Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal.

Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan.

All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Homeowner waits until construction job is nearly done—then calls ICE on 6 of her own workers.

Woman even provides the ladder used by agent to detain men—who she owes $10,000 for 3 day job.

"She called the damn law on us and now we're totally screwed!" men yell in Spanish. "They surrounded us!—They surrounded us!"

Agents even left behind the workers' van with doors wide open—filled with thousands of dollars worth of tools.

The arrest was broadcast live for about 30 minutes by a co-worker—identified as Bryan Polanco.

"Seeing it is not the same as experiencing it," he explains.

"I’ve seen many videos, and sadly today I had to experience it."

At the end of the video he gets the woman who called ICE on camera: "It is the same woman. Tidying up the house, and still with hatred in her heart."

The incident occurred in Cambridge, Maryland.

Hillary Clinton was asked whether Donald Trump should testify before the House committee, and her response was a reminder of something obvious: it’s laughable to think people like James Comer, Lauren Boebert, or Nancy Mace were ever capable of squaring up with her.

But the broader point is simple: if you hold power in this country, you should be willing to testify under oath before Congress. Every single one of them. No exceptions.

Netanyahu: I need $6 billion more
Trump: Approved

Argentina: We need $20 billion
Trump: Approved

Musk: SpaceX needs $5.9 billion
Trump: Approved

Bezos: Amazon needs $16 billion
Trump: Approved

Average Joe: My wife got cancer. I lost my job. Can we get Medicaid?
Trump: Denied

[Jason Bassler @JasonBassler1]

Let me get this straight:

–Trump greenlit a Palantir “master database”

–8 new "mega‑detention centers" are being built

–CBP just bought access to Clearview’s 60B‑image facial ID system

–DHS is now demanding names of social media users critical of ICE

-ICE agents on our streets threatening to put people in a "domestic terrorist" database

And no one sees where this is going?

The Super Bowl halftime show didn't even become the Super Bowl halftime show as most of y'all know it until the NFL almost lost its entire black audience during halftime to a live episode of In Living Color in 1992.

The next year: Michael Jackson.

And the rest is history.

“If the American press had been honest with people about who Donald Trump was - and has always been - in 2016 we wouldn’t be in this mess. Instead, they allowed a corporate whitewashing of a sexual predator and lifelong criminal.

European media doesn’t seem to suffer the same blind spots when it comes to Trump, though they are being attacked by the same reactionary, tech billionaire forces that have caused such upheaval in the States.

Perhaps this is a result of POTUS’ corrupt leadership in pressing Ukraine to capitulate to Russian demands; appeasing Putin’s murderous rampage on innocent people and withholding arms and munitions from Ukrainian forces, making the killing easier for the Russian strongman.

As far as I see it, the Trump/Kushner clan are essentially employees of the Kremlin, and this now includes the Witkoff family as well. Their gamble is that they will destabilize the global order and lock down power so much at home that their malfeasance and treasonous behavior will go unpunished.

So far they are correct; Jared most especially. Those creepily adhering to the shadows have always been the tip of the spear when it comes to collusion and cooperation with the Russians that Trump so slavishly admires. Men like Trump, and now Steve Witkoff, use their sons as as surrogates in criminal enterprises, negotiating deals outside of the purview of their public businesses.

These methods were already firmly established before Trump became POTUS, which is one reason for the depth and fluidity of his criminal operation and his deference to Putin.
Jeffrey Epstein had already collected decades worth of kompromat on the elite businessman and politicians that also swam in Trump’s circles and shared his illicit and immoral proclivities.

Trump and his coterie were not uninvolved or unaware of the breadth and logistics of the global sex-trafficking operation Epstein and Maxwell ran, as he was himself as involved in its logistics as he was in his own nefarious activities.

Men like Howard Lutnick, who appeared on ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ and lived next door to Epstein were also aware of the operation and how Trump’s consiglieri had partnered with Putin.

I watched as Jared and Vanky flitted around an event space in Trump SOHO in 2010 and Trump Organization associate, Felix Sater, made introductions to a bevy of very mobbed up looking Russians.” https://t.co/PIZ7c6PNQW

@BillCassidy Jesus, do you have any self respect left, if you ever had any?

The White House told John Boyd Jr, founder of the National Black Farmer’s Association not to attend a farmer’s meeting because they were “moving away from DEI.” Like the man doesn’t still own a farm or deserve a seat at the table.

Peter Thiel is in the Epstein files saying “democracy is a failed experiment” and that women and poor people should have never had the right to vote and they are strategically positing how to stop both. They also used Epstein to pressure governments to get their way.

One of Trump’s biggest donors.

Have you ever wondered why Germans didn’t do anything about Hitler? Well, the rest of the world is wondering exactly that about Americans and Trump.

“It arose from the same violent impulses and broken personality that allowed him to tear out a chunk of his first wife’s hair in 1989 and proceed to sexually assault her because he didn’t like the scar the plastic surgeon she recommended left on his head after a scalp reduction to help conceal his baldpate.

Donald’s narcissism and god complex were under attack and he lashed out viscously at the mother of his young children. This came after subjecting her to years of his public infidelity and demeaning behavior.

The same kid who threw rocks at the neighbor’s baby and punched his teacher is very much alive and ‘well’ in the current (and perhaps last) President of the United States. The entire world should recognize the threat he poses instead of continually seeking to appease his darker instincts.” https://t.co/KRu9i2dBzc
