He's turning the White House into mar-a-lago, building a literal bunker and now putting up permanent fencing.

This man is not planning to leave.

The government just paid a French oil company $2.5 BILLION of YOUR tax dollars... to kill American wind energy.

Not to build it. To make it disappear.

TotalEnergies had two offshore wind farms ready to go. One off North Carolina, one off New York. Combined, they would have powered hundreds of thousands of homes.

The Department of the Interior paid TotalEnergies $795 million to walk away from both, and banned the company from ever building offshore wind in the U.S. again.

Here's the part that should stop you cold:

That $795 million isn't just a payout. It's a condition. TotalEnergies has to take that money and pour it into oil, gas, and LNG projects instead.

The government is paying a company, with your tax dollars, to convert clean energy into fossil fuel. On purpose, by design.

And it didn't stop there.

Invenergy took $765 million to drop four more offshore leases, same condition attached: oil and gas only.

Bluepoint Wind, a 2.4 gigawatt project off New York, folded too. So did Golden State Wind, a floating wind farm planned for the waters off central California.

These weren't early-stage ideas. Ports were already being built to support them. California alone has sunk over $100 million into port and mooring infrastructure for a project that may never get finished.

Over $2.5 billion in taxpayer money, across four separate deals, all pointed the same direction: away from wind, straight into fossil fuel.

Meanwhile, a wind farm that did get finished, Vineyard Wind off Massachusetts, is already saving families $1.4 billion on their power bills over the next 20 years. That's the version of this we're not choosing.

Seven states are suing over the TotalEnergies deal alone. California's Attorney General just filed a separate case over the rest.

Since when does the government bribe companies to pick oil over wind?

Trump will declare a national emergency right before the midterms based on manufactured claims of foreign interference in the 2020 election.

The Trump administration is reportedly trying to persuade Nicolás Maduro to support that narrative in exchange for leniency.

[Stacy Mitchell @stacyfmitchell]

Amid all the corruption, this is especially gross: the billions Congress/Biden approved to build fiber internet in places left behind has been redirected to Elon Musk & Jeff Bezos for doing nothing. Musk has pocketed $738 million so far. Places like rural Louisiana were screwed.

This is why they wanted you to believe their analyst. This is why their CEO sold over half his Sony stock. And he wasn't the only board member to sell a significant chunk, either.

The cancellations *are* working. Don't let the corpos tell you otherwise.

A woman registered for a public JD Vance event using the official signup form, got a confirmation on White House letterhead, and stood in line for thirty minutes before five people, two of them armed Secret Service agents, pulled her out by name and told her, "we know where you stand."

Her offense was running a cat meme Instagram account with two million followers. The ACLU is now suing the Executive Office of the President and the Secret Service over it, and the strongest detail in the whole complaint is not the ejection itself. It is that Secret Service agents apparently monitor a satire account closely enough to recognize its founder on sight in a rope line in Bangor, Maine.

Vance called his own 2021 cat ladies comment one of the dumbest things he has ever said. He was right the first time. Weaponizing federal security personnel against the woman who turned that quote into a punchline is a worse unforced error than the original one.

FEC is without a quorum to act.
EAC is without a quorum to act.
DOJ is under Trump's direct control.

This is a very dangerous time for elections. My advice and request is to sign-up to Democracy Docket to stay informed. https://t.co/99sX9k2DLV

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

BREAKING: The Trump White House just ousted all three sitting members of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission — hamstringing the bipartisan agency ahead of the midterms.

The EAC helps state and local officials run elections, including by certifying election equipment. https://t.co/DBaRuFaWJB

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

Reports that the White House has dismissed the remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission — all of whom were unanimously confirmed by the Senate, including a commissioner appointed by President Trump himself — should concern every American, regardless of party, because the EAC was established by Congress as an independent, bipartisan body to help states administer secure and credible elections.

If these reports are accurate, removing every remaining commissioner just months before the 2026 midterm elections is an extraordinary step that demands an immediate explanation from the administration and raises profound concerns about political interference in the institutions that support our elections.

[Phil Williams @PhilNvestigates]

President Trump just purged the federal agency whose job is to help states improve election administration, including “distributing federal election funds, maintaining the national mail voter registration form, testing and certifying voting systems….” 1/2

USDA had to revise its late June U.S. beef export numbers DOWN 90%. Quite the "error."

In case the play isn't obvious enough, Sony is purposely leaking this "information" to journalists to discourage you from boycotting them

On his first day in office, Trump signed an executive order that rescinded Biden's executive order 14087, which lowered prescription drug prices.

Cyclosporiasis, the parasite causing the current explosive diarrhea outbreak, is at a level 20x higher than its yearly average.

This comes just 1 year after the Trump admin removed a cyclospora tracking mandate from the 'Foodborne Disease Active Surveillance Network.'

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Donald Trump is still REFUSING to release billions in fire disaster aid OWED to victims in California.

Now he's doing the same to Democratic-led states while fast-tracking Republican-led ones.

Americans deserve better than government by political retribution.

forced conversion therapy is state sponsored human experimentation. not only is it cruel and unusual punishment but there is no safe way to detransition someone; this is just the threat of daily torture for every one of us born there
