Retired GM engineer Tom Smith could not figure out an FEC website, but he did beat Trump's endorsed candidate, despite dropping out of his race. His charming handwritten FEC letter recently went viral. bit.ly/4fNVocc

The news story about Donald Trump being desperate for immunity for tax fraud & the news story about Donald Trump being kicked to the curb by Capital One for widespread money laundering are RELATED.

Every court victory matters, but some are sweeter than others. Congrats to the Elias Law Group team and our client Senate Majority PAC for this well earned victory for free speech and the 1st Amendment.
Hegseth, Patel, etc. have man bits, so they can mess up everything without repercussions. In contrast, women in Trump's administration are fired much more quickly. So Pirro is on the chopping block.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4d agoTrump: “I disagree 100% with Jeanine Pirro on the Reflecting Pool. I don’t know what she was thinking? To me, it was a pure case of VANDALISM, that included the grass, which had a big 86 47 emblazoned …There may have been some contractor difficulty, but major damage was caused by VANDALS!”
Anyone who joins the US military under Trump has no regard for human life and is about to commit war crimes. You're aiding and abetting murder for your own gain. Just know that Trump doesn't care if you end up as cannon fodder. You are not a hero, just a sad idiot without any principles.
"[T]he Fund is now not going forward." Yeah, not now, but as soon as Blanche is confirmed.
Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · 5d agoI couldn't make this up if I tried. DOJ argues in a motion today that "It is undisputed that the fund is now not going forward." Sure, Jan. www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-90-min...
I used to read the NBC News website. They won't let me anymore without subscribing. I guess Comcast is trying to pretend it's profitable before the spin-off for favorable validation. I hope it backfires.
Hegseth's cohort protects their own with ridiculous outcomes, especially if dealing with rapists in their rows. It looks like court martials for rape are a joke in the US military. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Dear Democratic Party, you're shooting yourself in the foot with your constant barrage of spammy text messages. No matter how often I opt out, I get swamped by ads for out-of-state congressional candidates, often allegedly from the same celebrity, just from a different number. So no more donations.
This Proves Three Things: 1. Trump and Hegseth disrespect those who die serving this country; 2. Trump’s “ceasefires” are meant to manipulate markets, not stop military engagement; and 3. Trump will dishonor our troops to maintain his "ceasefire" pretexts to avoid War Powers Act deadlines.

Before you know it, Kegsbreath will encourage the prescription of anabolic steroids because they're only illegal in the military if not prescribed by a physician. An overly aggressive, violent army army in collective roid rage is obviously his fever dream. apnews.com/article/hegs...
Hegseth announces new policy to test troops for low testosterone
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says he's rolling out a new screening program for “testosterone deficiency” among troops.

You can be the crypto industry's biggest profiteer, or you can be a president for working people. You can't be both. Trump’s $2.2 billion in corrupt crypto profits says which one he chose.
“You lie. You lie all the time,” the school owner said to the student. She then directed classmates to attack him. She gave one a high-five. This private school, funded with tax dollars, is among an explosion of private schools in the past 3 years. www.propublica.org/article/arks...

Sure, Scott Jennings talked to Moscow Mitch today, just like Trump spoke to Teddy Roosevelt six days ago.
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 4w agoSo the person vouching that Mitch is alive and lucid is the well-known truth teller Scott Jennings who also wants his seat.
Ice cubes for the price of salmon. That's what the world needs right now. "Frozen" ice cubes - as opposed to what, melted ice cubes? Let them eat cake!
Unlike Ron, I'm content with him blocking a senate seat without being able to vote. It would be best if his death was only announced after it's too late for a special election, and he'd only be replaced when the reelection for his seat comes up anyway in the general election.
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · last mo.It would be nice if we could get some proof at some point that Mitch McConnell is still alive.
Hey Clarence Thomas, if undocumented immigrants and tourists are not "subject to the jurisdiction" of the US, how can they be arrested under US laws? The only people residing in the US who are not "subject to the jurisdiction" are those with immunity, like diplomats.
After I recorded this in my backyard, I played it back. Mr. Wren got really agitated, trying to chase me away. Sorry, Buddy!
Happy Father's Day everybody! Enjoy this picture from my backyard taken a couple of weeks ago.
NEW: Records obtained by ProPublica detail at least a dozen SpaceX investors with addresses in mainland China, Hong Kong or Russia who acquired stakes in SpaceX years ago through a middleman firm in the U.S. called Tomales Bay Capital.
Before SpaceX IPO, Investors in China Secretly Acquired Stakes
One previously unreported SpaceX investor has ties to Chinese military contractors. The information was revealed only after ProPublica went to court to obtain it.

Thank you, @mikebatt.bsky.social! My two signed CDs of your Symphony No. 1 "Ukraine" arrived today at my home in Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States. I have heard a few bits of it from your posted videos, but I'm looking forward to listening to the symphony in its entirety tonight. Thanks again!
Inevitably, if an inexperienced mediocre white male with a big ego loses in an election against two hard-working and experienced women of color, the election must be rigged. After all, the women don't have penises, the only necessary and sufficient qualification.
