An open letter to @KenPaxtonTX

Civilization literally cannot survive this degree of contractor rentseeking. Three years and a quarter-BILLION pounds for this construction is absolutely psychotic, a nation that can no longer build can only crumble.

The chuds got their marching orders on how to make the cattle feel better about a 5 dollars a gallon in gas, a useless war, and a historically unpopular President and it’s “LeTs KeEp It In PeRsPeCtIvE”

Looks like the original video got wiped so just in case those Nazi fucks try to hide the evidence: Here is the AFD playing techno remixed Nazi songs on their own livestream channel. Erika was the most popular Nazi marching song of the time. They didn't pick it by mistake.

Imgaine being the first trillionaire on planet earth only to constantly be embarrassed by the most random shit imaginable. Like who else is getting destroyed by the Chess .com account over and over and over again on his own website. Never seen anything like it

watch how easily the right wing hate machine turns whatever it wants into a target of unlimited enmity. they can't run on their policies because they're destroying the american working class. all they have is hate and division. when we are divided, we are weak.

So many people need to die before the world can move on dude its insane

Read that carefully. Gave up $474 million, got back just $41 million.

If I were president and I wanted to tank the dollar and get rich off it, here is exactly what I would do. I would hire a Treasury Secretary who already made $3.5 billion crashing another country's currency. I would put my guy in charge of the agency that approves bank charters. I would install a crypto czar with $200M in crypto holdings and give him an ethics waiver so nobody could challenge it. Then I would sign an executive order banning the government from ever creating a digital dollar so there was no competition. Then I would have my family launch their own private digital dollar. My family takes 75% of net profits. I would grow it to $4.6 billion in circulation and route a $2 billion Abu Dhabi sovereign fund deal through it to prove it works. Then I would get Congress to pass a law requiring every stablecoin in the country to hold short-term Treasury bills. Now every dollar of my digital currency is a forced buyer of government debt. Brookings projects $2.3 trillion in captive demand by 2030. Then I would have my OCC guy grant my family's company a federal bank charter. Now I can issue my digital dollar with federal authority. Then I would have my Treasury Secretary weaken the actual dollar. Bond buybacks that suppress yields but tank the currency. Build a $950 billion war chest for more. Let the debt hit $40 trillion. Dollar index drops to 99. Gold goes to highest point ever. Then I would kill the Corporate Transparency Act and delete the FinCEN beneficial ownership database. That was the one law that required every shell company in America to report who actually owns it. Without it, nobody can trace who is buying my stablecoin, who is routing money through it, or where the profits land. Then I would let the loop run. Weaker dollar drives demand for "stable" digital alternatives. The law I passed forces those alternatives to buy T-bills. That funds the government's debt. My family takes profit on every transaction. Foreign central banks walking away from Treasuries get replaced by legally mandated stablecoin reserves my family controls. Then I would use sanctions to start cutting countries off from the dollar system entirely. And when those countries need a new way to transact in dollars, the only federally chartered private digital dollar in existence is mine. They can buy it through shell companies nobody can trace because I deleted the ownership database. I just built a toll booth on the global financial system. I take a cut every time someone uses the dollar. And I made it so nobody can see who is paying. And every single step I just described has already happened. So what does that mean for you and I? The reason the United States can borrow at low rates and keep your mortgage and your car payment and your import prices stable is because foreign central banks hold trillions in dollar reserves. That system has always been public. The benefit went to everyone. Lower borrowing costs, cheaper goods , and the single biggest economic advantage any country has ever had. What I just described is the privatization of that function. The entity buying the debt is no longer a central bank acting in the public interest. It is a private company taking 75% of net profits for one family. The reserve function used to generate a public benefit. Now it generates a private fee. Your purchasing power shrinks every time the dollar weakens. Your 401k buys less in real terms. Everything you import costs more. And every time the dollar drops, demand for the private digital alternative goes up. The one the president's family owns. The one that by law must buy government debt. You absorb the cost of a weakening dollar. His family collects the profit. That is the trade. The enforcement mechanism to stop a sitting president from doing this? There isn't one. Former White House ethics lawyer Richard Painter says it would be a violation for literally any other federal employee, but not the president. Nobody voted for this. No one was asked. There was no debate. There is no enforcement mechanism. There is no one investigating it. The Senate tried and it was blocked. This is the largest conflict of interest in American history happening in broad daylight while everyone argues about something else. So what do you do? Share this. Make it impossible to ignore. Send it to your representative, your senator, every journalist you follow. We make them answer for it. Because the only thing protecting this scheme right now is the fact that not enough people understand it yet.

Holy shit. Something is happening in Texas. Trump won it by 40%, but Dems drew a crowd of over 2,750 in deep-red Bee County, more than the 2,606 votes Kamala Harris received in the ENTIRE COUNTY. ​Gina Hinojosa, who's running against Greg Abbott, was shocked: "Wow. Oh my gosh."

Are You a Socialist?

Can you guess how much the minimum wage would be today if it kept up with worker productivity over the years?

I can't believe Mitch McConnell died tomorrow

True story

These Black kids told these Latino neighbors to stay in their place because ICE was around looking for immigrants. So the Black kids all armed themselves with buckets of water, water guns, all the water they could get & threw it all over the ICE “agents”, the agents got so soaked they left. I love Black people, thank you for being protective of our community in the funniest way.

Reporter: Isn’t there concern that this slippery slope to socialism inevitably ends up as full-blown communism? AOC: I mean, no. I think that’s very silly. We can’t even raise the minimum wage. Do they really think communism is going to happen? No. They’re trying to scare people because they don’t want us talking about the fact that we all have a right to health care. So they want to call everything they don’t like communist because if people actually wake up to the fact that their elected officials are screwing them over when they get here, they’re going to realize they deserve better and that health care as a right isn’t crazy. They want to call this stuff communist because they don’t want us to realize that the rest of the developed world has guaranteed health care. They want to call it communist because they don’t want you to know that Germany, Italy, the UK, Canada—everybody else—has it better than us, and we spend the most money for the worst care in the developed world.

Deeply disturbing story. Survivors of US boat strikes allege they were kidnapped and tortured for days by the US military. The prosecutor investigating the claims was just assassinated.

1. Trump does so much crazy, corrupt shit that things can get lost. Last week, Trump embarked on what might be his most brazenly corrupt scheme yet, and it got far too little attention. Here's what you need to know:

What was once only visible from a distance, we could now reach out and grasp… Throughout history, humanity dreamed of Mars – but it was never within reach. That changed 50 years ago when NASA's Viking 1 lander touched down on the surface of the Red Planet on July 20, 1976.
