Pretty wild that the only times elections have been stolen in American history is when Dumbfuck J Trump is President. No other President has had this happen. I’m starting to think this guy Trump is just a huge fucking liar with zero respect for American democracy.

Yes I sold paintings. About $225,000 a year over four years. The whole of my business while my father was President. Congress investigated it.

If you’re outraged about that, where is all your outrage now?

Kushner's Affinity Partners holds roughly $5 to $6 billion. Close to 99% of it comes from foreign sovereign wealth funds. Saudi Arabia. The UAE. Qatar. Over $90M in fees annually.

Trump is stealing the taxpayers money and Congress is his accomplice!

Yesterday, the IDF seized 4 students from their homes in the West Bank, including 20-year-old American, Sama Safi.

The Israeli govt didn’t tell her family or the U.S. Embassy where or why she was being taken & is holding her without charges.

America must secure her release NOW.

Donald Trump had over 3,700 stock transactions since the war in Iran started, and he profited over 220 million dollars. Don't tell me how he "donates his presidential salary" ever again you stupid fucking MAGAs

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.

BREAKING: Donald Trump calls JB Pritzker a “dumb, stupid slob.”

Just a reminder that JB Pritzker just balanced the Illinois budget with a $0 deficit AND has signed relief for groceries and gas.

Trump is a 5th grade bully who apparently needs to look in the mirror.

Rep. Angie Craig demolishes Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins: "Joe Biden is no longer the president. Mr. Trump is. Your party controls Congress. You own these numbers at this point. I'm sick of hearing you blame an administration from a year and half ago. You own every single bit of this."

Rep. Mike Thompson: "I've searched hard to find constituents in my district who believe this economy is golden…Electricity bills are up 8.5%. Is that golden?"

Bessent: *refuses to answer*

Thompson: "Health insurance costs are up 26% — that's not golden. Childcare costs are up 9% — that's not golden. Gas prices are up nearly 50% — that's not golden. Grocery prices are still straining family budgets — that's not golden."

The GOP knows Paxton is a scummy, dangerous politician and now they are going to support him anyways, because Trump supported him. Had enough of this yet?
