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.
This is a story about the President and several of his hand-picked appointees all committing crimes and blatantly lying to the public while stealing public funds and abusing the criminal justice system, but the NYTimes describes the situation like they're recapping a soap opera.
Larry Glickman@larryglickman.bsky.social · 4d agoAnother example of the problem with the fixation with Trump’s putative emotions: here a story about the Trump administration’s corruption, incompetence, and venality is framed as one about Trump’s “wrath.” www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/u...
I feel like everyone understands and is aware of the corrosive effects of gambling, and yet we are just awash in wall-to-wall gambling ads.
Reiterating that Musk's literal voter bribery last time was an unambiguous go-directly-to-jail felony, for which people have been successfully prosecuted over vastly smaller amounts. It wasn't just pouring money into a PAC, whatever one thinks of that. It was a black-letter plain-as-day crime.
Yes, Elon Musk’s Vote-Buying Is Against the Law
People have gone to prison for comparable schemes.

Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · 6d agoMusk got away with his $1 million vote-buying scheme in 2024. Why wouldn't he try something similar this November?
Just a head’s up to everyone who hasn’t reassessed their relationship with Shopify yet: its CEO is actively pushing far-right politics in Canada, now with Elon Musk’s explicit support!

This is insane. Stimulants are the first-line drugs for ADHD because they are the drugs that have been shown to work the best for ADHD.
Miles Klee 🦉@milesklee.bsky.social · last wk.Across social media, through paid influencer partnerships, wellness brands are pushing nootropic supplements for ADHD by claiming that stimulant medications like Adderall and Vyvanse cause a host of negative side effects. Specialists say it’s an exploitative, potentially dangerous pitch:
I seen a bunch of videos recently where someone is recording an interaction with police where they keep mentioning their "meta glasses" by name. I think it's part of a stealth marketing campaign to associate them with social justice movements.
Hypervisible @hypervisible.blacksky.app · last wk.FWIW, Meta was fully aware of how these glasses would primarily be used. The glasses were designed to erase consent, and that is why they exist. Anything that they do that suggests they want to ameliorate this use is an attempt to win the PR battle and manipulate public opinion.
Ever have that dream where a geriatric pedophile just stares at you through the fog?

There are lots of Horses, but only one Horace.
InfoWars@realinfowars.bsky.social · 2w agoWhat if someone told you there's MORE than one horse? Have you ever considered that?
Best thing about this decision is the “no jets TO” crowd will stop wedging this into every conversation and online space.
Avi Lewis@avilewis.ca · 2w agoToday’s decision is the result of a massive effort from the Ontario NDP, organizers on the ground, and the people of Toronto who said: No Jets TO. It was collective power that made this issue impossible for the Carney government to ignore. When we organize, we win! shorturl.at/SDIBf

This story is crazy. It would appear Trump admin officials rigged their nationally televised high school civics contest to keep a young man from a Sikh family out of the finalists. www.notus.org/national/ame...
Suspicion and Doubt at the National Civics Contest
America’s finest young scholars competed to mark their country's birthday. It led to a disputed finish in the age of mistrust.

This neatly explains why Ontario Premier Doug Ford can be such a cheerleader for cops while also undermining public safety by eliminating speed cameras. It’s this 👇🏼
mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social · 2w agocops hate automated enforcement *because* its fair. They conceptualize their role not as punishing rulebreakers but punishing "bad people" (poors and minorities). They dislike red light/speed cameras because they wind up punishing "good people" for doing something they see as essentially harmless
I'm not posting Odyssey memes because one must be wary of GIFs bearing Greeks.
Thread. Rapists running a coercive sex ring AND transmitting CSAM AND inducing other men to abuse women and girls in turn. The alleged behavior is legitimately monstrous and it’s a HUGE deal that the Trump regime is undermining law enforcement to help/free them. Epstein in real time
Professa Murray@kalimurray.bsky.social · 3w agoThe fact that VP JD Vance and Richard Grenell went to Romania—on behalf of the Trump Administration— to advocate for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who by all accounts, were rapists running a coercive sex ring, then permitted them to come to Florida, should be a crazy, crazy scandal.
The most important aspect of the deal to open the bridge -- and what's conspicuously absent from this story -- isn't the terms of the agreement. It's that the US government interfered in a done deal to extort further concessions. So, no. This is not a "good deal" for Canada. It's a portent.
Splitting Gordie Howe bridge profits with U.S. ‘good deal’ for both countries, minister says
Business groups say the economic value of the new crossing outweighs Canada’s concession on toll profits

This is the sharp point right here. Any Democrat like Senator Schiff who can’t or won’t understand this is a Trump ally.
Pwnallthethings@pwnallthethings.bsky.social · 4w agongl kind of disturbing to see them lobby Canadians to stop the response to tariffs rather than lobby DC to stop the tariffs
What I’m taking away from this is that the boycott is working.
Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.gov · 4w agoCanada's boycott of California wine is causing devastating harm to winegrowers. I'm urging the Canadian government to recognize that California doesn’t agree with these tariff wars, to lift these restrictions, and increase consumer options to strengthen both our economies.
