabotage President Trump.
Blanche sounds complicit. Wonder if he is on the list
Cutting off his nose to spite his face? Everyone should dump his services
In lieu of releasing the Epstein Files, Republicans will release pedophiles from prison.
It will probably have ICE arrest them, too.
RELEASE. THE. FILES. ALREADY.
Ruppert leaning IN
Every Republican that promised you the Epstein files is now actively hiding them.
Isn’t Obama and Biden totally immune? Thanks to the supremely subservient court.
Lock Russell vought up
To be clear, this now a massive cover up involving the President, the Attorney General, the FBI Director, and the GOP Congress.
White House rejects Maryland's request for disaster assistance after flooding in May, Gov. Moore says www.cbsnews.com/baltimore/ne...
CBS caved to Trump so not watching anything they got
I think there are members of the house on that client list
