Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

Forbes has been tracking Trump's wealth since the early 80s. They described Trump's first year back in office as "the most lucrative year of [Trump's] life." And it's not even close. Trump is earning hundreds of millions more than he ever has.

Trump: "I didn't go to Congress. Remember Sleepy Joe? 'Oh, if they would give me approval in Congress!' You're not gonna get approval. You just do it. You're the president."

Texas - Lt. Governor Polling: 🔵 Goodwin: 49% 🔴 Patrick: 46%* UT / Oct 5, 2026

Remember that Republicans believe that the first spike there, caused entirely by Putin's invasion of Ukraine, is actually Joe Biden's fault while the second spike there, caused entirely by Trump's war on Iran, is also Joe Biden's fault.

Stop putting off that thing you wanted to do

this really is impeachable for any president, but really grotesque coming from a regime that cut life-saving development aid because they said it was not efficient

Sure, the 2024 election was one too, but 2026 might be the clearest intelligence test ever presented to the American electorate. Taken at face value, he's saying he stole hundreds of billions from the gov't, hid it somewhere Congress can't reach, and he pinky swears he will give you a piece. Really.

"Whatever comes from the top down is freedom; whatever comes from the bottom up is bullying and censorship."

The president of the United States standing in front of the world and saying "To the victor belong the spoils" is just beyond comprehension. The fool is going to end the world unless we end his tyrannical reign first

These allegations are a bombshell: the FBI informant claims Collins was in a pay-to-play scheme where donors to her Super-PAC were rewarded with government contracts. Trump stopped the investigation when he came into his office second term. As Collins would say, "concerning"

Trumpism is like climate change: it's already here, it has done irreparable damage, and even if we take action now we'll be dealing with it's impact for the rest of our lives.

I'm back, I missed you all. Since this is an important subject I know too much about, here's a 🧵 explaining that AI Safety Is Mostly A Sex Cult. I don't think these people should make policy. (1/?) (alternative title: Time For Some Cult Theory)

Since becoming president again, Trump has promised: -$5000 stimulus checks via "DOGE dividend" -$2000 stimulus checks via "tariff dividend" -$1000+ checks via "savings" from expiring ACA subsidies -$5000 "dividend" if Rs win midterms No checks have been issued www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-magi...

Have seen this Nature piece about the effects of X's algorithm mentioned again and it bears repeating; exposure to a right wing algorithm makes you - measurably and predictably - more right wing, even after you stop using it. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Space data centers being a thing essentially requires you to hit a 5 way parlay on: SpaceX actually cuts launch costs by 1-2 OOMs, AI has infinite returns to scale, terrestrial permitting issues are unsurmountable, chip production is no longer a constraint, and rad hardening/cooling in space is easy

There's no forgiving this. No living it down. It's a stain on our humanity. When all this is over, the monsters who did this should be pariahs. And the soulless thugs who cheered it on while dehumanizing Haitian immigrants should be reminded of what they did every day of their lives.

JUST IN: Judge Talwani has again blocked the Trump administration's mail-in ballot overhaul for the 2026 elections, saying it imposes onerous requirements and threatens to disenfranchise voters / harm states. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I want to expand on this in a short thread. Fascism sucks. It is also not going away: it is an effectively permanent part of modern representative politics because it is an effectively permanent part of human nature. We have to be prepared to push back against it, basically forever.

You can’t talk about debt without talking about how we got into a bad predicament, and there’s only one correct answer: tax cuts enacted this century

50 Senators let a Weekend News Anchorman run the Pentagon because they were afraid a gameshow host would yell at them

Abolish this agency. Burn it to the ground. Scatter the ashes. Imprison those involved.

Trump II has profound consequences that will last a century: -destruction of administrative state & civil service -extreme wealth concentration, tech oligarchy -climate rollbacks -end of rule of law w/o pushback incentivizes future backsliding -Iran Pundits hate this because it sounds shrill

People are determined to believe that Trump has an unusually large, unusually loyal group of strong supporters and the survey data just doesn't show that.

trump set $82B of American investments on fire to protect his allies in the oil industry and petrostates

There were two entities: America 250, a bipartisan organization chartered by Congress, and Freedom 250, a Trump-backed group. Companies intending to donate to America250 were supplied routing and account numbers that directed their funds to Freedom 250. wapo.st/4fe4Whs

They're plundering the national treasury.

No, see, "overruled 90 years of precedent in order to expand presidential power" is the way *critics* describe it. *Your* side says: resisting intrusion into core executive functions, protecting the sanctity of the separation of powers, and acknowledging that the precedent has been whittled away.

additionally, if there is ANY possible non racist motive for an explicitly racist action, Alito says you must accept it as the actual motivation. meanwhile, ANY use of race consciousness to prevent or alleviate discrimination is unconstitutional under “equal protection”

"I run the protection program" -- ie. GOP Congress exists to protect Trump's corruption from oversight

this court is monstrous, completely out of control, and must be packed until its power is broken that was true yesterday, that is true today, and that will be true tomorrow even if they do hand Trump a defeat on birthright citizenship

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

Federal education budget: $76 billion Federal housing budget: $84 billion Federal food stamp budget: $102 billion Amount Donald Trump promised Iran as part of his surrender deal: $300 billion (minimum required investment)

Trump is not just a bad president. He's the Confederacy in control of the White House. Not merely an administration violating the Constitution in this or that particular matter, a regime fundamentally without legal validity in all respects whatsoever. A rebellion against the supreme law of the land.

In the last 18 months, Congress has given DHS $240 billion — a quarter of a trillion.

Federal government employment is down 333k since the start of 2025 amidst DOGE cuts—that's more than 11% of the Federal workforce The large drop last October was caused by many workers who had been on deferred resignation becoming officially unemployed

IMO, the Texas Senate race is a pure tossup. And if you take a deep and fair look at the data, I think you'll find you have a hard time concluding otherwise www.gelliottmorris.com/p/the-texas-...

Trump’s “weaponization fund” and ban on future IRS audits is his latest impeachable offense—using the machinery of government and billions in taxpayer dollars to reward allies, pay off insurrectionists, and shield himself, his family, and associates from accountability. Impeach now.

A true fact about Trump's stock trading- I ran the numbers and Trump traded up to ~$700 million in stock in Q1 of 2026. All 535 Members of Congress made a total of ~$635 million worth of trades in 2025. So Trump bought and sold more stock in 3 months than all of Congress put together did last year

the president is raiding the treasury to put your tax dollars into this mans personal checking account as a reward for what hes doing in this picture

Trump plans to steal $1.7B from taxpayers to pay off the terrorists he already freed from prison. abcnews.com/US/trump-poi...

Depending on how you reckon some ambiguous cases, SCOTUS has applied the 'principle' somewhere in the ballpark of 17 to 20 times since Purcell itself twenty years ago. Of those, 15 to 17 (again depending on how you count a few deadlock cases w/ no majority) were wins for Republicans over Dems. 85%+

IRS officials considering settling a lawsuit with the guy who could fire them

Supreme Court today: We'll allow Alabama Republicans to change the congressional map in the primary election even though absentee voting has literally already started Supreme Court last December: November's too late to strike down the GOP's map in TX's March primary election!!

The only president or major party candidate in half a century not to disclose his tax returns—who fought for years, at taxpayer expense, to keep them private, and lost—now wants the IRS to MORE THAN DOUBLE HIS NET WORTH at taxpayer expense as a part of the systematic pillaging he calls a presidency.
