Think about all the column inches and headlines devoted to Graham Platner over the past week versus Ken Paxton and then tell me again we have a ‘liberal’ media.

COMMENTARY: Let’s say it plainly: There has never been a president as corrupt as Donald Trump.

There is no close second in our history.

Jon Stewart on Trump’s corrupt slush find: “This is fuckin’ our money! Do we even have a Congress? It’s all Orwell, it’s all a fuck you troll. His entire career is a troll. They’re gonna give it to people that sprayed mace at police officers and pretend they’re rewarding patriotism”

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 Big time shenanigans going on in UTAH‼️
Utah speaker of the house Mike Schultz owns hundreds of acres of land right near the Stratos data Center site‼️
THIS IS JOURNALISM‼️

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

🚨 WOWWW — UTAH — the brilliant young women @kevinolearytv 🤥 accused of being Chinese ops just discovered Utah speaker of the house Mike Schultz (Republican) bought 640 acres of land right next to the data center site just 2 months before it was announced.

Incredible find.

[Justin Kanew @Kanew]

So good. @kevinolearytv’s main talking point is dismissing local concerns as Chinese talking points, and here are two actual locals from Utah ripping him apart

[The Salt Lake Tribune @sltrib]

Letter: Gov. Cox, whose best idea to combat drought has been begging us to pray for rain, has made no substantive effort to address public concerns about the data center. Instead, he and everyone else involved have condescended to us. https://t.co/vyY1DWKQqK

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

This is amazing - @kevinolearytv 🤡 is fearmongering about Chinese agents opposing his giant Utah data center… but it’s 2 young local girls in Utah who hilariously call him out👇🏽

[Anonymous @YourAnonNews]

Shark Tank Billionaire Kevin O'leary says 2 people fighting data centers in Utah are Chinese agents. Turns out its just 2 local girls in Utah, they make a hilarious video calling him the fuck out

He definitely should NOT apologize if the government is calling for his firing. That would mean he is rolling over for the government and doing so under duress and be a total violation of the First Amendment.

[PoliticsGirl @IAmPoliticsGirl]

This is excellent.

Are we just supposed to forget about this?

[matt bernstein @mattxiv]

tucker privately told colleagues in 2021 that he hated trump passionately, then supported him for a third time in 2024. he doesn’t care. maga is just a sinking ship, so he needs to make sure he’s well-positioned for whatever the next thing is

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

A reminder that this is how politics - and shame - is supposed to work. A politician is accused of major scandals, crimes!, and their party disowns them and they are forced out not just from a race from but from public life.
You’re not supposed to re-elect them to the presidency.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

I love* how it took 11 years for MAGA media personalities to realize what an awful, un-Christian man Trump is.

(*I don’t actually love it, it’s fricking annoying, actually.)

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

This statement changes nothing.

The President has threatened a genocide against the Iranian people, and is continuing to leverage that threat.

He has launched a massive war of enormous risk and of catastrophic consequence without reason, rationale, nor Congressional authorization - which is as clear a violation of the Constitution as any. Each day this goes on, the risk and criminality of these actions escalate for our nation and the world.

Moreover, this administration’s self enrichment, insider trading, and pure corruption off this chaos - from crypto currencies to predictive trading markets to bribe “settlements” - has placed the Trump administration’s pursuit of personal wealth squarely against the wellbeing of our nation and its people.

All of these incidents, and plenty more, have clearly driven our country past the threshold for impeachment or invocation of the 25th amendment.

We cannot risk the world nor the wellbeing of our nation any longer. None of these considerations should be partisan, but shared in good faith by Americans of all backgrounds who care for the safety and stability of the United States.

Whether by his Cabinet or Congress, the President must be removed from office. We are playing with the brink.
