Do you not despise Trump enough? Then read this:
Today, the Trump Interior Department and Commerce Department announced a rule that says that destroying an endangered species’ nest or habitat would NO LONGER be considered illegal. (MAN this pisses me off!)
Why would the scumbag f*ckfaces do this, you ask?
So that fossil fuel companies, agricultural interests, land developers, and others can disturb and destroy the habitats of vulnerable species, of course.
Environmental law firms plan to challenge the final rule in court, charging that it violates the Endangered Species Act as well as a 1995 SCOTUS decision.
🚨CAUGHT ON TAPE: Trump ADMITS the SAVE Act is designed to disenfranchise voters: "Republicans have to win this one. We'll never lose a race for 50 years."
He’s talking about YOU. Your vote gone. Your voice erased. So they never have to answer to YOU again.
#SAVEActIsPayToVote
1,200 former DOJ employees have just sent a letter urging Senators not to confirm Todd Blanche as AG:
"In the coming weeks, many will rightly underscore the corruption and abuses that have defined the Justice Department under Todd Blanche’s leadership: the vindictive prosecutions and investigations of the President’s foes; the deals designed to reward lawbreakers with taxpayer dollars; the erasure of accountability for January 6; the mishandling of the Epstein files; and the denigration of judges and repeated violations of their orders... For the sake of the institution where we once proudly served, we urge you to reject Todd Blanche’s nomination."
New: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years — despite warning voters that “it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records.” https://t.co/MwZhEg3EJl
ALERT: More than 1,200 former Dept of Justice employees have signed etter urging Senators to block Todd Blanche’s confirmation
There are so many signatures… this letter consume 59 pages. It was distributed by @Justice_CXN

This is the very definition of corruption. President Trump’s sons, Eric and Don Jr., are tied to at least ten defense firms that have raked in $3.7 BILLION in federal contracts since his second term began. We cannot normalize this grift. America deserves better than the Pentagon serving as a Trump Family ATM.
op: @msnownews
A measure adopted after Watergate to require an annual audit of the president’s tax return appears to have been ignored for Trump. Before first taking office, Trump had only one auditor assigned to untangle 400+ Trump Organization entities.
I urged creating a task force to actually review Trump’s returns and support a real audit.
We just hit a harrowing milestone. There are now 1,000 hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics that have closed or are on the verge of closing since Republicans gutted Medicaid and the ACA to fund tax cuts the wealthy.
Billionaires over patients. With deadly consequences.
WWII Veteran and Purple Heart recipient Robert Hilliard:
"Next week I'll be 101 years old. In February 1944 when I was 18 years old I was inducted into the army and what they taught me to do there was to kill people who set up detention camps. Can you imagine how I felt earlier this year when they announced that one of the future detention camps would be at that same camp landing in Florida? We have a fascist, a fascist government, that allows innocent people to be put in detention camps and incarcerated."

Attention ABC and CBS: This is how you handle it when a fascist is pushing you around. You don’t cave in, fire people, cancel shows, and give him loads of cash to make him leave you alone. You fucking fight back.
Edward Norton: “Trump is worse than Nixon and McNamara by far, Trump and Hegseth. We’re in a level of incompetency and grift and corruption that is unprecedented in the history of this country”
Michelle Obama: We simply don't have the luxury or time to be cynical or complacent, to wring our hands in despair, or to wait for someone else to fix the problem. Hope is all we have, because hope is the essential spark that lights the fire of change. But hope is a choice. Whether or not we use our voices to speak up is a choice. Voting is a choice. Being a decent human being is a choice. Believing that we still hold the power to build a country that reflects us all is a choice.
Seven years ago, we learned about Bob Mueller’s conclusions. Today, there are a lot of posts on social media claiming it was a farce, or worse, a fraud. But those posts are disinformation. Here is the actual information, with links for those who want to do a deep dive. https://t.co/vvE1QYdFZr
BAM! Colombia has announced a historic ban on all new oil and large-scale mining projects in its part of the Amazon Rainforest, protecting an area roughly the size of Sweden. 🌿
Experts say the move could help protect one of the planet’s most important ecosystems—often called the “lungs of the Earth.” 🌎🌳
Nature is amazing. Protect it.

🚨THIS IS CRIMINAL!!
A DOGE lead just testified under oath that he emailed classified government documents to his personal device and then sent them over Signal.
Under oath.
This is not a leak. This is not a whistleblower. This is a deposition.
Signal auto-deletes messages. Personal devices have no government security protocols. This is textbook mishandling of federal records — the same thing they spent four years prosecuting Hillary Clinton over.
The same DOGE that accessed Social Security databases.
The same DOGE that accessed Treasury payment systems.
The same DOGE that accessed Pentagon personnel files.
Emailing government documents to a personal device and routing them through an encrypted auto-deleting app is not a mistake.
That is a method.
The question is who was on the other end of those Signal messages.
Former Army JAG here. No quarter orders are a violation of the law of war and Geneva conventions.
This is the same order reportedly given during the Caribbean boat strikes. @SecWar is establishing a pattern of issuing illegal orders.
I’ve trained hundreds of soldiers on the law of war — our service members have an obligation to follow that law.
This exchange just happened on the Senate floor.
Cornyn: “I don’t understand how the SAVE Act disenfranchises voters.”
Durbin: “Happy to explain. Driver’s licenses don’t qualify under the bill. 50% of Americans don’t have passports.”
Cornyn: “Why not just amend it?”
Durbin: “When’s the last time the Senate actually amended a bill?”
Silence.
The SAVE Act requires passport-level documentation to register to vote.
50% of Americans don’t have a passport.
The people least likely to have passports: the elderly, the poor, rural Americans, young first-time voters.
The people most likely to have passports: wealthy Americans.
This is not voter protection.
This is voter selection.
And when a senator suggested fixing it — his own colleague couldn’t name the last time the Senate amended anything.
That’s the Senate in 2026.
