Quoth the Raven Nevermore 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇦

. ❓Did you know❓ In 1981 in the United States, the top 1% of adults earned 27-times what the bottom 50% earned. That’s a huge divide, but it gets worse. By 2016, the top 1% earned a massive *81-times more* than the bottom 50% of the population! 81x’s 😳🤯🤷🏻‍♀️ . #FactsMatter .

Are Trump supporters misinformed, ignorant or just plain stupid?

Another Trump supporter, David Woiwood of Urbandale, Iowa, was arrested & charged with 11 counts of purchasing & possessing child pornography. This comes only weeks after being arrested for soliciting sex from a police detective posing as a 14 yr old boy. weareiowa.com/article/news/c…

@RepMikeLevin @jawja100 Emoluments… 😳🙄🤷🏻‍♀️

Not enough people are talking about this. A Florida airport was renamed after Donald Trump. He walked away with the trademark, the licensing rights, and a deal that lets him profit off every piece of merchandise sold there. But the story of how he got it is even worse. County staff told commissioners that rejecting the name change would put state transportation funding at risk. DeSantis has already removed state attorneys and school board members who dared to cross him. That is the reality the Democratic commissioner who cast the deciding vote was living in when she made her choice: hand Donald Trump control of a public airport or watch Florida Republicans strip funding from the very people she was elected to represent. That is absolutely insane. Florida Republicans handed Trump a money machine and called it a naming rights deal, and the people of Palm Beach County never got a say in any of it. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/m…

The Trump administration wants to drill for oil and gas next to the Grand Canyon. Not a joke. Not a metaphor. 78,000 acres of public land — right next to Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument — quietly proposed for oil and gas leasing in December. Here's what they didn't tell you: Geologists already drilled in this area. They found nothing. An NAU geophysicist says past wells in the region never successfully produced hydrocarbons. Existing wells are mostly abandoned or exploratory. A biologist at the Center for Biological Diversity was blunt: "This lease sale isn't about energy production. It's about extracting money from clueless investors and wasting taxpayer resources." The public comment period closes June 11. If you think your public lands should be protected — not auctioned off for a dry hole — now is the time to say so. What kind of country sells its national monuments to the highest bidder for oil that probably isn't even there? #DemsUnited 📸 Bob Wick / Bureau of Land Management

Our intelligence services reported receiving data, including from American and European partners, about Russia preparing a strike with the Oreshnik missile. We are verifying this information. We are seeing signs of preparation for a combined strike on Ukrainian territory, including Kyiv, involving various types of weaponry. The specified intermediate-range weapons could be used in such a strike. It is important to act responsibly on air-raid alerts, starting this evening. Russian madness truly knows no bounds, so please protect your lives – use shelters. Second, we are drawing the attention of our partners in the United States and in Europe to the fact that the use of such weapons and the prolongation of this war also sets a global precedent for other potential aggressors. If Russia is allowed to destroy lives on such a scale, then no agreement will restrain other similar hatred-based regimes from aggression and strikes. We count on a response from the world – and on a response that is not post factum, but preventive. Pressure must be put on Moscow so that it does not expand the war. Third, we are preparing our air defense as much as possible, and we will respond fully justly to every Russian strike. We have given permission for a parade, but Russia has no permission for madness. This war must be ended – we need peace, not some missiles satisfying the sick ambitions of one individual. I thank everyone helping to protect lives. Once again, please take care of yourselves and use shelters tonight.

Former Trump White House lawyer Ty Cobb rips Trump’s $1.8B defense fund: "this is really just a criminal conspiracy to steal money from the taxpayers."

@MacFarlaneNews @MeidasTouch See this is what a rotten snake Trump is HE PARDONS 1600 Insurrectionists he ordered to attack capitol. But only comuted the ones charged with Seditious Conspiracy, and the press like the synchophants and servile suckers they are give h credit for upholding those convictions.

NEW: Appeals court will allow Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) to file arguments opposing Trump Administration's attempt to dismiss seditious conspiracy convictions of Proud Boys and Oathkeepers in US Capitol Siege Judges want to hear arguments

I am a US citizen, but I have never in my life been so disappointed with the US. The reasons are many: 1. The US people have elected a president who represent all the deadly sins. How could they do that? Are they so morally deprived? 2. Lying has been normalized. Trump made it the standard. 3. The US used to claim the non-partisan rule of law, but SCOTUS has been proven utterly corrupt & obedient to Trump. 4. The US used to boast about its checks and balances, but they don't exist. The republicans in Congress are obedient servants of one man. 5. The US used to oppose corruption, but the Trump crime family is probably the most corrupt ruling family in the world. How can SCOTUS & the republicans in Congress accept that? 6. The US used to be considered a democracy, but massive gerrymandering & voter discrimination make US elections not very democratic. 7. Reporters without Broders have rightly lowered the US to rank #64 in its sound World Press Freedom index. the US no longer has media freedom, because of extortion and oppression through defamation court cases. 8. The US used to be the security guarantee of the free world, but Trump only praises Xi Jingping, Putin, Lukashenko & Kim Jong Un. Is the US able to extract itself from the Trump trap, in which it has fallen so deeply?

People+press are missing the true intent of the Trump administration's Jan. 6 compensation fund. The purpose is to tell the **NEXT INSURRECTIONISTS** that Trump admin will 1. PARDON THEM 2. PAY THEM $$$ When they commit insurrection in ***2028*** That is the true purpose IMO.

ALERT: DC watchdog group C.R.E.W. files suit seeking court order to HALT Trump $1.7 billion slush fund Suit: "The slush Fund is a jaw-dropping act of presidential corruption. And it is brazenly illegal. Unlike prior victim compensation funds, it was not authorized by Congress"

An extraordinary rebuke of Todd Blanche and his Justice Dept. Court dismisses indictment of Abrego Garcia (an exceedingly rare outcome in a criminal case). Finding of vindictive prosecution and "an abuse of prosecuting power." The opinion name checks Blanche nearly 30 times.

The Trump FDA story is crazy Big Tobacco donated $5,000,000 to Trump's super PAC Two days later, Reynolds American's executives met with Trump at his Florida golf club to demand the FDA reverse its flavored vape ban Trump then personally called RFK Jr. and his health secretary to complain about the ban Then questioned the FDA commissioner directly for not moving fast enough The FDA commissioner who said no resigned days later and so did RFK Jr.'s chief spokesperson, citing the vape policy as the reason Then the ban was lifted within a week The White House says it had nothing to do with the $5,000,000

BREAKING: Protestors in Greenland are outside the U.S. embassy chanting “Go Home USA.” This is what Donald Trump has done to our nation. He’s made us a global embarrassment.

This is rotten to the core. Howard Lutnick, the Commerce Secretary, cut a $5 million check to the Congressional Leadership Fund on April 1, just weeks after agreeing to testify before the House Oversight Committee about his past ties to Jeffrey Epstein. That testimony happened on May 6. The super PAC he wrote that check to is the main vehicle backing House Republicans and Speaker Mike Johnson, the very people deciding how hard to press him. Lawmakers were reportedly weighing a subpoena before Lutnick agreed to show up voluntarily. His name appears in more than 250 Epstein-related records. He long claimed he hadn’t seen Epstein after 2005, but records show he visited Epstein’s private island in 2012 with his family. He called the encounters “meaningless and inconsequential.” A $5 million donation from a sitting cabinet secretary to the party running the investigation into him is not a coincidence. It is not normal. It is not how a healthy democracy works. If a Democratic cabinet official did this, every Republican in Washington would be screaming for hearings, indictments, and resignations. The silence tells you everything. Release the Epstein files. All of them. The American people deserve to know who protected this monster, who profited from his network, and who is paying to make the questions go away. mediaite.com/media/news/how…

Literal definition of Orwellian

Ken Paxton said Uvalde was "God's plan." He was impeached by his own party for bribery and corruption. He gave a child sex abuser a 60 day sentence This is exactly the reason Trump endorsed him. One criminal endorsing another

Morning everyone. Do you know that your President just exempted himself, his family, and all his family's companies from our tax laws? You are subject to the law. Now he is not. No one should not pretend this is okay or normal. It's an ongoing constitutional crisis.

🚨“IT’S F*CKING PATHETIC” Wow! Congressman Pat Ryan went OFF on Republicans for shutting down Congress to avoid an up or down vote on the Iran War - and he’s rightfully PISSED! “These CHICKEN HAWK MORHER F*CKERS are gonna send us home for Memorial Day weekend?… Americans are paying almost $5 a gallon at the pump. It is f*cking pathetic. And they use this procedural bullshit argument, and every American should just be absolutely outraged about this.” GET THEM, REP. RYAN!
