Just so people are really aware of what this means: A Trump appointee has approved Trump’s personal crypto firm to operate as a bank

Corporations can conduct transactions in which the Trump family gets a cut

The public will not have to be informed

There’s no precedent for this

BREAKING: CROOK! Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito gets caught raking in MILLIONS of dollars from fossil fuel profits — even as he hands down rulings in favor of oil companies.

It's high time that we impeached this gussied up gangster...

According to bombshell financial disclosures, Alito and his wife made up to $2.9 million from fossil fuel interests between 2005 and 2024, with the lowest estimate still sitting at a jaw-dropping $400,000.

This is worse than insider trading because Alito directly controls the laws that affect these companies. There is no world in which a man as mercenary and self-serving as this would vote against companies that are putting money directly into his bloated pockets.

Not only has Alito repeatedly voted in favor of fossil fuel companies in the past, but right now the court is preparing to rule on the question of whether or not states can hold oil companies accountable for damage inflicted by climate change, which they have long been aware of and systematically obfuscated.

Care to guess how Alito might rule?

“You might have real appreciation for how that industry has helped make it possible for you to perhaps buy a second home on the water, or live a [certain] lifestyle,” said Lisa Graves, co-founder of Court Accountability which released the analysis.

The case involves Suncor Energy and Exxon and since those are not the energy companies that Alito holds stock in, he is not required to recuse himself under the Supreme Court's outdated ethics rules. Of course, if Suncor and Exxon win their bid to shield themselves from climate lawsuits, it will establish a precedent that will then shield other oil companies, including those that Alito has invested in. Profits will boom.

“A reasonable person would think if you’re invested in the industry that could benefit from the outcome of a lawsuit, then you could personally stand to benefit from the outcome, even if you don’t hold the stock in the specific company that happens to be the named plaintiff,” said Graves.

This is the same Alito who accepted blatant bribes from billionaire Paul Singer in the form of a private-jet trip up to Alaska for a luxury fishing trip. He's not even bothering to hide his graft at this point. Alito is living high on the hog while handing down rulings that wreck our planet, undermine our democracy, and set the stage for fascism.

He must be impeached and the court expanded!

Please ❤️ and share if you support expanding the Supreme Court!

Claims she has a button fitted on her belly, and when she gets the nod that he’s asleep she moves her hand and presses a button that wakes him. They’re calling her The Zapper. No idea if it’s true but it *appears* to line up.

This is why people built guillotines.
GOP Rep. Troy Nehls, when asked about 60% of Americans struggling with affordability: "Affordability? What are you talking about?... I'm gonna get me a couple of big lobster tails. I'm gonna get me some nice rib eyes... Maybe the 60% of Americans don't work as hard as I do."

Taxpayers are spending a billion dollars to retrofit a 400 million dollar plane and Trump gets to keep it?

Hegseth: Nobody makes better or more munitions than the US.

Brennan: But there is a crisis with those stockpiles right now.

Hegseth: That is a manufactured story that the media wants to peddle.

Brennan: You testified under oath that it would take years to rebuild those stockpiles.

tbh, Hegseth shouldn’t be welcomed by American villagers either

Never forget, never forget an American VP @JDVance took time out from his country being at 𝐰𝐚𝐫 to fly over the Atlantic trying to stop Hungarians breaking free from the EU's most corrupt government

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

Holy shit, Kash Patel has been so completely intoxicated, the FBI has had to use "breaching equipment" to gain access to his place, where they could not awaken him.

Fire that guy immediately.

Ted Cruz in 2015: “I’m going to tell you what I really think of Donald Trump. This man is a pathological liar. He doesn’t know the difference between truth and lies. He lies practically every word that comes out of his mouth.”

The Heritage Foundation found 100 noncitizen voting cases since 2000. Out of 1.5 billion ballots. Yet Republicans demand 130 dollar passports from everyone. This isn't security - it’s a poll tax. #SaveActTaxesVoters

This photo deserves a Pulitzer because it shows Federal agents shooting the Pastor of the First Presbyterian church in Chicago with rubber bullets in the head and spraying him with tear gas in the face when he was just there to pray with everyone!

Pete Hegseth’s decision to move to strip @SenMarkKelly of his military retirement pay is an abuse of power, plain and simple. Senator Kelly is a decorated Navy combat pilot, a retired captain, and an American astronaut who has spent his life serving this country.

Smearing a retired officer’s military record because he exercised his First Amendment rights and defended the rule of law is fundamentally un-American.

It sends a chilling message to every current and former service member: speak up against illegal conduct, and you will be targeted.

That is not how a democracy treats those who have worn the uniform.

Hegseth is truly a disgrace.

BREAKING: Trump to pardon former President of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernandez.

He was literally convicted and sentenced to 45 years in prison for drug trafficking — 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S.

How does this make any sense?
