For fuck's sake!
Israel interfered in the Scottish elections but we can't know the details because it might jeopardise our relationship... With Israel.
I've had enough of this shit!
Another Republican has been accused of protecting pedophiles — Rep. Andy Biggs, who is running for governor in Arizona.
This appears to be an epidemic in the MAGA movement.
Don't ever let the @GOP tell you they want to rein in wasteful govt spending.
$900 Million in waste, fraud, and abuse. The GOP got us here, and they're keeping us here.

🚨BREAKING: Nate Silver’s new forecast just predicted Troy Jackson is on the verge of destroying Susan Collins.

NEW: Trump plans to spend up to $20 million to give ICE agents gloves that can electrocute people into compliance with a push of a hidden button. Yes, I'm dead serious. They always have money for supervillain shit, but nothing that might actually improve your life.
I don’t believe anyone in government understands climate change.
Like the media, they all just listen to each other.
Only 10% of MPs even attended a briefing a few years ago by the chief scientist.
They think this is a bit of hot weather that will get back to normal next year. They don’t understand it’s only getting worse.
My 5% wealth tax on less than 1,000 billionaires would raise over $4.4 trillion to:
Provide $12,000 to a working family of 4
Enact universal childcare
Expand Medicare for dental, vision & hearing
End homelessness
Require a $60,000 minimum salary for teachers
Let's get it done.
🚨 They have Flock, we have SparrowMap
Meet SparrowMap. It's a DIY counter-surveillance tool that uses a webcam or old smartphone to detect, classify, and map government vehicles in real time.
They track the public.
Now the public is tracking them back.
BREAKING: Trump has just been officially sued in federal court over Trump Media selling advance millisecond access to his "market-moving" Truth Social posts to subscribers paying up to $100,000 per month via Truth API, per CNBC.
The lawsuit filed in NY federal court by The Intercept Media and the Freedom of the Press Association calls the scheme "extraordinary, corrupt, and unconstitutional," saying "the President stands to gain financially by giving 'market-moving' government information to those who are willing and able to pay his personal company." More than 10 customers have already signed up for the Truth API, mostly high-frequency trading firms.
This comes just hours after Iran's IRGC Senior Advisor Naqdi called for a US Congressional investigation into Trump, his family, and his inner circle including Kushner and Witkoff over war-related insider trading.
Americans invented a word for their corruption so that it wouldn't sound like corruption.
They called it lobbying.
In most of the world, if a corporation hands a politician money and the politician then votes in that corporation's interest, we have a name for that.
The name is bribery.
The person goes to prison, or is supposed to, or at least has to conduct the transaction in a parking garage at midnight with an envelope.
In America, the transaction happens in broad daylight. It is filed with the Federal Election Commission. It is legal. It is protected, since 2010, by a Supreme Court ruling that defined the exchange of money for political access as free speech.
They looked at bribery and called it speech.
They looked at corruption and called it democracy.
And then they sent ambassadors to other countries to lecture those governments about transparency and rule of law.
The audacity is not incidental to the system.
The audacity is the system.
Fun Fact: The DEA's Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) investigated Jeffrey Epstein under Operation Chain Reaction for drug trafficking, prostitution, and money laundering.
Out of it came a 69-page memo from May 2015 naming Epstein and 14 associates tied to suspicious wire transfers. Marked unclassified.
Senator Ron Wyden asked for the unredacted version. The DEA was ready to hand it over. Then Todd Blanche personally blocked it. Todd Blanche then dismantled OCDETF entirely. The same unit that had been in existence for 43 years. The same unit that caught El Chapo. They no longer exist.
Todd Blanche is a pedo protector and every single one of you who voted to confirm him are complicit with his coverup if you ask me.
WaPo reports Trump secretly funneled almost $1B into the White House “housekeeping” account for renovations.
Without asking Congress.
Feels like the right day to repost this video & remind him: we’re undoing ALL of it when you’re gone.
Just a reminder that President Biden made sure he appointed as many federal judges as he could before leaving office and is a huge reason we have been saved from some of trump’s worst impulses.
