Capital One revealed in court filings Friday that it closed over 300 bank accounts tied to the Trump Organization in 2021 due to an internal anti-money-laundering review, not for political retaliation as Trump's business claimed. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
Capital One says it closed Trump Organization accounts over money-laundering concerns
The bank is asking a judge to permanently dismiss a lawsuit from Trump-affiliated businesses, arguing a monthslong internal review — not the Jan. 6 riot — explains why hundreds of accounts were shut d...

Today we filed a brief on behalf of the DNC, DSCC, DCCC, DGA, Leader Schumer, and Leader Jeffries in the Supreme Court. We are supporting the stay entered by the lower court against Trump's second anti-voting Executive Order. www.democracydocket.com/cases/trump-...
Rosie O’Donnell on President Trump, "He’s not a self-made man, he got his father’s money, he’s a grifter, he’s a logo-slapper, he’s not in fact a builder, his Apprentice days were all fiction sold as fact and people believed them"
I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
Chanterelle toast over an open fire, evening light, quiet fields, and a true Nordic backyard.
Last night’s sunset felt almost unreal. Dark clouds rolling in while the horizon was glowing.
They could not look guiltier if they tried. If Mitch is dead/incapacitated, These people should be in prison for fraud/racketeering. They’re defrauding the people of Kentucky for their salaries at the VERY least. @govandybeshear.bsky.social #MissingMitchMcconnell
Here are some of the songs I've been listening to this summer. It starts with a song Michelle and I love by Glen Hansard, a great musician who passed tragically this week. Our hearts go out to his family.

The GOP is desperately trying to rewrite history, but just a reminder that Donald Trump was president during the lockdowns, and he awarded Fauci a presidential commendation for his work on COVID. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Earlier today we had a powerful thunderstorm, and once it passed, the sky above my house turned incredibly dramatic. I’m sharing a couple of photos—see for yourself. #thunderstorm #stormclouds #dramaticsky #weather #nature #skyphotography #cloudscape #nordicsky #sweden #weatherphotography
. The Trump Covid Timeline . . . ... there should be a Trump Hearing - not a Fauci Hearing ! 💠 🧐 💠
Of course, here's Trump jumping in to attack Anthony Fauci and lie about his own role during the pandemic. Fuck him, fuck Rand Paul, and fuck all of these lying filth.
Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment during the hearing before the Senate's Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC). As he should have! #Pinks
MORON ... Josh Hawley called Trump dishonest by accident. He posted that “no honest person pleads the Fifth,” and got reminded Trump did it 400-plus times.
The only thing worse than having one of the biggest morons on the planet running your country is having one that thinks he’s actually smarter than everyone else.
Thank you, Andy Cohen for recognizing Dr. Fauci. #Pinks #USDemocracy
Stephen Miller's rhetoric is indistinguishable from 1939 Joseph Goebbels
OUTRAGEOUS! DHS officers in Portland detained an Indigenous activist wearing the MMIW handprint outside the ICE facility. Suppressing peaceful demonstrators exposes the deep disregard for native lives. Indigenous sovereignty and human rights cannot be silenced.
Raw Story: Mary Trump: "Donald has spent his entire life pursuing wealth and personal advantage. That should concern everyone because history has shown when leaders treat public office as a means of personal enrichment, democracy becomes collateral damage." #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed
I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.
Fauci accuses Rand Paul of having an "unhinged obsession with calling for my prosecution" and of making "repeated slanderous comments," then says "although it pains me to do so... under advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the 5th Amendment to refrain from answering your questions."
