Why is it not front page news on every major media outlet that the United States commander in chief had hundreds of his bank accounts frozen for money laundering??????

This is pretty straightforward, and it's weird to me that people are against it.

Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"

Founders: We made the legislature Article I on purpose. The Constitution gives Congress oversight powers and requires the president to faithfully execute laws. And Congress is the only one with power to override or remove officials from other branches. Cornyn: What I presuppose is… maybe it doesn’t

Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"

Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."

I mean, WHOMST among us hasn’t made the same mistake at least once in our lives?

"Get away from me right now," King, a retired U.S. Army captain who served in Iraq and earned both a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star, can be heard telling the three male guard members in the video as they approach her on the bench. "You have absolutely no authority to detain me."

A veteran was detained by the National Guard in her front yard. Now she's suing

Military veteran and D.C. resident Anna King has filed a $3 million lawsuit against the Idaho National Guard, saying three guard members assaulted her while detaining her in front of her home.

I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees. And also the monkeys and tigers and bees. You’re wiping them out. You’re doing great harm. But your weapon ain’t data. Your weapon is farm. I know I’m off message. I’m sorry to nag. But if you want more forests you’ll have to shrink ag.

I would like to propose the Taco Bell Principle When a person/institution Did A Problem, & IMMEDIATELY fesses up & takes proactive steps to solve it That's exactly what we want them to do? So how bout we let them live ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · 3w ago

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

To be very clear, extrajudiciously killing people you suspect are drug traffickers is *also* murder

CNN@cnn.com · 2d ago

The US military’s strikes on alleged drug boats have likely illegally killed “individuals who are not involved in narcotrafficking,” Sen. Tim Kaine told the White House, following “a careful review” of classified information he has seen so far.

Oh for the love of all that is holy...

Reupping: A drug trafficker who turned informant, told the feds Epstein was involved in funding & distributing MDMA/ketamine/ methamphetamines. DEA/DOJ during 1st Trump admin moved to terminate the investigation. In March ‘26, Todd Blanche blocked Senator Wyden from getting the unredacted memo.

Release the Epstein files! NOW!

Every vote to confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general is a vote to continue the coverup of the Epstein Files.

Hey GOP: Sen Wyden found the global child slavery cabal you were so worried about. Now what?

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.gov · yesterday

Bombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:

Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media

It's really hard to convey just how corrupt "The President owns and runs a social media site where he often posts decrees. Companies can pay to get the messages early". That sounds made up but here we are

Denny Carter@dennycarter.bsky.social · 2d ago

heard an interview recently with an anonmyous wall street bro who said his employer would not subscribe to the president's truth social insider trading scheme because they did not want to go to prison when the rule of law returns

So under this Supreme Court's treatment of U.S. law and presidential power, Joe Biden couldn't forgove my student loans, but perhaps Donald Trump can forgive his own tax debt. Wild.

Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 2d ago

FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.

The tricky part for a future Dem Admin is going to be finding a way to divest the US govt from these companies without tanking their stock price & hurting them over the long term. What Trump is doing is a fundamental tenet of communism while he distracts by claiming Dems are.

I think it also revealed just how quickly a bunch of otherwise very hard problems can be to solve with global collective action. The fuckin Ganga was running clear water for the only time in my lifetime because for 2 weeks nobody threw garbage in it. The canals in Venice had fish.

Covid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause. That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.

These assholes are purporting to terminate her DACA status because they are claiming that her illegal deportation by the US government counts as her traveling outside the US and thus violated the conditions of her DACA status.

Yes! And the pandemic response proved a lot of things marginalized community members asked for and were told were impossible were just…fine. Working from home. Attendance policies that accommodate illness. More help for families with kids. Could have had these good things the whole time.

the Mountain Goats@themountaingoats.bsky.social · 3d ago

I agree strongly with this -- in that difficult moment, the possibility of collective effort was conceivable. Not everybody felt it, but many did. I think the political class did not like this one bit.

This is something defense attorneys deal with in a daily basis. Prosecutors charge shit cases all the time and clients get arrested and held in custody. Even a short stay in jail can destroy a person's life, but the system is entirely indifferent to that. Then, six months later, they drop charges.

Matthew Guariglia@mguariglia.bsky.social · 4d ago

I worry that most cynical among us, hopped up on 30 years of law and order rhetoric, will say "this is the system working: he didn't do anything wrong and now he's free." As if the terror and wide-scale publicity of an arrest and federal prosecution is not a horrible punishment in and of itself.
