You don’t play nice with fascists. You ruthlessly undermine them before they do that to you.

This is so true.

BREAKING: The judge in the $1.7B slush fund suit has dismissed the case, but she says THERE IS NO SETTLEMENT OF RECORD. As I said earlier, the media must stop reporting that this slush fund is a settlement. It's just plain THEFT. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Most people will only see the spin around Trump’s $1.8b settlement fund. But once you walk through the timeline, the level of corruption becomes impossible to dismiss. Read this one all the way through. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

No money for pediatric cancer research but there's $1.7 billion for people who beat cops and smeared feces on the walls of the US Capitol.

“Nearly 50,000 Lake Tahoe residents are being told to find a new power provider because the grid is being re-routed to A.I. data centers.”

We've normalized working people living out of their cars because we can't normalize taxing billionaires.

That's a selfish thing to do, Delta, because it will help your business. But please stop shipping small children to concentration camps. And change "Gulf of America" on your flight maps back to "Gulf of Mexico." That kind of pandering to a fascist lying lunatic is just obscene.

Delta is officially suspending travel perks for members of Congress until Republicans stop blocking TSA funding.

Absolute bombshell. Former Governor Jesse Ventura just alleged on live TV that Donald Trump only got into the WWE Hall of Fame because he used his power to stop a federal sexual investigation into Vince McMahon. The corruption is staggering.

"The unidentified air traffic controller was in charge of both air and ground traffic. While that's not necessarily out of the ordinary — especially late night — it should be. It meant he was in charge of telling planes in the air, on the ground, and vehicles on the ground where they needed to go."

I cannot imagine trying to deal with all of this, I'll tell you what.

Exactly 5 minutes BEFORE Trump announced a 5-day delay in bombing Iranian power plants, someone purchased $1.5 billion worth of S&P futures in a single trade. Someone also sold $192 million in oil futures. Trump and/or his cronies are engaging in market manipulation and insider trading.

This is a pretty incredible list of things Trump has done since No Kings II.

This may be the most powerful 85 seconds I've ever seen on television.

Fun fact: The privatization of TSA is in Project 2025.

It’s as if they want it to be broken. Just like the usps. They want to dismantle these systems and turn them over to private for profit companies. They keep making them worse so people will go along with their plan.

7 years ago, we learned about Bob Mueller’s conclusions. Today, there are a lot of posts on social media claiming it was a farce, or worse, a fraud. But those posts are disinformation. Here is the actual information, with links for those who want to do a deep dive. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

What Was Actually in the Mueller Report

There is an enormous amount of misinformation circulating about former Special Counsel Bob Mueller’s investigation into Russian attempts to influence the 2016 U.S.

And remember, Paul Manafort reneged on his plea agreement and clammed up, Konstantin Kilimnik is still missing, and Trump repeatedly obstructed justice. So we still don’t know the full extent of their crimes.

A French general said joining Donald Trump’s war is like buying a discounted ticket for the Titanic after it hit the iceberg. Trump has had a chastening week, as the UK, France, Japan, Germany, South Korea, and even China rejected military support. www.thedailybeast.com//french-gene...

Why the longest-ever State of the Union address was the most inconsequential

I don't think someone would resign over a hoax.

He destroyed our economy and everyone knows it. Whatever he or his voters would like to believe about what he did, the numbers do not lie. We are seeing the worst job growth in over two decades and it is explicitly tied to bad decisions he made and then lied about. He's pathetic.

Colbert usually gets around 2 million viewers but because Trump's FCC banned Talarico's interview the segment has been viewed online over 10.5 million times. Nice work, dipshits

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ
