History fanatic and political junkie by night, Midwestern sales rep by day. Trying, and failing miserably to make sense of our newly f*cked up world. Organize. Resist.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

His Russian handlers call him KRASNOV. He’s going to attack Iran. Bet on it. He will move on Iran as the economy crashes and he hopes we haven’t seen this movie before. The war will distract from the failed economy and everyone will be expected to support their Commander in Chief in a time of war.

My profession is mortgage brokerage and I've done it for over 20 years. When you read National Mortgage Professional magazine, consider that it's by consumer finance pros, for other mortgage pros. Amongst many, this line stands out: "Annihilating the CFPB should be unthinkable."

Kristi Noem: “you can’t trust the government.” Dana Bash: “you are the government.” If the Trump Administration can’t trust itself, why should you?
BASH: I remember a time when Republicans were very careful about the government having access to personal data NOEM: Well, we can't trust the government anymore BASH: You are the government

I pointed out something similar a few weeks ago, but beyond just mocking the media for their stupid complicity here, these articles should be a direct refutation of the admin's claims that "The American People Voted For This." Because they literally promised they weren't going to do this.
This Politico story from last October shows how easy it is to launder lies through the press. It claimed Trump would ban anyone tied to Project 2025 from a job in a second Trump administration. “Clearly people working on Project 2025 are blacklisted,” said an unidentified Trump insider. 1/4🧵

Make no mistake: Trump is trying to ban clean energy outright. He doesn't care that clean energy is good for the environment AND the economy, making our air and water cleaner while also lowering energy costs and creating jobs. All Trump cares about is helping his Big Oil friends get richer.
