Trump is 'in far over his head' — and it's only getting worse: analysis #AlterNet

😕

Don’t let this go by unnoticed

RUBIO: “Imagine if Iran spent billions on its people instead of weapons... They’d have a much different country.”🤔😕 Unreal. @marcorubio Do you even hear yourselves? Your shameless hypocrisy is killing us

A history of the top marginal tax rates on the wealthiest Americans: 1940: 81% 1950: 84% 1960: 91% 1970: 72% 1980: 70% 1990: 28% 2000: 40% 2010: 35% For 50 years, corporate backed politicians in Congress have slashed taxes to line the pockets of their wealthy donors.

Everyone should do this!

Also known as "using insider knowledge for war profiteering."

Truly unbelievable stuff. Just up there shamelessly lying his ass off

me paying $30 in gas to buy imported things that have been hit with tariffs bc joe rogan is learning about politics at age 58

The co-presidency continues.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

They don’t worry about war, gas prices, electric bills, and food prices on Fox & Friends, where they are serving up a healthy slice of nonsense and drivel for their audience.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Reminder that the US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined. Over half goes to private defense contractors. This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of — on steroids.

But they said he was “The peace president.” 🥴

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

Let me guess, wealthy people who moved to Dubai to avoid paying taxes now want the countries they moved from to protect them?

🚨 John Deere and Oracle have joined Mastercard, Deloitte, other corporations sponsoring Trump’s Freedom 250, the Christian nationalist-themed hijack of America’s birthday. A group of US senators led by Sen. Adam Schiff launched a probe into Trump admin’s fundraising tactics of Freedom 250.

The most mentioned location in the Epstein files isn't the island or ranch. It's Mar-A-Lago.

Not even trying to pretend that their process is legit.

The Conference of Catholic Bishops is... not playing around in this brief. www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25...

The American people’s tax money is going to ICE artillery and Kash Patel’s private jet to frat parties. Taxpayer revolt on Election Day, Nov 3.

Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.

I don’t know whether reports of an affair between Noem and Lewandowski are true, but they are more than “salacious” “gossip.” If true, they could be used as leverage over the official charged with protecting our homeland security. Clearances get denied for such things. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Tax cuts for giant corporations and the super rich. Paid for by cuts to the social safety net for everyone else. Trickle-up economics.

The newsroom Bezos once poured money into and celebrated as a proud achievement already lost 400 people in the last three years.

Corporatist fascism, plain and simple. DHS is trying to get tech companies to hand over data on Trump critics. This is unconstitutional, and Congress must shut it down, before we turn into East Germany. techcrunch.com/2026/02/03/h...

Jeff Bezos cozying up to Trump regime leader Pete Hegseth this week will not help Amazon. $AMZN

More threats from the guy who describes himself as a good Christian, loving Dad, working on his weaknesses. What is it about these keyboard trolls that they pump the white Christian dude thing? Anyways, this is his profile. ca.linkedin.com/in/dion-perr...

Needless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.

"Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come. This is one of them." Bill Clinton in new post www.mediaite.com/media/news/b...

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Corporate Media: stop citing the Trump Regime. You know they are lying, so by citing them you are just amplifying their lies, willingly collaborating with them against US.

Alex Pretti, who was fatally shot by Border Patrol agents on Saturday, was a registered nurse who worked in the ICU at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Minneapolis. “He wanted to be helpful, to help humanity and have a career that was a force of good in the world,” a colleague said. trib.al/0Yb3jXF

Trump deserves to be impeached and found guilty then tried in court and imprisoned for life.

"Why is it so normal for law enforcement — those who are supposed to be keepers of law and order — to kill Americans? And why is the only question at the end of the day how much their victims deserved to die?" Read more from @sarahjeong.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/policy/86745...

This can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this. Think about the message that sends to the next ones. Nobody is safe.

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing? ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW. I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

Zero percent chance this is true.

This is a pretty severe escalation from CBS, just straight up lying like this.

I don’t see how this country survives until 2029 unless Trump is impeached and removed. This level of lawless malice is not sustainable. What fresh horrors await us this week?

Mark Ruffalo donned an anti-ICE pin at the #GoldenGlobes in tribute to Renee Good, who was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer this week in Minneapolis. The black-and-white pin read “BE GOOD." Follow live updates from the show: apnews.com/live/golden-...

Tillis is spot on. The Senate can't confirm a Trump toady to succeed Powell at the Fed. The rest of the game is now out in the open, and it doesn't end well.

Congress should pass a law requiring agents to show their faces, identify themselves, & wear their badges. It’s not agent safety we have to worry about these days. End so-called Kavanaugh stops & admin warrant-based forced entry into homes too. Let’s have a Constitution.

Warner: "We've had American intervention in Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Nigeria, Venezuela, maybe Greenland where he would blow up NATO. Did you see the Brits and Germans are putting troops in Greenland because they want to send a message. How is this leading to price stability, bringing down costs?"

Trump is going to use DOJ/FBI to try to steal the 2026 election. My legal team and I will fight back in court but we all have a role to play. Tomorrow, I will offer my thoughts on what Trump is up to and what we need to do now. Subscribe to Democracy Docket for free to find out. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0
