If a nurse gives a Senator $50 to vote for Medicare for All, it's illegal.

But Larry Ellison, worth $202 billion, spent $45 million to get Trump elected. So Trump is helping his family control:

CBS
CNN
TikTok
HBO
TNT
MTV
BET
And more

That’s a corrupt campaign finance system.

Why you take us for fools, Mike?

A 57-year-old veteran in Kentucky who served this country just lost his food stamps because his disability pay disqualified him from the new work requirements.

A 62-year-old woman in Ohio just lost her Medicaid.

A grandparent raising their grandchildren just learned they have to prove 80 hours of work a month to keep food on the table, or lose everything.

Mike Johnson calls this "REAL RELIEF for hardworking Americans."

The same bill gave a $75,000 tax cut to every millionaire in America.

The same bill cut $700 billion from Medicaid.

The same bill cut 4 million people from food stamps, 72% of them working households.

The same bill adds $4.5 trillion to the national debt your kids will pay.

They didn't cut spending because the country needed it. They cut spending because they needed an excuse to cut taxes for their donors.

That's not relief. That's mugging the American people, and now you want a medal for it?

Apparently @elonmusk finds it embarrassing that his own Grok Baby called him the number one source of misinformation on X

So please don’t share this to far and wide 🙏

The Trump administration just killed a federal program that hundreds of small farmers relied on to survive, and the damage is already landing.

The program paid farmers full market price for their crops, then routed that fresh food to food banks and the families who needed it. 

In California alone, it supported roughly 870 farms across more than 50 counties, moved 23 million pounds of food, and put over $60 million directly into local economies. For many, it was the most reliable buyer they had.

Then the White House pulled the plug, right as farmers were buying seeds for spring. Contracts already in motion were canceled mid-delivery. Three years of funding these growers had planned around vanished overnight.

Without those federal dollars, the future is more uncertain than ever for these farms and the millions of hungry families they feed. 

That is the pattern. Slash a program that feeds seniors and supports farmers, save almost nothing, and call it winning.

They will NOT make a billionaire contribute to the basic needs of the community BUT they will make the whole community bear the electrical, water, and building costs of a data center owned by a billionaire.

Let me tell you what just got reported, because you will not believe it until you see it laid out.

The Trump administration cut a billion-dollar tungsten deal with Kazakhstan. Tungsten is the metal we need for missile warheads, fighter jets, and computer chips. Trump himself got on the phone to close it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked it from the inside, sending letters, leaning on the Kazakh president, lining up as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing.

Within weeks of those negotiations, investors tied to a firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took a 20% stake in an entity connected to the very same Kazakhstan project their father was negotiating. Around that same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Lutnick’s own sons, raised $210 million for a partner in the deal and pocketed the fees.

The fathers set the policy. The sons cashed in.

Six days after the Trump sons and their partners moved their money, Lutnick signed the final deal.

The reporting found one or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies working with the government on critical mining deals.

The total federal funding flowing toward those companies tops $8.9 billion.

This is your tax money.

It is supposed to secure our supply chains and protect our troops, not pad the portfolios of the President’s children and the Commerce Secretary’s children.

This is the most corrupt administration in American history. It is not close.

We must keep digging, and keep asking the questions they do not want asked. Republicans in Congress are unwilling to lift a finger. Mike Johnson is running a protection racket.

Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

@OccupyDemocrats Excellent. It couldn't happen to a more deserving c- uh, individual. I don't care if it's unlikely to succeed. It's past time to call her out. Now do the rest of the cabinet.

Ossoff: There is this beautiful little island off of the Albanian coast. And Jared Kushner wants it. So, he took his Saudi billions and he decided he and Ivanka would buy the island and build a luxury resort, and like clockwork, just a few weeks after Trump wins a second term, Albania's PM grants Jared's company strategic investor status, permitting his expedited to help the American prince develop his new island.

And it turns out that ordinary Albanians are not fans of this arrangement. There are massive protests. Tens of thousands of people in the streets. They are calling at the flamingo revolution. All sparked by opposition to Jared Kushner's land deal. Now Albania's anti-corruption police are getting ball. They froze a bank account controlled by two of Jared's investors, both Syrian billionaires

Do you think Jared Kushner would get special island-buying privileges if you were not the president's son-in-law?

@EdKrassen Watching with the sound off (can't listen to the same crap) and I wonder, what's with the accordion? Also, I've never seen such tiny hands. They must hinder his playing.

@Gianl1974 I don't know. Maybe she has a thing for rotting bodies. Some people will do anything to claim power by association. I mean, look at the cabinet and repubs in Congress. Selling their souls for what? The future is uncertain, kids. Tick tock.
