Meet MAGAt Adriana Camberos who has the honor of being pardoned by Trump not once but twice.
Originally convicted in an elaborate counterfeit energy drink conspiracy, her sentence was commuted by Trump in 2021. Shortly after her release, she and her brother embarked on a separate wholesale grocery fraud scheme, resulting in a 2024 conviction and a $48.8 million restitution order. Trump issued her a second full pardon in January 2026.
We have a little over 24 hours to save the internet. The vote is being rushed to the US House floor on Monday the 29th.
"Buried inside the KIDS Act are provisions that will push online services to verify all users’ ages, require government-directed moderation policies for online speech, and even create new rules about private and encrypted communications." -- EFF https://t.co/4vVQcYPDct
The bill has bipartisan support and large corporate donors, who all have a vested interest in eroding your privacy and freedom of speech. Similar bills have already passed in other countries and individual states and led to ID scanning mandates, faulty AI moderation, the removal of encrypted messaging, etc.
If passed, some platforms will require ID scans from all users, some may try to deploy faulty 'estimation' technology that will randomly trigger and cause your accounts to be either permanently deleted or locked until you fork over an ID. These systems have been a disaster where deployed in other regions and led to many account losses and data breaches.
America 250 was going to be like a World Fair that would have attracted millions of people.
But Trump stole the money, denied permits, & renamed it Freedom 250 so he could make it all about himself & Republicans.
Trump stole America's Birthday from you! 🤬
Natalina. She's not nearly as sweet as Celestina. In fact, she has a pretty abrasive and difficult personality.
I want each girl in the game to have her own distinct personality and character archetype, so they all feel as different from one another as possible =3
Your government works for YOU.
And the right to vote is not a bargaining chip. It is not something that a president gets to dangle over your head until you give him what he wants.
The people of Michigan are not pawns in this game.
Doss: My point is this if you don't want people to be curious about socialism, capitalism has to work a lot better.
Aidala: I don't think Trump would disagree with you.
Doss: Well, guess what? Today he was out here talking about America will never be a socialist country, America never will be a communist country. He just asked for $11 billion in subsidies for farmers because capitalism is killing American agriculture, his capitalistic war is not allowing fertilizer to get to the to American agriculture.
Never forget that the trump administration wants to throw people in jail for touching water in the reflecting pool but allowed an ICE agent to walk free after he murdered a woman in broad daylight on camera and called her a "fucking bitch."
Gov. @GavinNewsom: Executive power it seems almost absolute.
@briantylercohen: I understand the proclivity as these institutions are being torn down, Democrats' reflex is to protect them. I think that it's a misguided effort, the reaction to Republicans tearing this stuff down can't be 'we have to preserve them exactly as they are.'
.@briantylercohen: We have to remember, the point of being in government is not the preservation of processes. The point of being in government is the outcomes. It's making sure people have healthcare, jobs, a just economy, that this country works for regular people
The people of Michigan deserve a senator who isn't afraid to challenge the status quo.
I've spent my career fighting for Michigan families, and I'm ready to take that fight to Washington.
NEW: Trump came to DC promising he would “drain the swamp.”
Instead, he made a new, much worse, much grosser swamp. Literally and figuratively.
We wrote about how the Reflecting Pool debacle is the perfect metaphor for Trumpism: Say one thing, it goes completely sideways, then lie some more until there’s a new story to distract everyone.
