.@Ossoff: A few years back, this degenerate political staffer named Brandon Phillips had been convicted of multiple crimes for some brutal violence. This kid was such a mess that he had to resign from the Trump campaign. But Congressman Mike Collins thought he'd make a great chief of staff. Mike only fired Brandon after the head of a super PAC threatened to cancel millions of dollars to Mike's campaign. So Brandon's gone and Mike Collins promotes a young man named Kip to be his new chief of staff, but then it's revealed Kip's been briefing Nick Fuentes, the Hitler admirer. And Mike's okay with this. Kip's still on the payroll. Mike Collins is a bigot and an anti-Semite under federal investigation for the illegal misuse of tax dollars who lacks the judgment and integrity to serve in the United States Senate.

Your reminder that this sonofabitch Mitch McConnell, stole not 1 but 2 SCOTUS seats and packed the lower court with right-wing fanatics and refused to persuade Republican Senator's to convict Trump in both impeachment trials. He's responsible for this fucking nightmare.

One year after President Trump signed the largest health care cut in U.S. history into law, RFK Jr’s health department is doubling down.

His new rule will require cancer patients and other patients suffering from chronic debilitating diseases to do work searches and document that their disease impairs their ability to work or face losing lifesaving health care coverage through Medicaid. It’s inhumane. 48 patient groups agree.

Congress must block this grotesque rule before it takes effect on January 1st.

Kamlager-Dove on Rubio Iran Briefing: I have to say, the highlight—or lowlight—for me was when Secretary Rubio was asked about the difference between this MOU and the JCPOA. And Marco Rubio essentially said the JCPOA, Obama’s nuclear deal, was a real agreement with criteria, benchmarks, and thresholds.

And this MOU is just a signed piece of paper saying we’re going to continue to talk about talking. So you should ask yourself, a hundred-and-something billion dollars later, what are these people doing with our money and our national security?

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was caught sneaking out of speaker Mike Johnson’s office.

A Supreme Court justice should not have a private meeting with the speaker of the house.

What were they talking about?

Esto es Kentucky (EEUU), una iglesia evangélica organizó una simulación de fusilamiento de inmigrantes delante de niños que acudieron a un campamento de verano.

Puro amor al prójimo, excepto si eres negro, homosexual, inmigrante, comunista o musulmán, entonces toca fusilamiento.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: The Trump Administration REFUSES to release the body cam footage of the shooting of Alex Pretti.

Most transparent administration in history my ASS. Absolutely shameful.

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

If Mitch McConnell and family want privacy, that's fine, but he should resign. Otherwise, he needs to reveal his condition and his ability to do his job.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

Let me tell you what just got reported, because you will not believe it until you see it laid out.

The Trump administration cut a billion-dollar tungsten deal with Kazakhstan. Tungsten is the metal we need for missile warheads, fighter jets, and computer chips. Trump himself got on the phone to close it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked it from the inside, sending letters, leaning on the Kazakh president, lining up as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing.

Within weeks of those negotiations, investors tied to a firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took a 20% stake in an entity connected to the very same Kazakhstan project their father was negotiating. Around that same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Lutnick’s own sons, raised $210 million for a partner in the deal and pocketed the fees.

The fathers set the policy. The sons cashed in.

Six days after the Trump sons and their partners moved their money, Lutnick signed the final deal.

The reporting found one or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies working with the government on critical mining deals.

The total federal funding flowing toward those companies tops $8.9 billion.

This is your tax money.

It is supposed to secure our supply chains and protect our troops, not pad the portfolios of the President’s children and the Commerce Secretary’s children.

This is the most corrupt administration in American history. It is not close.

We must keep digging, and keep asking the questions they do not want asked. Republicans in Congress are unwilling to lift a finger. Mike Johnson is running a protection racket.

Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

A foreign oil giant was under fire from the Trump White House for buying Russian oil. Then it poured nine figures into a troubled refinery startup tied to Donald Trump Jr. Not long after, the pressure from the Trump Administration vanished.

Donald Trump sold it as a win for America. But the real winner was his family.

This is pay to play at the highest levels of government. Welcome to Episode 19 of the Corruption Chronicles.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Biden: The reflecting pool reflects something even worse than the narcissism and incompetence at the core of this administration. It’s the corruption. The corruption. The brazen, blatant corruption. Corruption on a scale never seen before in American history in any administration.

Trump has made billions of dollars since returning to the White House. Simply stunning to me.

He has no shame. Frankly, it’s embarrassing for the country. Trump couldn’t care less.

Making money off the presidency is one of the reasons he wants to be president

[Acyn @Acyn]

Ossoff: There is this beautiful little island off of the Albanian coast. And Jared Kushner wants it. So, he took his Saudi billions and he decided he and Ivanka would buy the island and build a luxury resort, and like clockwork, just a few weeks after Trump wins a second term, Albania's PM grants Jared's company strategic investor status, permitting his expedited to help the American prince develop his new island.

And it turns out that ordinary Albanians are not fans of this arrangement. There are massive protests. Tens of thousands of people in the streets. They are calling at the flamingo revolution. All sparked by opposition to Jared Kushner's land deal. Now Albania's anti-corruption police are getting ball. They froze a bank account controlled by two of Jared's investors, both Syrian billionaires

Do you think Jared Kushner would get special island-buying privileges if you were not the president's son-in-law?

🚨BREAKING: In the Chicago suburbs, an ICE agent assaults a teenager for filming his vehicle, and pointing out that it illegally has no license plate.

In the video, a U.S. citizen is peacefully filming an ICE vehicle, that is sitting in a parking lot. He walks to the back of the SUV to document that it has no license plate.

That’s when the ICE agent jumps out, screaming, “Get away from my vehicle!” while aggressively charging toward the teenager.

The teenager immediately backs away, but the ICE agent keeps walking at him, tries to trip the teenager , and continues yelling… even though neither of them are anywhere near the vehicle anymore.

Filming government officials performing their duties, in public, is protected by the First Amendment. That protection doesn’t disappear just because the official doesn’t like being recorded.

An officer also can’t lawfully use physical force simply because someone is filming them. Using force, to stop someone from recording, is a violation of that person’s constitutional rights.

And let’s not ignore the reason the ICE agent got out of his car in the first place...

Illinois law requires vehicles, driven on public roads, to display valid registration plates. This ICE vehicle is not following that law.

So, if your first instinct, when someone records your conduct, is to assault them… you’re proving exactly why the public is recording in the first place.

New research from @nytimes finds that the US government is actively doing "critical minerals" deals with FOURTEEN different companies that have financial ties to the Trump and/or Lutnick families - deals worth around $9 billion in all:

[Moe Davis (U.S. Air Force, Retired) @ColMoeDavis]

Here’s an in-depth New York Times article on how Trump, his family, and his cronies are abusing their government power to line their pockets and using billions of your tax dollars to facilitate their grifting. Note that the $8.9 billion in federal money going to the 14 Trump and Lutnick companies is equal to the entire amount of federal assistance Western North Carolina has received for Hurricane Helene recovery.

Rampant corruption in plain sight . . . and Republicans see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil.

Here’s an excerpt from the article and a free link to the entire piece:

“Ahead of the deal, the Trump administration approved preliminary applications for as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing for the American company, now called Kaz Resources, which plans to break ground on the project in rural Kazakhstan.

It was not only Mr. Trump and Mr. Lutnick who saw an opportunity.

Their sons were soon doing business with partners in a deal that their fathers were negotiating, continuing a pattern of self-enrichment in the second Trump administration that has few precedents in American history.”

. . . . .

“One or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies that are actively working with the federal government on critical mining deals, including the Kazakhstan project, according to federal filings examined by The New York Times.

All 14 of these companies have either benefited directly from offers of financial assistance from the Trump administration, or have pending permit applications before the Commerce Department, which Mr. Lutnick oversees, The Times found. The total amount of federal funding that the Trump administration has provided or is considering providing to the companies exceeds $8.9 billion, according to public statements by the companies and federal government.”
