It’s so confusing…

FACT : BIDEN PUT THE WORLDS LARGEST DEALER OF BLACK MARKET FENTANYL IN PRISON...👍💯 TRUMP SOLD HIM A PARDON 🙄

"I said to Trump, you know, 4 days before the war started, if you do this, you know, the United States will be kicked out of the Gulf. The American Empire will begin to collapse. Your legacy will be destroyed along with your party. I said this to Trump to his face in the Oval Office days before the war began, and he looked at me and said, 'Yes, you're right. But in the end, we all die anyway, so it doesn't matter.' That's exactly what he said. 'In the end, we all die anyway.'" Tucker Carlson, in an interview released yesterday with NPR

A nursing home boss stole his workers' Social Security and Medicare money. He got 18 months and $4.4M restitution. A Mar-a-Lago dinner erased it. If pardons go to whoever can afford a plate, workers get robbed twice: once by him, once by the system. #TrumpsCorruptCongress #DemsUnited

This might be the most brutal and deserved community note I’ve ever seen.

guess the memo went out. take a look at this psyop

Many thanks to Brian Krassenstein! “The weirdest thing about leaving America is realizing how much of America is just a sales pitch. You spend your whole life hearing “greatest country on Earth,” then you go overseas and see clean trains, safer streets, affordable medicine, cities where people can walk without playing Frogger with an SUV, and workers who take vacations without acting like they committed treason. And then you come home. You come home to potholes, medical debt, school shooting drills, $17 airport sandwiches, people living in tents under highways, politicians wearing flag pins (or worse, gun pins) while doing absolutely nothing for the people standing in food bank lines, and billionaires being treated like they’re the fragile ones. And somehow we’re all supposed to stand there, hand over heart, and pretend this is normal. I don’t hate America. I hate what America has been taught to tolerate. I hate that we call basic things “radical.” Healthcare? Radical. Paid leave? Radical. Clean air? Radical. Kids not getting shot in math class? Somehow political. Meanwhile, the loudest “patriots” are usually the same people telling struggling Americans to shut up, stop complaining, and be grateful. Grateful for what? A flag doesn’t pay rent. A bald eagle doesn’t cover insulin. Fireworks don’t fix bridges. And chanting “USA” doesn’t make a broken system less broken. America has incredible people. That’s the tragedy. The people are better than the system they’ve been forced to defend. So no, I’m not going to call America the greatest country on Earth just because it has the best marketing department. Real patriotism isn’t pretending the country is perfect. Real patriotism is being angry that it isn’t” - Brian Krassenstein

In case anyone was wondering why Trump is pushing AI so hard and doesn’t want any government regulation.

Ken Paxton deletes his tweet referring to Cypress, Texas as “Cyprus” after @JamesTalarico calls him out.

Way to go, President Trump!! Getting Greenland and Denmark to agree to the deal that we signed with them in April 1951 was a stroke of diplomatic strategery bar none. #Greenland

Can you imagine if President Obama had said he was going to change the name of the Kennedy Center to his name and if it doesn't happen he will demolish it? Can you imagine the insanity that would transpire from Republicans? WTF are we doing? We gotta rally and stop this BS now

I just signed new laws protecting your ballot and STOPPING Trump’s attacks on vote-by-mail — making it a felony to seize ballots or interfere with our elections. Trump can try all he wants. California WILL protect your right to vote!

America First. 🙄

Like @AshleyMoodyFL, @byrondonalds did nothing after Trump released adjudicated terrorists and sex predators back into Florida. He can't keep Florida safe!

Mike Johnson: “If we were to lose the midterms, heaven forbid, these Democrats, y'all impeachment's not even the big concern. They will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they'll go after the president's family, the cabinet…”

And so here we are. This statement from Trump blows my mind. That a sitting president would not let any renovations to a public building go on unless he gets to first put his name in the said building… What a sad state of affairs. What a tragedy. Actually, how small minded, how narcissistic. Actually great men, devoted to public service and the public good do not act like this. It seems that this man will not rest until his name is permanently connected to the name of a great president, whose memory this building was dedicated to. Imagine spending your time and your days focused on this, as everyday Americans struggle with healthcare, gas prices, rent, and food. Imagine spending your days focused on this, while a war rages under your leadership. Enough said. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

People keep saying Trump term II is the most corrupt administration ever, so I built a model to find out if it was true. I took the UN's definition of corruption, turned it into eight criteria and 100 points, and scored the leaders history remembers for looting their countries: Marcos, Suharto, Mobutu, Abacha, Obiang, Putin. Then I put every president since Eisenhower on the same scale, both parties, with every exoneration counted right alongside the convictions. Nixon scored 41 and no other American President scored over a 25. Trump's second term scored a 91, which ties him with Suharto and Mobutu and puts him above Marcos and Abacha. So he is not only the most corrupt president in American history. At this pace he finishes his term level with the most corrupt rulers of the last hundred years. PSA: don't come in my comments arguing about the results if you haven't read the full article, because ignorance is a choice. Full article is up now on my Substack (link in bio) and it's free.

18 months ago, Trump was yelling at Zelenskyy that he didn’t have any cards and was about to lose the war. Now he’s begging him to stop bombing Russia.
