Just so everyone knows, by confirming Todd Blanche, this means that Trump can become a full-blown dictator. GOP Congress has said they will do absolutely nothing to stop Trump. Todd Blanche says he will do anything that Trump asks. The 6-3 Supreme Court is corrupt. All we have left are lower courts.
Important read. I’m pretty confident that the vast majority of humans do NOT choose to burn up & starve on an unlovable fiery planet. Why are we letting these profit-obsessed death cult freaks decide the future for all of us?
George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 15h agoMy column on how capital becomes a death cult. Faced with a choice between profit and human life, the radical right chooses profit. Then it tries to persuade us that mass death is what we want. It's the new phase of climate denial: accept your fate, earthlings. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
2. Break their monopolies. Seize their estates. Confiscate their wealth. They have built a system by which to steal our freedom as well as our money. They are criminals. We should treat them as such.

WHY WOULD ANY USA CITIZEN BE EXEMPT FROM A TAX AUDIT??? Especially The President? He is not a KING ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Indeed. There is no legal basis for the DOJ memo. However, as we have seen, a DOJ memo can change behavior such that rule of law is IGNORED by those with power! The memo provides the proverbial "fig leaf" to cover the crime they want to ignore! #usdemocracy
Scott Smith@canaansdad1987.bsky.social · 14h agoI don't think the DOJ writing something that gives the trump family immunity from audits or prosecution is worth the paper it's written on. I don't see how one government agency can speak for another agency in reality and after he is gone, #USDemocracy
Jeezus f**king Christ... In essence that ruling says that any time your side doesn't win an election, just ransack the capitol, and everything will be okay...

The National Guard is planning to stay in DC through January at a cost of $1.4B, and they're moving into new short-term rentals in my neighborhood, Dupont Circle, at a cost of about $4,055 a month per troop. I cannot tell you how much we all HATE having them here. www.axios.com/newsletters/...

Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.
Transnational Organized Crime is attempting to take over our country. Putin & Netanyahu serve as the head spokesmen. Trump & Republicans in Congress are their willing underlings. Together, they're protecting a vast criminal network worth 100's of billions. It's all connected. #Vote #SheShed

Not sure if everyone appreciates the difference. Rooftop solar hardwires into your main panel via a dedicated breaker, so it requires a permit, an installer, an electrician, and a utility agreement. Balcony solar just plugs into a wall outlet, sharing an existing circuit with no permits or rewiring.

The GOP's official party-wide slogan marching into the midterms: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"
You know, thinking about this for a while ... The Six Grandfathers was a beautiful mountain. It has, already, been utterly disgraced by turning it into “Mount Rushmore.” It is a monument to 🇺🇸 betrayal of the tribal nations whom it had made agreements with, and it honours four national disgraces.
The proposition that the president of the United States is an adjudicated rapist isn't an argument. It is a fact.

They need to hammer down relentlessly on this. They can't become overconfident, like they did with Hillary in 2016.

The Secret Handshake moved its 10-foot-tall gold “Iran War Participation Trophy” to Foley Square in Manhattan. The satirical protest piece features a giant #1 and a plaque awarding Trump a participation trophy for his “enthusiastic involvement in the Iran War.”

Atlantic puffins typically live between 20 and 30 years in the wild. They are monogamous and mate for life, returning to the exact same burrows and partners each year. They perform a tender billing ritual by topping and rubbing their beaks together, reinforcing their bond
What's this? 47 threw a fit like the 3 yr old he is. Now there's speculation he was seen by a private physician at Camp David. Because he doesn't like the specialist at Walter Reed. Smdh. We can't survive much more of this folks. #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance
