Mostly about politics, sometimes about taxes. 2025- I’m reposting to remind me of the crazy shit that’s happening.

The Trump crime family sued Capital One for shutting down 300 Trump bank accounts saying it’s was because of politics.

Capital One just replied, it was actually because of a money laundering review…

This should be much bigger news.

Oh look, the Commerce Department quietly announced 7 new equity stakes in private companies.

Brought to you by the people fighting "communism."

The Republican candidate here broke his 2yo daughter's collarbone, pour hot water on his wife and held a gun to her head.

KY Governor Andy Beshear sends new letter to McConnell: “I am calling on you to directly and verbally address the people of Kentucky and provide proof of your capacity to serve, or resign.”

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

NEW: Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has a message for Sen. Mitch McConnell: Explain your prolonged absence from the Senate and provide an update on your health, or resign:

“I am addressing this letter to Senator McConnell under the assumption that he is capable of reading and responding verbally, and not incapacitated by means of consciousness or cognition. If the Senator is unable to respond for either of those or other conditions, consider this letter a demand for his Senate staff to be honest and transparent with the people of Kentucky,” Beshear writes in the letter, written on state government letterhead and obtained by CNN.

“As Governor of the state you serve, I am calling on you to directly and verbally address the people of Kentucky and provide proof of your capacity to serve, or resign,” he continued.

Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to which is exactly why we need government regulations

I truly believe this guy is in, like, the bottom tier of intelligence among human beings. like that's an astronomical idiot talking. I don't even think I *know* anyone who is this stupid. he is living proof that making money does not make you smart or interesting.

Musk did an interview with the editor of the Economist, a posh white woman, centrist, daughter of an army officer.
It went badly for Musk.

So now she’s a ‘traitor to the West.’

Totally normal response from a normal guy.

A couple of observations about Mitch McConnell. First, if he is just recovering from his fall and a bout of pneumonia, there is no reason why he cannot and has not made a verbal statement to show that he is recovering. We have not heard his voice. That is highly suspicious. 1

AWOL Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell has hit a new unwanted milestone.

being transparent about this because women’s health has historically been underfunded and understudied.

Mitch McConnell would’ve replaced Mitch McConnell 39 fucking days ago.

Concealment of a dead body is a Class D felony in Kentucky.

Just saying.

Remember when a congresswoman had to bring her newborn to work because moms with newborns weren’t supposed to get special treatment?

So where the fuck is Mitch McConnell?

PabloReports: What do you make of Pete Hegseth refusing to promote qualified women of color?

AOC: He’s an unqualified man in his role, so of course he’s threatened by women who are twice as good as he is.

[Sean Davis @seanmdav]

Reminder that Mitch McConnell, who is literally AWOL from the Senate, is currently in violation of actual Senate Rules.

[Desirée Townsend @Cheering4Change]

Day 37 of Senator Mitch McConnell’s hospitalization likely means he will not be in the Senate to vote this week. At this point, it’s time for Governor Andy Beshear @GovAndyBeshear and Kentucky Senate candidates Andy Barr @barrforsenate and Charles Booker @Booker4KY to show up in D.C. alongside the press corps and demand answers, or for Senator McConnell to step down if he is unable to fulfill the duties of his office.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Gov. @AndyBeshearKY: I have not heard one thing from Mitch McConnell or his office. When you represent the people of the Kentucky, and you've been in a hospital for a month and you've missed all the votes, you owe your boss an explanation. It's been reported that he's had 20-minute conversations with different individuals, so call into a news station for 5 minutes or put out a short video.
