Trump reportedly demanded that the DOJ pay him for past criminal cases brought against him.
And the DOJ does not have to make a public announcement—which means the agency could pay Trump $230 million in complete secrecy.
This is NOT normal.
This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.
I'LL BET I KNOW WHY DING-DONG DONNY DEMENTO WON'T SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT HIS COGNITIVE TEST: IT'S BECAUSE HE FAILED IT. HE SCREWED THE POOCH. YOU JUST KNOW HE FUCKED IT UP ROYALLY. I EXPLORE THIS IN A VERY TREMENDOUS POST LIKE NO ONE THOUGHT POSSIBLE. THANKS FOR READING, LINK IS HERE: https://t.co/mZDRutgI58
This is murder.
But in 2024 the Supreme Court ruled the president is absolutely immune from prosecution for crimes committed using core constitutional powers.
What did we think would happen in 2025?

🚨Oregon v Trump National Guard case.
Ninth Circuit vacates panel decision. 11 judge-panel will rehear the case.
Judge Graber in dissent said last week: “Above all, I ask those who are watching this case unfold to retain faith in our judicial system for just a little longer.”
It’s not a joke. Republicans in Congress have totally given up on being a separate and coequal branch of government. Mike Johnson has shrunk himself so much and made himself so irrelevant and trivial that the only joke is him.
We have one of the most abundant food supplies on Earth.
But in Trump’s America, millions are about to go hungry and our farmers’ crops are piling up.
Both are man-made crises caused by Donald Trump and his allies.
🚨 NEW: Gavin Newsom, Barack Obama, Jasmine Crockett, AOC, Elizabeth Warren, Alex Padilla, Chris Murphy, and Rep. Eric Simon all appear in a new Yes on 50 ad; a full-force show of unity from the Democratic bench.
Two AUSAs were placed on administrative leave for truthfully describing Taylor Taranto's role in the Jan. 6 Capitol siege in a sentencing memo for later crimes. Unclear which specific truths were deemed unacceptable or by whom. Per @KFaulders et al.

@namwella1961 Work leaders see this and still welcome him to their country. I remember reading how planes flew over Auschwitz with people pretending they didn't know it was happening. They're just as guilty
ABC: A shocking video shows an ICE Agent wearing an American flag mask break a woman's car window to arrest her in Addison, Illinois. “Me, as a U.S. citizen, even us are afraid of these guys,” said a local man. “We feel this is something that is not right, not legal."
I agree!
MORE: And now it's a group of former federal judges that has prepared a brief for the court to recommend dismissal of criminal case against James Comey: "Political prosecutions have no place in the courts of the United States"
