BREAKING: HELL YES! New York Assemblymember Alex Bores introduces legislation for the state to seize 100% of every dollar from Trump's illegal slush fund that New Yorkers try to claim. This is how we fight back against this corruption... "I just introduced the Anti-Insurrectionist Act in NY. It's simple: If you're a New Yorker who takes from Trump's illegal January 6th slush fund, NY will tax 100% of it," Bores wrote on X. It's a novel approach to a novel problem. Trump is stealing our tax dollars and using them to pay off the MAGA lunatics who stormed our capital and tried to overturn our democracy. Worse yet, bribing them in this fashion incentivizes them to support an insurrection in the future if Trump decides to launch another. "Trump just created a $1.8 billion slush fund to pay off January 6th insurrectionists using your tax dollars," Bores stated in a video announcing his bill. "No congressional approval, no oversight, just pure corruption. A slush fund created by a lawless President for his insurrectionist followers." "Today I introduce the New York Anti-Insurrectionist Act. This bill would create a 100% state income tax on any New Yorker who collects from this fund," he continued. "It's simple, if you're a New Yorker and you take from this illegal slush fund, New York State will tax 100% of it." "If you storm the Capitol and you take from the slush fund, too bad, we're taking it. I'm Alex Bores, New York State Legislator, running for Congress to take on Trump in DC," he concluded. While it's unclear how this bill would fair in court if passed and signed into law, it is EXACTLY the kind of tactic that Democrats need to be deploying at every level of government. The only way to stop this all-out fascist assault on our country is to fight Trumpism with every tool in our arsenal. We need a strategy of maximum legal warfare. Hit them from so many angles that they don't know which way is up! Just imagine, if states seize the slush fund money, your tax dollars could be spent on roads, education, and housing instead of wasted on yachts for sex offenders in MAGA hats. Please ❤️ and share if you'd support a bill like this in your state!

Nevada's "Swiss Alps" are about to be handed to the oil and gas industry. And it passed by a single Senate vote. The Ruby Mountains are glacier-carved peaks soaring above sapphire alpine lakes. Wildflower meadows. Crystal streams. Nevada's largest mule deer herd. Bighorn sheep. Mountain goats. Lahontan cutthroat trout — threatened and irreplaceable. The ancestral homeland of the Te-Moak Tribe of the Western Shoshone. Hunters, anglers, hikers, skiers — people have traveled from across the country to be here for generations. There is nowhere else in Nevada like this. On May 11, by one Senate vote, the Biden-era Public Lands Rule was repealed. The rule that required conservation to be weighed equally alongside drilling, mining, and logging. Gone. And the Ruby Mountains — 264,000 acres — were already open to oil and gas leasing. Geologists say the area has low to no oil potential. Industry has shown little interest. So why strip the protection? The fired Lake Mead ecologist said it plainly: "We have to make sure that we don't do something that we can't undo." Once these lands are leased — they're locked out of conservation for up to 30 years. You cannot un-drill a glacier-carved canyon. If this land has low oil potential and industry still isn't rushing in — what exactly is being taken, and who profits when it's gone? #DemsUnited

When you invite filth to your country.. Russian tourists in Thailand face deportation and a 99-year entry ban due to a series of unpaid restaurant visits. According to media reports, a man and a woman regularly visit establishments, order food, and then stage a "language barrier" drama when presented with the bill, attempting to leave without paying. Cafe and restaurant owners are already circulating their photos with a fraud warning. Such scams in Thailand can result in arrest, detention in a migration prison, and severe immigration sanctions.

Clarence took a paid helicopter ride to Putin's hometown His wife, Ginny wrote to over 30 states, offering to help flip the 2020 vote outcome Alito hung a flag upside down in front of his home to pay homage to cop killers and lawbreakers Time to change the way things are going, no?

New reporting reveals that the Trump admin plans to send Americans exposed to Ebola to Kenya for treatment instead of bringing them to the US for care. Treating American patients in America, safely contained in specialized medical units, has been the norm in previous administrations.

@Michell33650674 He will definitely try again. He’s probably rigging them already. It’s appalling to me that there are not investigating this properly even after Ashley St Clair came forward. Something has to be done. Elon has to be stopped.

THIS ASSHOLE IS THE REASON TRUMP IS BACK IN OFFICE. LET'S MAKE SURE HE GOES TO PRISON WHEN ALL THE GOP ARE VOTED OUT! IF THE ELECTION IS RIGGED AGAIN, WE MUST REVOLT! THE VAST MAJORITY OF AMERICA WANTS THE ENTIRE TRUMP REGIME AND GOP GONE!

So much for “unconditional surrender.”

Paxton only returned the stolen pen after the courthouse security cameras showed he was the one who took it.

40 million Ukrainians are crying out for help. Terrible weeks lie ahead; anti-aircraft missiles are running low, and Ukrainian cities are left unprotected: Zelenskyy’s letter to Trump has been released. The letter further states that during the last massive attack on Kyiv and the Oreshniki region, only two missiles remained. Further statements made by Zelenskyy in the letter to the US President: Every day, we lose people and infrastructure to Russian attacks. That is why we deeply appreciate any support for Ukraine’s air defense capabilities. Even when we ourselves are under fire, we do not leave our friends without assistance. For we understand what is at stake—and how much could be lost. Ukraine has raised its interception rate for Russian attack drones—including "Shaheds"—to over 90 percent. This Ukrainian experience has already helped countries in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf region strengthen their own defense capabilities. When Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Kuwait, and others reached out to us, I told them that Ukraine could not stand idly by. We were ready to stand by their side. Given the existential threat posed to our nation by Russia—and having received extraordinary support from you, the United States, in defending the lives of our people and Ukraine’s independence—I am convinced that we have a moral duty and responsibility to stand by your side, and by the side of all those who champion security and freedom. And we believe that true alliances rest upon such foundations. When it comes to missile defense, we rely on our friends and partners around the world. And when it comes to defending against ballistic missiles, we rely almost exclusively on the United States. Patriot systems remain the most effective means of countering any type of Russian ballistic missile. And specifically in Ukrainian hands, Patriot systems have demonstrated something of enormous significance: that most Russian missiles can be intercepted. Russian officials are threatening to make attacks—such as the one launched against Kyiv on the eve of Memorial Day—a permanent feature of a broader and more systematic campaign. We are aware that there is currently high demand for Patriot interceptor missiles in other regions—particularly given the situation in the Persian Gulf and other growing security challenges. For us—a nation fighting for its very survival—there is scarcely anything more painful than finding Patriot batteries left without missiles. I ask for your assistance in protecting Ukrainian airspace from Russian missiles. We understand that the United States continues to bear responsibility for its own defense, as well as for the defense of its allies and partners. And we agree that Europe must assume a greater role in ensuring its own security. Yet, after everything we have endured together—have we not earned a place among your allies? Scaling up Patriot production could be one of the most significant joint contributions to the security of America, Ukraine, Europe, and your allies around the world. Putin has already lost in a historic sense. Now, in the fifth year of this war, Russia has failed to defeat a country backed by the democratic world—a country with no Western troops on its soil, yet with strong Western support helping us to defend ourselves. This reality has already shattered Moscow’s global ambitions. Putin has also lost the Black Sea. Without a major navy of our own, we have pushed back Russia’s Black Sea Fleet using our drones, forcing the Russian fleet to hide in distant ports. And even there, we continue to reach them. Yet, as long as Putin retains even a single significant advantage in conventional weaponry, he will shun traditional diplomacy. Today, his ballistic missiles remain precisely that—his last major advantage on the battlefield.

Freut ihr euch schon auf den #Pridemonth ?

Guten Morgen liebe Demokrat*innen. Einen erfolgreichen Wochenteilertag euch allen

Verbrecherbande! #ClankriminalitätVerbieten☝️

Blocken ist eigentlich ganz einfach – außer für AfD-Fans. Die jammern, weil sie selbst das nicht hinkriegen und lachen über ihre eigene Blödheit.

YES: Thomas Massie to read the redacted names of Epstein's billionaires aloud on the House floor, and thanks to a constitutional loophole, nobody can stop him or sue him for it.

JUST IN : Iranian state media announces initial details of the Memorandum of Understanding aimed at ending the war between the United States and Iran. Under the proposed framework, Iran would restore commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz to prewar levels within a month, while the United States would withdraw military forces from the vicinity of Iran and lift its naval blockade. Iranian state media says military vessels are not included in the draft agreement and that Iran would manage ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz in coordination with Oman. State TV said the framework is not yet finalized and that Tehran would take no steps without “tangible verification.” It added that if a final agreement is reached within 60 days, it could be approved as a binding UN Security Council resolution. So after months of war, destruction, and escalation, we’re basically back to where things were before the conflict despite Trump demanding Iran’s “unconditional surrender,” only now the regime in Tehran is even more extreme and emboldened. A total disaster.

The Justice Dept. says it released millions of Epstein files. But NPR reports FBI logs reference interviews tied to allegations against President Donald Trump that were not visible in the public archive. …eintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/fbi-intervie…

➡️Die USA sind nicht einmal mal mehr bereit, Russlands Verbrechen zu verurteilen. ➡️Gleichzeitig kapitulieren sie faktisch vor dem Mullah-Regime im Iran. 🚨Die Trump-Regierung hat das Land diplomatisch, militärisch und moralisch herunter gewirtschaftet. ➡️Die USA waren bei ihren langjährigen Partnern seit 1945 nie so unbeliebt und hatten weltweit nie so wenig Einfluss wie heute. 🙏Es bleibt zu hoffen, dass das Ende von Trump auch das Ende dieser dunkelsten Ära in 250 Jahren stolzer Geschichte der Vereinigten Staaten sein wird.
