Not a single Democrat or self-proclaimed moderate should vote to confirm anybody to the Supreme Court over the next two years. And if you have a problem with that, blame Mitch McConnell.
WTF timeline are we on. Someone called me the MAGA whisperer and I’ll gladly take the title. Left, right, D or R we all want the same things. We’re being divided on purpose by the Epstein Elite Oligarch class because as long as we’re at each other’s throats, they get fat and rich off of our misery. The second we figure out we agree on more than we disagree, they’re done. Love your neighbor. Be yourself. Radical honesty. No fucks given, no fucks taken. Everything else is just noise. (But still fuck Jake “Brick Tamland” Tapper on any time line)
What Republicans are doing in Tennessee today and across the country is a stain on our nation’s soul.
This Supreme Court will be remembered as the most corrupt in history.
This is *insane.* Even if you are too tired to follow the news you have to understand this. The Louisiana governor has *suspended an active congressional election with 42k votes already cast* — it's insane.
Incredible reporting from the WSJ on how the DOJ’s antitrust division is being gutted by a pay-to-play system. Just more betrayal for anyone who thought this administration would look out for the little guy.
At the heart of the scandal is Mike Davis. He’s a lobbyist who reportedly charges corporate giants like Walmart, HPE, and Live Nation $300,000 a month to bypass career experts and get mergers approved. He’s also a full-time aggressive shitposter on X.
According to sworn testimony, Davis threatened to destroy the job of the DOJ’s antitrust head that he had previously vouched for and called a “good friend” (Gail Slater). This was because she wouldn’t sign off on a settlement for his client, HPE. It worked. Slater was ousted just last month, her deputies were fired, and Davis got his deal approved.
When Slater posted her resignation with "great sadness," Davis’s public response on X was “Good riddance.” He’s even taken credit for her removal in other posts. This is how he treats "friends" who stand in the way of his $300k-a-month clients.
The article details a pattern of corruption. In the Compass real estate merger, Davis went over the heads of investigators to kill a routine probe into a company that controls 20% of the housing market. The merger combined the #1 (Compass) and #2 (Anywhere Real Estate) largest brokerages in the country by sales volume.
The previous administration brought a massive lawsuit to break up the Live Nation-Ticketmaster monopoly. Instead of a courtroom battle to lower ticket prices, the deal was backchanneled at the White House while the DOJ’s own trial lawyers were kept in the dark — they didn't even see the term sheet until the judge did. It was a total surrender, again orchestrated by Mike Davis.
This is exactly what the swamp looks like. We’re told this is a populist movement, but the DOJ is currently operating as a private concierge service for the highest bidder. People like Mike Davis can threaten public officials into submission, and the American consumer is the one who pays the price through higher costs and less competition.
If you’re wondering why your bills are going up and monopolies are getting stronger, look no further than swamp creatures like Mike Davis. Apparently the DOJ’s integrity is for sale.

BREAKING: A growing protest movement is calling for boycotting filing taxes until all Epstein Files are released because we're funding a government clearly controlled by sex-trafficking murderers blackmailing or bribing Trump, the GOP, the media, banks, and all tech companies.
They arrested Don Lemon. This is horrifying. I don’t care what your political beliefs or leanings are, what journalism outlet you represent, this absolutely cannot stand.
Edward Norton: “These are not normal times. We have extrajudicial assaults on Americans going on a daily basis now and it’s not okay. We cannot act like this is not happening. What they’re doing in Minnesota with the strike needs to expand. I think we should be talking about a national general economic strike until this is over”
