All watch parties have been cancelled around Madison Square Garden a slap in the face to Knicks fans who’ve waited 26 years for this. And all because a man whose name appears in the Epstein files 1 million times wants to go to the Knicks game. #crueltyisthepoint
Morning everyone.
Do you know that your President just exempted himself, his family, and all his family's companies from our tax laws?
You are subject to the law. Now he is not.
No one should not pretend this is okay or normal. It's an ongoing constitutional crisis.
We are announcing today that The American Revolution will stream for free in its entirety on all PBS platforms from May 25th through July 12. Hope you have a chance to watch, ideally with friends and family, as you think about our 250th anniversary this July 4th. https://t.co/c8fc6Sldj5
I challenge Donald Trump to take a cognitive test with an independent doctor in front of the entire country. He keeps bragging about these tests so do it in front of everyone. We’ll be waiting!
Cost of Trump's War $25,000,000,000.00
Cost of Trump's Ballroom $400,000,000.00
Cost of Trump's Arch $100,000,000.00
Cost of Israel aid $3,800,000,000.00 (annual)
No $ for US healthcare, infrastructure, veterans, medicare, soc. security, US mail, education, science, homelessness
Next time you’re buying groceries and can’t believe how expensive it is remember congressional Republicans get $75 each and every day for food on top of their $175,000 salary plus a large expense account and all the bribes they can carry
I'm tired of grocery stores asking me if I want to round up to end world hunger.
You're a $10 Billion corporation and I'm out here using a coupon to save 50 cents on a bag of potatoes.
Why don't YOU donate to end world hunger.
Can someone explain to me how it is that taxpayers are required to pay settlements for sexual abuse by members of Congress but we don't get to see who the members of Congress are that we are paying to sexually abuse citizens?
This picture is sad.
You could not better capture the quintessential disconnect of America if you tried:
“Billionaire in gilded office gives Grandma $100 tip, to help pay for her dying husband’s cancer treatment”
SNL: “There is growing confusion over whether Israel being allowed to continue bombing Lebanon was part of the ceasefire with Iran.
Ultimately that decision comes down to the man controlling our military: Benjamin Netanyahu.”
Just so everyone knows, the chaos in Washington has been causing swings in the stock market. There have been some very well timed trades that made a lot of money.
Meanwhile, regular Americans are just trying to pay for groceries and gas.
This is dirty.
A Trump insider opened a $51,000,000 oil short position — hours before Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran. This guy is now 16 for 16. $170 million in profit. A perfect streak.
This is not a talented trader.
"We placed the bet." "The ceasefire dropped." "We cashed out." Sixteen times in a row.
That is not skill. That is not instinct. That is not research.
That is someone who knows what is coming before it comes.
Think about what that actually means. A private individual is placing a $51 million bet that oil prices are about to collapse — hours before a sitting president announces a ceasefire that collapses oil prices. Not once. Sixteen times. Zero losses.
There are only two explanations and both should terrify you.
Either someone inside the White House — or with direct access to it — is leaking ceasefire negotiations to traders before diplomats, before the press, before the American people hear a single word. That is insider trading. That is corruption. That is a federal crime.
Or the timing of the announcement itself is being shaped around the trade. Which is worse.
This is not a genius investor who reads the news faster than you do. The news hadn't happened yet. He wasn't reading the news. He was getting a phone call.
While Americans were watching the ceasefire announcement and feeling relieved — somebody already knew. Somebody had already bet $51 million on it. And somebody was already counting their winnings.
You are not watching a free market. You are watching a White House with a side hustle. Via~ Really American
"Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it." - John Lennon
Seems appropriate.
i do not care if Trump's comments result in nothing tonight. no one who even thinks of saying the phrase "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" should be allowed to operate an ice cream stand, nevermind the most powerful office on the planet
It bears mentioning that nobody ever lost sleep wondering if President Biden was going to commit war crimes or drop nukes on another country.
They called him Sleepy Joe because we could sleep peacefully.
