This is not an accident. Susan Collins thought she could get away with it — because under the criminal Trump regime, committing fraud is seen as a virtue.
James Carville on Graham Platner: “Maybe we need a combat veteran on that Senate who is fucked up. Who every time these assholes go to vote for another war, Susan Collins voted for all of them, maybe they need to look at this guy before they start sending young people off to fight wars and see what the consequence of it is”
@MikeLevin@clearwater737 All of the benefits of our collective tax dollars that average people benefitted from are being eliminated. Why are regular Americans even paying taxes anymore? So billionaires and the police state can benefit? Do we get nothing? Is quality of life only for the ultra rich now?
🔥🔥🔥 TRUMP & EPSTEIN ARE SEX TRAFFICKERS & I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared.
With the shooting in Toledo, Ohio - it might be a good time to point out that since Trump’s 2nd term: Republicans introduced zero gun reform bills, despite almost 600 mass shootings - while introducing over 800 restrictive voting bills, despite only 40 cases of voter fraud.
Albania has officially drawn the
line, Sazan 'lsland is being cleared. In an stunning turn of events, Albanian authorities have
launched an active enforcement operation to kick
out foreign developers and private security
personnel occupying Sazan Island. The decisive
action marks a total collapse of the controversial €1.4 billion luxury real estate deal that aimed to turn the protected national marine reserve and
former military base into an exclusive private playground for global elites,
The eviction comes after four consecutive weeks of historic
hundred-thousand-strong protests that completely
shut down the capital city of Tirana, refusing to allow their native coastlines and ecologically sensitive wetlands to be privatized by foreign
investors, the Albanian public unified under a
single, unyielding demand: "Albania is not for sale, the courts faced with a historic political crisis, mounting
domestic fury, and a widening anti-corruption
investigation by special prosecutors (SPAK), the
government was forced to pivot, by deploying state forces to reclaim Sazan lsland, Albania has
sent a clear message to international billionaires
and foreign developers trying to bypass environmental protection laws, This historic victory for citizen-led activism proves that the collective voice of a nation can successfully overpower backroom corporate deals and protect sovereign land.
The people spoke, and the
government had to listen.
D-Day wasn’t about keeping desperate refugees out of Europe.
It was about defeating a fascist regime that treated human beings as less than human.
Hegseth using that anniversary to score cheap political points is cynical, disgusting & fucking shameful.
#BREAKING: Rep Madeleine Dean: “…I said to him, Mr Acting Attorney-General [Todd Blanche], when are you going to prosecute? So far we have one dead guy [#Epstein] and one woman in a Summer Camp [Ghislaine Maxwell]. When are you going to prosecute those who victimized, trafficked, abused, raped girls and women, more than a thousand of them? He blamed the victims. He said they really haven’t come forward with the names…right then I knew the coverup was complete.”😳
Albanians are fighting harder against their land being stolen to build Epstein Island 2 than Americans ever fought against our CEOs, politicians, and presidents being in the Epstein files and raping children.
What Albanians are doing is extraordinary. Time for us to do the same!
These are all programs that Trump has cut funding for and I’m curious where all this money went! Why aren’t we asking questions. Why isn’t Congress asking questions! 🤬
Today is the one year anniversary of when South African Space Nazi Elon Musk admitted to stealing the 2024 election for a convicted felon who he already knew was a child-raping pedophile, Donald trump. He can try to deny he ever said it, but screenshots are forever.
Yesterday Donald Trump tripled the size of his personal political army inside the government. Illegally. And almost no one noticed.
Here's what happened:
He signed an order converting ~8,000 of the most senior career officials in government into employees he can fire for any reason, or no reason at all.
These aren't rando's. They're the directors, chiefs of staff, and the people who write the rules or decide who gets federal money, i.e. the lieutenants right below his political appointees.
Until yesterday, they answered to the law. Now they answer to him.
A president normally gets ~4,000 political appointees. People he can bring into government and fire at will. I was one of them at DHS. You serve at his pleasure, full stop -- so if you're gonna speak truth to power, you're prepared to quit (or get fired if he doesn't like it).
The rest of the federal government is PROTECTED from firing if they tell the truth.
But Trump just stripped those protections. Adding 8,000 more people to his personal army. Overnight. Without asking Congress.
With the stroke of a pen, those people now serve at the pleasure of the president. They're "his" people, whether they like it or not.
And the chilling effect is real. An official who can be fired this afternoon for "subversion of presidential directives" (the order's own words) doesn't need to be hand-picked to know what's expected of him or her.
The threat does all the work.
By the way, this order is illegal. The law only lets Trump reclassify jobs when "necessary" in exceptional circumstances. And this blows an 8,000-person hole in the merit hiring / firing system created by Congress.
Without permission, Trump has created a whole new category of stormtroopers inside the Executive Branch.
If this doesn't get challenged in court, you're going to see the U.S. government become a very different place.
