SHAMELESS: Donald Trump is slapping his name on infrastructure projects across the U.S. funded by President Biden’s historic 2021 infrastructure law that Trump opposed and tried to derail. (NYT)
Your periodic reminder that health insurance is not healthcare.
It’s an unnecessary middleman designed to restrict access to healthcare and exploit people for profit.
The fiscal and moral path forward is universal healthcare with Medicare for All.
A family is in urgent need of help. Their vehicle is breaking down, and repairs are adding up. Please consider donating or sharing to help them get back on the road. Every bit counts! https://t.co/zOzmAh6qXY
The President of the United States is deploying the military onto US streets and using our troops like political pawns.
DO NOT ALLOW YOURSELF TO BECOME NUMB TO THIS.
Unbelievable. The Trump administration and their GOP enablers turn public policy into a casino game—stacking the deck with insider bets while the rest of us are left holding the bag. A $200 million crypto gamble timed just right? This isn’t governance; it’s a heist in broad daylight. And David Sacks as crypto czar? That’s not a conflict of interest—it’s a neon sign flashing ‘Corruption Here.’ They don’t even pretend to care about the public anymore.
@BenjaminNorton Trump’s Crypto Reserve reeks of corruption, $200M leveraged bets right before his announcement? Insider trading much? And his crypto czar David Sacks’ firm Bitwise conveniently profits? Just another grift for his cronies while he pretends to care about America.
I'll say it again: The blatant corruption and looting in the US today is like what was done to Russia in the 1990s -- but this time, the USA is doing it to itself.
The US government was always run on behalf of oligarchs, but now the oligarchs are directly in charge. It's pillage
@ElieNYC My friend the smartest man on this site* @ElieNYC has asked me to confirm to you that he's been hacked and has no access to his account
He is NOT launching any crypto scam. Sadly he has also not been made head of the Senate Democratic Caucus
*I add: porous hellhole site
@ElieNYC He's been hacked. No way is he a shiyster like Leon and Trump. They'd for sure do a rug pull bitcoin scam and take all your $$ but Elie is 100% good guy!
Trump spent his first term using the presidency to benefit himself.
But this is an astounding level of corruption. He is now blatantly using the Presidency to enrich himself by billions of dollars.
This was never about you or this country.
It’s about him and his bank account.
Pete Hegseth reportedly has the votes to take over as Secretary of Defense.
Because apparently, hosting Fox News segments is now the gold standard for running the Pentagon.
The bar isn’t just low anymore—it’s been buried six feet under.
Today, I'm commuting the sentences of nearly 2,500 people convicted of non-violent drug offenses.
This is an important step toward righting historic wrongs and providing deserving individuals the opportunity to return to their communities after far too much time behind bars.
Warnock: Do you agree that ending the tax cuts for those making more than $400k would help close the deficit?
Bessent: I do not. You would capture an inordinate amount of small business people…
Warnock: What about $1 million?
Bessent: I believe these are small business pass-through owners..
Warnock: What about those making more than $10 million?
Bessent: I think it’s important that we put in incentive for them to invest..
Warnock: What about $1 billion?
Bessent: These are the job creators…
Warnock: So there’s no income level for which you would support raising taxes?
