Fuck around and find out: Trump and MAGA’s complete incompetence and willful ignorance of reality has finally accomplished the impossible: made the US truly weak and its military ineffectual in global affairs. Thanks assholes. Turns out facts matter. theatlantic.com/international/…

ProPublica obtained a vast cache of IRS information showing how billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk pay little in income tax compared to their massive wealth — sometimes, even nothing. (Pub. 2021) propublica.org/article/the-se…

The administration plans to use claims that "China interfered in the 2020 election as a basis to declare a national emergency that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.” The premise, it almost goes without saying, is a total lie. trib.al/dD7xx4n

Donald Trump ran for office for three reasons: 1) stay out of jail 2) exact revenge on his enemies 3) line his pockets Everything else he says is bullshit.

Petraeus: The U.S. has not remotely learned the lessons it should from Ukraine. This is the future of war: Ukraine alone uses 10,000 drones a day, and 90% of Russian casualties are caused by drones. That should force institutional change. 1/

If this deal with Iran is real, I will welcome it because every day this insane war goes on, America gets weaker. The priority is to end the war - now. But make no mistake: these are Iran’s terms. Our nation emerges humiliated. 1/ A 🧵 on what we know about the deal right now.

Hungary's new leader, Peter Magyar, withdraws the autocratic Viktor Orban's plan to withdraw from the International Criminal Court. If Netanyahu or Gallant dare to show up in Hungary, they will be arrested and delivered to The Hague. trib.al/yO9VklY

Megyn Kelly, who endorsed and campaigned for Trump in the 2024 election: “I didn’t expect the corruption to be quite as widespread as it has been. The self-dealing, the lining of his and his family’s pockets. It’s shocking… You look across the board at the Trump family, I’ve never seen a family get so rich off the presidency.”

In 1998, the United States achieved its first federal budget surplus in 29 years, effectively ending a streak of deficits that had lasted since 1969. ⁠ ⁠ This milestone was achieved under President Bill Clinton, following the passage of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, which resulted in a fiscal surplus of approximately $69 billion for that year.⁠ ⁠

The Justice Department eagerly admits they are erasing press releases about Jan. 6 convicts. Those criminals attacked police and targeted Congress for only one reason that day - because of President Trump's lies about the 2020 election.
DOJ Rapid Response@DOJRR47

Nothing “quiet” about it. We are proud to reverse the DOJ’s weaponization under the Biden administration. We will do everything in our power to make whole those who were persecuted for political purposes. This includes stripping DOJ’s website of partisan propaganda.

The Trump administration is crying wolf over a nonexistent energy emergency, while at the same time undermining every effort made to increase the efficiency, affordability, and reliability of domestic energy markets.

More than 140 officers were injured defending the Capitol on January 6th. They waited six years for the plaque in their honor to be hung in the Capitol. They watched as Donald Trump pardoned every single one of their assailants. Some of them can no longer work and cannot even get disability benefits. But Donald Trump has set aside nearly $2 BILLION of your taxpayer money to pay the criminals who assaulted them. It’s a punch in the face to every police officer in this country who puts his or her life on the line to protect us. I support Officers Daniel Hodges and Harry Dunn in their lawsuit to stop this outrageous scheme.

Keep posting this so people don’t forget how truly bad this event was. Don’t let people gaslight you into thinking it was peaceful and worthy of 1500+ pardons and slush fund payoffs.
