- Trump’s family has turned the White House into a cash machine, cutting billion-dollar deals with foreign governments and collecting luxury perks. Time for a reckoning. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-400-mi...

- Unconscionable. And totally on brand with this Trump cult of hate.
- New: The State Department has intervened on behalf of Musk's satellite internet company Starlink in five developing nations. In Gambia, U.S. diplomats have lobbied and browbeat at least seven government ministers as part of a “maximum pressure” campaign.
- The corruption is slapping us in the face, and our reps like Tom Emmer just bend over and take it.
- This steady drumbeat of discrimination and 'othering' should strike fear in everyone.

- Oops, these generators burn methane and emit nitrogen oxides.
- Desperation is a horrible thing.
- Chuck Schumer plans to block all DOJ nominees in response to Trump’s $400 million luxury jet bribe from Qatar. A critical first step. Every elected Democrat should be treating this for what it is: a brazen, unconstitutional scandal.
- I'm sincerely glad he is doing this, just sad that it took this long for him to get here.
- Wut?
- Priorities, Kai. And all the while they are laughing their asses off behind their backs at how the guy can be bought by a hamberder, a red carpet, and baksheesh.
- The Trump administration announced it is ending Temporary Protective Status for people from Afghanistan who sought safety in the U.S. This cruel action puts thousands of people at risk of being deported to the very country where they fled persecution.
- After they helped us out. We will have no allies in the next battle because they have seen how we lie to, use, and toss out folks who aid us
- “Judge Jeanine” Pirro was only a judge for two years in Westchester County Court 30 years ago.

- The voting section of the U.S. Department of Justice has only three attorneys left on staff, according to an estimate provided by a group working to support the department’s remaining staff.👀 www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

- Trump says little girls will have to give up their dolls because he is causing prices to soar, but he gets a $400 million luxury plane? This gift is illegal, corrupt, and embodies Trump's presidency of self-enrichment and greed. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...
- Stunningly corrupt and brazen. As is Pam Bondi, former lobbyist for Qatar, btw, lying about the emoluments clause to give him the appearance of cover for his grift.

View full threadAlexei Navalny had deep connections with the far right and nationalist circles in russia, so I am not sure how he would've turned eventually if he had the chance. They had one politician who was a great guy - Boris Nemtsov, but of course putin killed him immediately after he became a threat in 2015.
- I had read that he starts out that way. But he sure had more courage than I can imagine, speaking out against the corruption and kleptocracy there. Watching how many Americans are willing to live under an autocratic dictator when we have a much longer history of democracy tho.....😭
- Members of Congress were also there, but were not arrested. One reason why? It's literally illegal for DHS to bar any member of Congress from entering an immigration detention facility for the purposes of conducting oversight.

- Those socially created assumptions can really trip a person up, and also be an opportunity for uncovering our subconscious programming.
- Private prison profiteering off human misery. Also, not willing to allow elected reps inside. Not at all concerning, right?
- “The controversial 1,000-bed facility is owned by the private prison company GEO Group, which entered into a 15-year, $1 billion contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in February.” $1 BILLION dollars lining the pockets of a private prison company. www.insidernj.com/baraka-arres...
- It's not the same really. Putin's russia is the real russia. While America will be different in 2 years or 5 years... russia will always be the same. They have been that way for hundreds of years. They are deeply misanthropic, nihilistic and hate all personal freedoms and humanity.
- The Alexei Navalny's of Russia might disagree, but they have had centuries of history living under tsars and dictators.
- Maybe not Russia - maybe Putin's Russia. Just like we are America, but Trump's America really, really sucks.
- He is so very confident in his ignorance.
- Prosecutors say that as news of the crime spread, the two men exchanged messages relishing the outrage and sadness they caused. The tree in northern England was believed to be about 200 years old.

- This is the perfect place for some inspired judicial consequences....like sentencing them to plant a million trees.
- This rhymes with 'stop the COVID tests' - Trump is stopping NOAA tracking of weather disaster expenses. "The information is generally seen as standardized & unduplicable, given ..access to non-public data, & other private databases would be more limited... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
- They are consistently eliminating any data that could show how awful their policies are.

- NEW — I’ve obtained audio of new acting FEMA head David Richardson threatening staff in an all hands meeting this morning. As first reported by Reuters, he told those who resisted change in the agency, “Don’t get in my way…I will run right over you.” Listen to the clip here:

- But thank you for that article. It was well written and pointed, not to your original assertion that DEI is discrimination, but that DEI programs are hampered by their lack of data, operaționalizable terms, etc. The writer, in fact, concluded that they had intentionally created a very diverse team.
