🧵1/2 Trump shouted that his “REAL POLL NUMBERS” are his highest ever as polls put him at record lows. This is not spin. It is a frightened presidency trying to bully arithmetic into confession. #PollPanic #TrumpMeltdown
Deluded Trump, 80, Self-Soothes With Fantasy in All-Caps Meltdown
The president posted about “REAL POLL NUMBERS” as his approval hits a new low.

🧵1/2 Trump held the largest housing-affordability bill in decades hostage to his SAVE Act. Families need homes; he wants fewer voters. That is not governing. It is extortion with a presidential seal. #HousingHostage #SAVEActScam
Trump Cancels Signing of Biggest Housing Affordability Bill in Decades
He wants Congress to pass a voter suppression bill instead.

Authoritarianism does not need to murder truth in the street. It can lock truth in a filing cabinet, release only the parts that flatter power, and call the rest “classified” until the cover-up starts bleeding through the walls.
🧵1/2 Women now outnumber men in college, grad school, and the professions’ training grounds. The future workforce is already being rewritten on campus; the question is whether employers will keep pretending pay equity is still a mystery. #HigherEd #PayEquity
Women rule (in college and graduate and professional schools)
As fewer men choose college, women are moving into top professions

🧵1/3 Trump torched Obama’s Iran deal, escalated into war, then sent Vance to Switzerland to celebrate Iran accepting IAEA inspections—the safeguard Trump destroyed. This is not diplomacy. It is arson with a press conference. #ObamaDealBoomerang #TrumpIranFail
Vance says Iran agrees to nuclear inspections, as under Obama deal
Conversations with inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency could occur as soon as Monday, the vice president said, as negotiations continue in Switzerland.

Trump’s $14.7M no-bid vanity job turned the Reflecting Pool into green sludge, then his regime threatened “years in jail” for people touching loose paint. He didn’t drain the swamp. He painted it blue, poisoned the water, and prosecuted the witnesses. #SlimeGate #TrumpCollapse
Trump Goons Try Soviet-Style Round-Up at Slime Crisis Site
The president still isn’t ready to accept responsibility for his botched renovation.

He would drag the bankers, exchange officials, insiders, and regulators into daylight, expose the scheme as financial aristocracy masquerading as innovation, then rewrite the rules so public markets serve investors instead of manufacturing suckers for billionaires. #RiggedMarkets

🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: Donald Trump is a radical international / domestic terrorist and a war criminal who's Death Squad has murdered our brave troops and innocent citizens! ❤️ IF YOU WANT HIM IMPEACHED, CONVICTED AND ARRESTED
If this asset of Russian intelligence wasn’t playing president, & was in reality an American President, we wouldn’t be in Iran now/gas would be affordable/there’d be no concentration camps on American soil/Renee Good & Alex Pretti wouldn’t have been killed by psychopaths posing as ICE agents, etc!
🧵1/3 Trump, self-proclaimed dealmaker, tore up a deal that constrained Iran’s enrichment, imposed international inspections, and cost ZERO American lives—because he said it gave Tehran too much. Then he launched a war, got Americans killed, drove up oil and food costs, rattled retirement accounts...

Let Elon and the MAGA faithful build Mars in their own image: no regulations, no woke oxygen, no public healthcare, no unions, no experts, no fact-checkers—just vibes, hierarchy, subscription-based air, and one sacred commandment: No free lunch, dammit! #MagaMars
🧵1/2 Epstein was supposed to be Trump’s conspiracy weapon. Instead, it became a live grenade inside his own White House. Vance reportedly saw a “huge problem,” aides ran Situation Room damage control, and the cover story started eating the cult that built it. #EpsteinFiles #VanceUnderOath
Democrats to call on Vance to testify to House committee over Epstein files
Plan comes after major New York Times report alleges files became source of crisis within Trump administration
theguardian.com
🧵1/2 Trump finally taught Senate Republicans the lesson they deserved: slavish loyalty ends with your own throat under the wheel. Cornyn lost to a Trump-backed scandal magnet, and now even he says the ride is about to get brutal. The cult is eating its accountants. #MAGACollapse #GOPCivilWar
After Senate Loss, Cornyn Predicts ‘Miserable’ Final Two Years for Trump

This wasn’t transparency. It was theater staged to fail. Ask courts for material judges almost never release, predict the denial, then blame the judiciary for the cover-up you engineered. That’s not a #TrumpEpsteinFiles release strategy. That’s a laundering operation for political cowardice.
Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · 2mo agoWelp. New reporting from the Times shows I was right. Blanche asking the courts to release the Epstein files was a ruse. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/10/m...
🧵1/2 Trump’s DOJ didn’t just design a $1.8B loyalty trough; one of the officials defending it reportedly eyed the bucket himself. This is what corruption looks like after shame dies: public money, private grievance, and a checkout lane for regime insiders. #SlushFundState
Top DOJ Goon’s Plot to Demand Trump Slush Fund Cash Is Leaked
The official felt he was eligible for compensation after having his phone records covertly subpoenaed.

🚨 🧵1/2 Trump didn’t just dodge accountability; he reportedly bargained with the government he controls to fence off his own past taxes. The slush fund was **the decoy**. The audit shield is the heist. America gets receipts. The Trump crime syndicate gets immunity. #TaxScamTrump #IRSImmunity
Trump’s slush fund is gone – but his IRS agreement is a new level of self-dealing | Mohamad Bazzi
The president’s immunity from continuing audits made fewer headlines than the ‘anti-weaponization fund’, but it’s no less egregious
theguardian.com
Trump just bragged that Iran didn’t know about a “secret” oil operation he had already posted online. Imagine being so reckless you leak your own talking point, so vain you brag anyway, and so bought by oil interests you call higher pump prices patriotism. #Trumpflation
Um, What? Trump Says He Loves Inflation
Donald Trump insisted that surging inflation, caused by his tariffs and war in Iran, is a great thing.
newrepublic.com
Authoritarians don’t just reward loyalty. They reimburse it. When political violence gets laundered into “victimhood,” the slush fund is no longer corruption at the edges—it is corruption with a reimbursement form. History keeps warning us. We keep pretending it’s subtle. #NoKings
🧵1/2 Trump’s FBI is knocking on doors over 2020 claims courts, audits, and reviews already rejected. This is not investigation. It is rehearsal: federal muscle-testing for 2026, built to intimidate election workers and pre-poison defeat. #ElectionCoupRehearsal
The Trump administration is investigating the 2020 election. It may be laying the groundwork for 2026.
Claims of mass voter fraud have been debunked again and again, but the Trump administration is still relitigating the 2020 election.

🧵1/2 Will Washington DC be renamed #Trumpistan or #Griftopolis? Trump’s DOJ told a judge no one could stop him from tearing down the Statue of Liberty. Read that again. Not a king, not an emperor—just a decaying strongman asking lawyers to bless the wrecking ball before he brands the ruins.
Trump forges ahead with D.C. cityscape transformation against growing resistance
Trump has responded to growing legal and political obstacles to his ballroom, arch and other projects by attempting to force approvals through faster than opponents can challenge them.

Trump’s Pentagon hired a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter into a sensitive office tied to terrorism plots and elite missions. He entered the Capitol through a broken window with a metal pole. This is not vetting. It is insurrection laundering at the Pentagon. A national-security rot!!! #InsurrectionLaundering
Jan. 6 Rioter Is Hired to Work in Sensitive Pentagon Office
nytimes.com
🧵1/2 Trump pardoned 1,500+ Jan. 6 defendants. Now at least NINETY-SEVEN (97) have faced other charges: fraud, grand larceny, domestic violence, sex crimes/CSAM, even assassination plots. “Law and order” was just a getaway car for MAGA criminals. #PardonPipeline
Nearly 100 Pardoned MAGA Insurrectionists Have Found New Ways To Stay Busy
Among other things, the pardoned rioters have faced charges related to grand larceny, fraud, child sexual abuse, and plots to assassinate law enforcement officials and politicians.

Trump wants a UFC cage fight on the White House South Lawn for his 80th birthday, wrapped in America’s 250th. An octagon, giant screens, 85,000 tickets: not patriotism, but a republic strip-mined into one man’s ego circus, with the White House reduced to a cheap, gaudy TV prop!!! #TrumpBirthdayFight

Trump won’t rule out taxpayer-funded payouts for Jan. 6 defendants after 140+ officers were injured and one died the next day defending the Capitol. “Back the Blue” became “pay the mob” the instant the mob wore red hats, served Trump, and turned police blood into a reimbursement claim. #Jan6Payoffs
Trump refuses to rule out using ‘anti-weaponization’ fund for Capitol rioters who attacked police
US president says ‘I’d pay the kind of money they deserve’ amid questions over his administration establishing fund

🧵1/2 Senate Republicans just protected a proposed $1.776B Trump payout fund for allies claiming persecution. Trump calls it “very important.” Translation: your tax dollars, his loyalists, their revenge fantasy. This is corruption with a congressional escort. #TrumpSlushFund
Senate rejects first effort to bar Trump from creating $1.8B settlement fund
Senate Republicans have cleared a first hurdle as they try to pass legislation to fund President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement agencies.

Tennessee Republicans stripped every House Democrat—and every Black member—from committee assignments after gerrymandering the state’s only majority-Black congressional district out of existence. Jim Crow didn’t die. It learned procedure.
