@Dienne_7 @BrianSBU2011 You don't vote for it, but you get it anyway. Cool.

@BrianSBU2011 No, it's a demonstration that I don't vote for genocide. Sorry you do.

Don't blame the left when you lose.

We now go MAGA doing a victory lap over the reopening of the Straight of Hormuz…..

@RVAwonk Dems should arm up as well. As a contrast, they could be open about it and use A.I. to spread facts about the Trump economy.

As we head towards midterm elections, NYT says it has identified “hundreds” of fake AI-generated pro-Trump social media accounts. Trump has reposted content from at least one of the fake accounts.

@certaresnovis @Ric_RTP It's amazing how many Trump insiders and enablers are gay.

@Ric_RTP We live in strange times. This is just not a guy I would see on the street or the TV and think “I bet he putts from the rough” But sure enough, he does. He also worked for Soros. And likes to tank national currencies in his spare time.

Trump is about to lock 157 million Americans out of their own bank accounts. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed an executive order forcing every US bank to collect proof of citizenship is "in process." And he just doubled down: "If Treasury and the banking regulators say it's their job, it's their job." This sounds irrelevant but here's what this really means: Per the Congressional Research Service, only 48% of Americans hold a US passport. That leaves over 170 million Americans without one. REAL IDs don't count. Driver's licenses don't count. Social Security cards don't count. Per Wall Street Journal reporting, banks will need a passport or birth certificate. The Brennan Center found 21.3 million voting-age US citizens don't have documents proving their citizenship easily available. These are Americans who are about to lose access to their own bank accounts. And here's the thing: The order applies to new AND existing customers. Banks could be forced to close accounts of people who can't produce documents. Your 78-year-old grandmother born at home in 1948. Your naturalized dad who lost his papers 30 years ago. Your cousin mid-passport renewal. The official story is that this stops illegal immigrants from accessing banking. But the actual reality: Illegal immigrants can't open US bank accounts anyway. Know Your Customer rules already require SSNs or ITINs. The existing system ALREADY blocks what this order claims to block. So who does this actually target? The half of Americans without a passport. Rural Americans. Elderly Americans born before centralized record-keeping. Black Americans in Southern states where birth records were historically unreliable. Low-income Americans who can't afford $225 for an expedited passport. The American Action Forum, a center-right think tank, estimates this adds 33 to 73 million paperwork hours and $2.6 to $5.6 billion in compliance costs. Guess who pays those costs? You do. Through fees. Through closed accounts. Through denied loans. Bessent's defense quote: "I have a place in the UK, they want to know who lives in every apartment." Bessent's net worth: $600 million. He has a "place in the UK." He will not be affected by this. So this isn't really about immigration. For the first time in American history, access to the banking system would be conditioned on proving citizenship to the federal government. That creates a permanent database linking every American's finances to their citizenship status. Once that database exists, it gets used by ICE, voting enforcement, tax enforcement, Social Security, and future administrations for purposes nobody has announced yet. Every future government gets the keys to decide who has a bank account based on paperwork. And Wall Street's reaction tells you everything: Bank execs privately called it "unworkable" and "a complete nightmare." One researcher called it "a way to weaponize the banking system to achieve political ends." They're not pushing back because they love immigrants. They just KNOW the compliance costs are catastrophic and half their customers will walk. Tom Cotton also introduced a companion bill in March making it a federal crime for any unauthorized person to "open or maintain a US bank account." Maintain. Meaning existing accounts. These things are literally being drafted right now. I'm surprised that all of this went under the radar.

@StephenM Welfare pays $40K a year??

An illegal alien who gives birth to a child on US soil can easily collect welfare benefits worth 40K annually.

@knight_pat80320 @ImBreckWorsham If that's true. Photos from the bleachers after the fact are very odd as well.

@ImBreckWorsham A man was killed because of his staged assassination. A man was killed! If he doesn't give a shit about that, he sure as hell doesn't give a shit about any of us.

This.

@jmbprime You DON'T KNOW ?!?

It is becoming more apparent that a main goal of the Trump administration is to destabilize Europe and NATO while supporting Russia. This is a total reversal of previous administrations. The question that needs to be asked and answered is Why.

@Intifada4Life @queenxofpeace There are alternatives.

@queenxofpeace Microsoft Word was perfected in 2003. Every iteration since has made it worse, and AI has made it into something I wish I could beat to death with my bare fists.

in a world full of fake performative AI slop girlbosses we have HER

@2stoked4u @ImBreckWorsham @accordingtowoz Definitely worth investigating. I wondered why activity on his Xitter account had essentially stopped the prior October. No posts after that. Just replies. And a very brief, sparse account history yet thousands of followers. (Screen capped shortly after the events).

@ImBreckWorsham @accordingtowoz Was the death of Corey Comperatore staged too?

I worked for years as a victims rights advocate and Officer of the Court. Butler was staged. How do I know? Never once in all my time in that role did a victim of a violent crime come forth and request the investigation be closed.

@ImBreckWorsham That and just looking at the thing. 🤷‍♂️ Glad MAGA is finally catching on.

@clashreport What happened to the millions of dollars of steak and lobster the DoD purchased in September?

📸 Meal onboard USS Tripoli amphibious assault ship. A small scoop of shredded meat and a single folded tortilla.

@EPICGOPFAIL Something looks off with that baby, too.

oh, the grift, she never ends!

@MortenStostad Plus, where would they go?

The Norwegian example is illustrative. In the last few years, our wealth tax received massive media attention, described by media outlets as leading to an "exodus" of the wealthy. But only ~1.7% of the ultra-wealthy actually left. Tax revenue boomed

@duty2warn @CheriJacobus

@CheriJacobus Nor is grammar.

Grammer isn't Trump's strong point.

@TheTNHoller @mrjamesob It's telling that the image made front page in England -- because it is genuinely outrageous. But in America it's simply another roll-eyes moment for the jaded and exhausted.

🔥 🇬🇧 @mrjamesob: “He’s looking at this picture and telling YOU that anyone claiming he’s being depicted as Jesus is a liar… it’s the behavior of an abusive partner.”

@ImBreckWorsham Wednesday is tee-off day. 🤷‍♂️

Trump now claims war in Iran is now over and victory has been achieved. What the fuck is it with this guy and Tuesdays????

@emptywheel @USAttyPirro Oh, so the Epstein party wants to start jailing younger kids. What could go wrong?

WOWOW!!! The DAY after posting this @USAttyPirro decided to coddle up to adjudged terrorists. We can't have a terrorist sympathizer in charge of DC USAO. Resign, Jeanine. Stop coddling adjudged terrorists.

@EPICGOPFAIL How strange! Oh well, it's a pretty big world, I guess! 😛

Peskov says he has no idea who Orban is. Nobody in Kremlin has ever even heard of him.

@PamphletsY Capitalism relies on government intervention.

🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING — Mayor Mamdani: Margaret Thatcher said, "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money." If anything, my friends, it seems that you eventually need a socialist to clean up the mess (of Capitalism).

@CaliDreamingof @MatrixMysteries She conveniently didn't say she mostly worked part time.

@MatrixMysteries Total BS for $1000, Alex. Unless, of course, this woman was a burger flipper for 36 years. Otherwise, how the hell do you work for 36 years and only make 11K per year?

“I worked my WHOLE life. 36 YEARS. Paid taxes EVERY single year.” Outside the Social Security office, she’s trying to understand why her check is only $876 a month. “After a lifetime of work… this is all I get? Meanwhile, billions are sent to ILLEGALS who never paid a dime.”
