James Talarico: “Young people can’t afford to buy a home, but Jeff Bezos has 12. Young people can’t afford to fill up their gas tank, but Mark Zuckerberg is launching helicopters from his mega-yacht. Young people pay more than their fair share of income taxes, but someone like Elon Musk can get away without paying a penny”
James Talarico: “Real men don’t lie and cheat their way through life. They don’t enrich themselves by stealing from other people. They don’t sell their soul to the highest bidder. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves”
🚨🚨 "I saw Kushner’s Albania resort up close — it is an environmental disaster.
"What is happening.. is a test of something.. fundamental: whether Albania’s institutions exist to serve its people, or to serve its deals.. Vjosa-Narta is a stress test.."

@JoyceWhiteVance Two old impotent clueless white men deciding the fate of millions? I think not! Equal rights and due process as well as birthright citizenship define this country.
@JoyceWhiteVance This is really scary. They are blatantly stripping citizens of their civil rights-just like they said they would in Project 2025.
No one talks about that but all of this was written on paper.
Blatant racism & it won’t stop there—immigrants then African Americans.
God help us🙏
Trump's unfit for office as POTUS... people should be calling for him to step down or be removed...
He's tanking the US and global economy... he's alienating US allies, including NATO and aligning with Putin...
His whole admin is unqualified, corrupt, and they're weaponizing everything...
He completely abuses his authority at home and abroad… his cabinet is unqualified; unfit for the office they hold, and only serve Trump, not the American people… he alienates US friends and allies, including NATO… aligns w/dictators…
Trump doesn’t care about the health and wellbeing of Americans… including troops in wartime… he doesn’t care who gets hurt…
He’s openly planning to steal or disrupt the election… ICE on the streets… tanking the economy… war in Iran… he’ll use force against Americans…
He already ignores congress, the courts, and the constitution… Trump w/use force against Americans… his top advisors are Kushner, Witkoff, Putin and Netanyahu… unfit for office…
The Speaker of the Alabama House wants the courts to overrule the 14th Amendment. Listen to his exact words and understand this: We are seeing the MAGA-faction attack on our elections fully exposed this week. Now is the time to understand that and do something about it. https://t.co/8npOcauW6b
Another 185 Ukrainian defenders are returning home today from Russian captivity. One civilian is also returning along with the defenders. They are warriors of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Guard, and the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine – privates, sergeants, and officers. They defended our state in Mariupol and at Azovstal, as well as in the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkiv, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, Kyiv, and Kursk sectors. Among them are those returning after years in Russian captivity, where they had been held since 2022.
I thank everyone who makes this possible: the team working on exchanges and our partners. And special gratitude to the warriors who replenish our exchange fund – who, through their strength and results on the frontline, ensure the return of our people home. The work continues. The return of our people is a constant priority for Ukraine. Every day, we are working to free every Ukrainian man and woman from captivity.

BREAKING: AOC just FLIPPED THE SCRIPT on MAGA gerrymandering—and Republicans are going to hate what comes next.
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) just said out loud what Democrats have been quietly discussing for months: if Republicans are going to gerrymander every state they control, Democrats have no choice but to do the same.
"The Democratic caucus has tried to pass nonpartisan gerrymandering for ten years," AOC told The Independent. "Republicans have rejected it, and so we have to all abide by the same rules. If Republicans are going to redraw North Carolina, if they're going to redraw Texas, if they're going to gerrymander every one of their states, then unfortunately, we have to provide balance to that."
The timing matters.
The Supreme Court just significantly weakened Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act — ruling that Louisiana relied too heavily on race when drawing its congressional map, a decision that effectively opens the door for Republican states to redraw maps without fear of federal civil rights enforcement.
Texas and North Carolina have already redrawn mid-decade at Trump's request. Ron DeSantis just called a special session of the Florida legislature specifically to create four new Republican-leaning districts — in direct violation of the Florida Constitution's explicit prohibition on partisan gerrymandering. The bill passed anyway.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries was characteristically direct: "The DeSantis Dummymander will not stand. See you in Court."
California already voted in November to add five new Democratic-leaning seats in response to Texas. Virginia did the same last week. New York Governor Hochul has now vowed to redraw New York's maps following Florida's passage. The dominoes are falling.
Democrats didn't want this fight. They have spent a decade pushing for nonpartisan redistricting commissions — the kind that would take mapmaking out of politicians' hands entirely. Republicans blocked it every time. Now the GOP is redrawing maps mid-decade, mid-term, in the middle of a congressional cycle, specifically to protect their majority regardless of how Americans vote.
The rules Republicans wrote, they will now have to live by.
AOC put it simply: until there's a federal nonpartisan solution, Democrats have to play by the same rules Republicans chose. Not the rules Democrats wanted. The rules Republicans imposed.
They made the bed. Now everyone sleeps in it.
Please like and share this post if you think Republicans who blocked nonpartisan redistricting for a decade don't get to complain when Democrats play by the rules they chose.
BREAKING: YES! Fed Chair Jerome Powell reveals that he’s remaining on the Reserve’s Board of Governors after his term ends — the first time that’s happened since 1948.
Best of all?
He’s doing it because of Trump’s attacks against him!
This one real backfired bigly on Donald…
Powell will step aside as chair next month, but his tenure on the board will last until 2028. He will be the first chair to remain on since Marriner Eccles did so in 1948.
When asked about his decision by a reporter, Powell bluntly explained it as a response to the “series of legal attacks on the Fed which threaten our ability to conduct monetary policy without considering political factors.”
“I had long planned to be retiring. The things that have happened really in the last three months have, I think, left me no choice but to stay until I see them through,” he added.
In other words, this is a direct result of Trump’s attempts to bully Powell into either lowering interest rates or resigning as Chair. Powell stood strong and refused to do either. As he patiently explained, the Fed couldn’t lower rates because of the global economic uncertainty unleashed by Trump’s tariffs.
When ranting and screeching failed, Trump resorted to weaponizing his corrupt Justice Department against Powell. He had U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro open a sham investigation into him for alleged malfeasance involving the renovations to the Fed’s headquarters. The probe ended in humiliation last week when Pirro announced that she was abandoning it.
Ever the consummate professional, Powell made it clear that he has no intention of derailing the Fed by undermining the new Chair—
“I plan to keep a low profile as a governor. There’s only ever one chair of the Federal Reserve Board. When Kevin Warsh is confirmed and sworn in he will be that chair,” he said.
America is lucky to have a public servant like Jerome Powell!
Please ❤️ and share to thank him!
BREAKING: Chief Justice John Roberts hit with SURPRISE DISBARMENT complaint over undisclosed $20M conflict of interest.
John Roberts has spent two decades attempting to position himself as the Supreme Court's institutional conscience — the careful steward protecting the Court's legitimacy.
Now, a bombshell investigation reveals he may have been protecting something else entirely: his household's $20 million in income from the very law firms arguing cases before him — and an independent journalist named Christopher Armitage is filing a disbarment proceeding against the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court because of it.
The facts are not in dispute. Roberts's wife Jane earned $10,323,842.70 in documented commissions over seven years at a legal recruiting firm — placing senior lawyers at firms that then argued hundreds of cases before her husband's court. For sixteen consecutive years, Roberts mislabeled this commission income as "salary" on his mandatory federal disclosure forms. He omitted his wife's equity stake in her employer for three consecutive years, later attributing it to "inadvertence." He never recused himself from a single one of the 500-plus cases argued by firms paying his household.
Richard Painter — chief White House ethics lawyer under George W. Bush, the man who prepared Roberts for his confirmation hearings — said Roberts "fudged the details, misleadingly describing his wife's earnings as salary." A legal ethics professor retained by a whistleblower concluded the false characterization is "incorrect as a matter of law."
Federal statute is unambiguous. Title 5 makes willful false disclosure a civil violation — $50,000 per count. Title 18 makes knowing false statements to the federal government a felony — five years per count. Title 28 mandates recusal when a spouse has a financial interest in firms before the court. Roberts appears to have violated all three, repeatedly, across two decades.
In response, Roberts designed the Court's first ethics code himself — and engineered it to have no enforcement mechanism, no complaint process, and no sanctions authority. The Brennan Center called it "designed to fail." He declined a Senate Judiciary Committee invitation to testify, citing separation of powers.
Now, Armitage has filed the disbarment complaint and is inviting every American to do the same. The DC Bar accepts public complaints. The address is 515 Fifth Street NW, Building A, Room 117, Washington DC 20001. The relevant rule is DC Rule of Professional Conduct 8.4(c). The relevant statutes are 28 U.S.C. § 455, 5 U.S.C. § 13106, and 18 U.S.C. § 1001.
Clarence Thomas took luxury vacations. Samuel Alito took private flights. John Roberts took law firm money through his wife's commission checks and called it salary for sixteen years.
The system they built assumes nobody is paying attention, but not only is Christopher Armitage paying attention, but the rest of us are too.
