Look at this loathsome repulsive creature yelling at a reporter. In addition to the fact that he’s the worst president in US history, he’s one of the worst human beings on planet earth. His supporters have a very serious defect in their character.

Think about what Fox hosts are now defending: A president who says that he will borrow $1.2 trillion more dollars to give everyone a check, which future generations will have to pay back, but only if his political party wins the next election. If they don’t win, you get nothing.

If the money Trump claims to pay is tied to an election result, it isn’t a “cash payment” or “dividend” or “rebate” or “stimulus.” It is a bribe. Plain and simple. Calling it anything else accepts a false premise and helps Trump and Republicans cover up how corrupt it truly is.

Trump fucks up the economy with his tariffs, raises gas prices for every American with his foolish war, piles on to the national debt with his budget & wasteful spending on vanity projects, covers up Epstein, makes billions for himself, then starts yelling about communism to distract.

Trump’s tariffs were never about the American economy or American businesses. They were, like everything else, just another Mob Boss extortion racket to enrich Trump and his cronies.

Trump and his sons ripped off nearly one million of their supporters and made a fortune producing nothing of value for anyone. Blood sucking leeches, using the US presidency to do it. And they couldn’t care less and their cult doesn’t seem to mind. Strange times in America.

The corruption is staggering in scale and scope, it doesn’t stop, and Republicans in Congress refuse to do any oversight because, as Mike Johnson admitted this week, they serve as a protection racket to cover up the crimes of the regime.

I have shocking news to report: An hour in to the NATO summit and Trump has already make a complete ass of himself on the world stage again, trashing our closest allies for decades while praising Putin and Erdogan and ranting one lie after another.

After this Iran deal fiasco, are Republicans still going to claim that the addled dementia patient in the WH is some kind of master deal maker / tough guy / brilliant strategist? I suppose when you are this far into the con most of them have to ride it out to the end.

The DOJ is attempting to punish the Southern Poverty Law Center for its efforts to monitor and expose white supremacists and neo-Nazis, according to a new filing from SPLC. The center is just the latest defendant to accuse the DOJ of abusing its powers to carry out Trump’s retribution campaign.

Survivor of Jeffrey Epstein breaks down in tears describing the moment she learned her name was revealed while the rich and powerful remained protected by redactions Roza: I kept my identity protected as Jane Doe. I woke up one day with my name mentioned over 500 times.

Perfect campaign ad for the upcoming Midterms. 👌

PabloReports: Ted Cruz called you a parasite and disparaged your work as a bartender. AOC: I think it’s funny that he’s been taking a government paycheck for 23 years but has the audacity to criticize someone who has come from a family that had to work their way up and earn their place here.

The Epstein case is so bad the government gave you a war, a new virus, and aliens to keep you distracted from it. Sit with that as long as you need.

"Putting aside the ethical problems entailed by allowing wealthy CEOs and corporations to donate undisclosed amounts to fund special government projects at the behest of the administration, Trump’s promise was a joke." On the taxpayer-funded ballroom:

The First Amendment is clear: The federal government can't punish media organizations just because it doesn't like what they have to say. By fighting back, ABC is sending an important message: Our rights are worth fighting for.

But Trump’s economic advisers and Republicans in Congress will go on CNBC with big smiles and insist everything is great.

Still waiting for the first hero to stand up and say something to Trump as he berates and personally attacks another female reporter who asked a legitimate question. It will probably never happen because some things are more important than decency and courage. I guess.

Based on this Virginia ruling, the Tennessee and Florida maps should both also be shot down. If not, Virginia should just pull a Tennessee and change the rules to ram it though the legislature. 🤷‍♂️

Pete Buttigieg took a brief leave when his son was in the ICU and Republicans still attack him for it to this day. But Duffy goes on an extended vacation to shoot a reality show while there are all sorts of pressing problems with air travel and Fox News thinks it's awesome. Beyond parody.

oh my god -- Sean Duffy on Fox & Friends this morning announced that he spent parts of *7 MONTHS* (more than half a year!) on a roadtrip with his family to celebrate America's 250th anniversary

It’s staggering How swiftly states in the South can still move to stymie Black voters And how ready they were to do so

🚨 BREAKING: The NAACP filed an emergency lawsuit to block Tennessee's new congressional gerrymander, arguing the GOP’s rushed effort to dismantle the state’s lone majority-Black district was unconstitutional and illegal from the start.

30 percent of Americans are against [squints at notes] the Pope urging peace

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social burns a confederate flag in the rotunda after the House passed 9-0 maps stripping Memphis of representation… #Memphis #JimCrow @MarshaBlackburn @GovBillLee

Unearthed reports reveal that RFK Jr. fired every full-time CDC cruise ship sanitation inspector ahead of the Hantavirus cruise ship outbreak. www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-cru...

The ballroom was supposed to cost taxpayers nothing. Now Senate Republicans want $1 billion for “security” upgrades tied to Trump’s East Wing project, buried inside a bill to fund his mass deportation push. @cheetah.bsky.social has the story.

These deaths are on him as well as the parents he has misled.

Gas prices skyrocketed, 14 service members are dead, and the Secretary of War doesn’t know how much the war in Iran is costing Americans. But the House introduced a resolution to condemn Hasan Piker. I want a bipartisan coalition to end the war and take on the Epstein class.

I know we get inured to stuff, but it is hard to fathom the cruelty here. At a time of tax cuts for the most powerful, they are trying to remove basic supports for the most vulnerable. The Trump administration's war on people with disabilities continues.

Virginia Giuffre’s family is bringing together survivors calling for the release of the 3 million Epstein files still being covered up. I get texts from survivors every day asking why there are no investigations and prosecutions of men who abused them?

Oh hey, “private donations” are no longer paying for the ballroom. Who could have seen that coming?

"Small wonder that Clarence Thomas prefers the Gilded Age over the Progressive Era," writes @rbreich.bsky.social. "He’s the living embodiment of the Gilded Age’s public-be-damned excesses."

“DEAD LAST” As Tennessee Republicans & Gov. Lee steer hundreds of millions yearly to private school vouchers, we are dead last in per pupil public school spending.

We did! We passed a bill to fund the Secret Service and TSA and FEMA 100-0. If Speaker Johnson would just call it for a vote, it would pass. That’s the problem.

Epstein survivors will have a public forum midday on Capitol Hill led by Rep Ro Khanna (D-CA)… after not being permitted an audience with King Charles tomorrow

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

Nobody knows how to use a shooting for his personal benefit quite like Trump.

I predicted for months that taxpayers were going to end up paying for the ballroom. That’s because Trump had “pledges” from people to contribute money to pay for it, not checks. Now Republicans have the excuse they need to make us pay for it. “Customs duties” is bs. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Voters don’t need to “remember” anything. They see every day what they are paying for gas, groceries, electricity and everything else and they see Republicans prioritizing taxpayer money for Trump’s ballroom bunker palace. They will take that to the ballot box. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Republicans want an astonishing, debt-exploding $1.5 trillion military budget, more for ICE, billions to bail out failing airlines, and $400 million for Trump’s ballroom. They are looting the treasury and fleecing taxpayers to pay for Trump’s endless wars and vanity projects.

He will vote for it.

And taxpayers have to pay to line the pockets of this grifting traitor thanks the Trump’s mafia DOJ.

Mexico didn’t pay for the wall, Trump gold cards didn’t balance the budget, there are no $2,000 DOGE or tariff refund checks, and donors aren’t paying for the ballroom.

If Melania wants Jimmy Kimmel fired for hateful rhetoric, someone should introduce her to her husband

Good for them. The American public should have some input into this. Trump did this completely on his own now wants us to pay for it.

It was never going to be America First. It is Billionaires First and always.

February 5, 2025. Trump announces he is going to build a new ballroom at the WH and pay for it with his own money: “It’s going to cost nothing. I will spend the whole thing myself.”

Republicans are also working on another bailout for farmers from taxpayers after Trump screwed them over again with tariffs and increased costs caused by his war. We all have to pay Trump voters (mostly) for Trump’s failed policies while they continue to vote Republican.
