- Reposted by Janet BWe’re expecting another vote later today on the crypto-friendly bill that would enable Trump’s corruption. Your Democratic senator needs to hear from you ASAP if they’re on this list: indivisible.org/resource/cal...
- Reposted by Janet BTrump’s stablecoin is shady and a national security risk. He’s cashing in on foreign crypto deals—and weakening guardrails that protect our advanced technology. The Senate shouldn’t greenlight this corruption by passing the GENIUS Act without fixes.
- Reposted by Janet BThe provision doesn't just affect AI. It blocks *all* state laws regulating *any use of a computer.* That includes privacy, kids online safety, online fraud, nonconsensual pornography, anything. The bill text sloppily defines AI to sweep in any use of a computer and its exceptions are broken.

- Reposted by Janet BTHREAD: We recently heard that the Trump administration was leaning on the government of Gambia to help Elon Musk. For weeks, our team made phone calls, wrote letters and knocked on folks’ doors to try to confirm it. But we were stuck. So our reporters got on a plane to Banjul. 1/

- Reposted by Janet BThe man who wanted to ban all Muslims from entering the United States because of terrorism is meeting this week with the former head of Al Qaeda in Syria.
- Reposted by Janet BThere is zero legitimate reasons for any Democrats to support privitized CrimeBucks. Cryptocurrency is fundamentally a scam that seeks to destroy the US treasury and is backed by leading fascists. It’s a complete betrayal of the people if Democrats help them.
- The word is that @gallego.senate.gov + @markwarner.bsky.social are trying again to gather Dem votes to advance the shady GENIUS Act that will end up helping the Trump family to get richer off crypto this Thursday. Call you Sens today 202-224-3121 ask them to vote against the dumb GENIUS bill.

- Reposted by Janet BTrump’s meme coin is a vessel for corruption—allowing millions in foreign money to flow freely into his pockets. “Donald Trump is essentially posting his Venmo for any billionaire CEO or foreign oligarch to cash in some favors by secretly sending him millions of dollars," Senator Chris Murphy said.

- Reposted by Janet Byou want to know one reason people are losing trust in the media? it’s the total inability to call things what they are some guy on YouTube: “wow this is the most corrupt shit I’ve ever seen” the Times: “critics say it raises appearance of impropriety” who are people going to take seriously?
- Reposted by Janet BTrump wants a $1 trillion slush fund for the Pentagon — the only federal agency that has NEVER passed an audit. And that’s as he’s trying to cut essential things people rely on like Medicaid, education, and affordable housing.
- Reposted by Janet BEXCLUSIVE: Rep. Dan Goldman demands AG Pam Bondi come clean on if she is covering up the release of the Epstein Files to protect Donald Trump. In a blistering letter, Goldman demands answers on the unexplained delay.

- Reposted by Janet BThis is nuts.
- Reposted by Janet BThere is no moral center to this administration. He has given everyone around him, and everyone afraid of him, permission to step off any kind of ethical path. All bets are off. Anything is possible. There are no boundaries left on the inside. It's about time the press started covering it that way
- Reposted by Janet BThis isn't even true as a matter of a dictionary definition. Bribery requires a quid pro quo, but corruption does not!
- Reposted by Janet BCreating a problem and then demanding praise for fixing it. A pattern.
- Excellent NYT graphic. In the space of about 3 months, tariffs on China: -- doubled; -- went up ≈ 2.5X from there; -- roughly doubled again; -- went up ≈ 40% from there; -- and now have dropped ≈ 80% from the peak -- but are still 3X what they were in February. www.nytimes.com/article/trum...
- Reposted by Janet BIt will be fascinating to watch everyone who acted like Biden was a socialist for lowering drug costs and stood by and watched as Republicans opposed him suddenly pretend this is a new idea from Trump.
- Reposted by Janet Bwe have a secretary of -transportation making it more dangerous to travel -education making kids stupider -defense making us more vulnerable to attacks -homeland security making us feel less secure than ever -health and human services trying to spread illness everything’s fine.
- Reposted by Janet BTrump’s executive action on prescription drug prices is an act of desperation. It’s not legal, not enforceable, and won’t lower costs one cent. Just another bullshit stunt to make it look like he’s doing something to help people—another distraction from the rampant corruption in Washington.
- Reposted by Janet BI worked for the VA for over a decade longer than Doug Collins and I can promise you that cutting jobs will kill Veterans. The VA was already woefully understaffed thanks to Republicans constantly curtailing funding and benefits.
- Secretary of VA Doug Collins has been adamant that staff cuts will not affect veterans' health care. In a contentious Senate hearing Tuesday, he accused Democrats of fearmongering. "We've always said that we're going to keep frontline health care." #VA #veterans www.npr.org/2025/05/10/n...
- Reposted by Janet BThe GOP wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but they’re cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right?
- Reposted by Janet BSo many videos are circulating of ICE agents acting with cruelty and aggression. Behavior that eerily mirrors the “domestic terrorism” they claim to oppose. No one is forcing them to act this way; it’s a choice.
- Reposted by Janet BOur trade deal so far is no tariffs on Rolls Royces and Bentleys and our refugee policy is white South Africans only.
- Reposted by Janet BHoly shiitake! Trump fired Shira Perlmutter, the Director of the US Copyrights Office apparently because she refused to let Elon Musk raid the place to steal author’s intellectual property rights democrats-cha.house.gov/media/press-...
- Reposted by Janet BNPR: “A record 575 anti-LGBTQ bills filed in states through April...” (TN among the most) It’s not Dems that keep making trans rights the focus of every legislative session. It’s Republicans. To distract from the real issues they won’t address.
- Reposted by Janet BThe Trump Administration is openly talking about suspending the writ of habeas corpus if the courts continue to rule against them. They don't have the authority to do that – and their threats are as reckless and irresponsible as they are dangerous. Let's break it down. youtu.be/3G_A99z5xLo?...
- Reposted by Janet BNo matter what this Administration tells the American people, the law is very clear: Members of Congress have a legal right to enter any DHS detention facility to conduct oversight without prior notice - something I’ve done twice this year without issue.

- Reposted by Janet BPoisoning the air of a Black community for a fucking chatbot.
- Reposted by Janet BThis is such an excellent point and media should be reporting it this way. (This is in reference to Miller’s preposterous but still dangerous claim earlier today about the executive branch considering suspending the writ)

- Reposted by Janet BSave and share. Maybe email or tag Byron Donalds and Kash Patel.
- Reposted by Janet BDonald Trump's tariffs mean you could suffer higher prices and lose your job AT THE SAME TIME. Forget dolls, families will be forced to make impossible choices between necessities like food, housing, and health care.
