WATCH — Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social on Trump’s insider trading: “If you pay Trump $100,000 a month, he will give you early access to White House announcements on economic and trade policy. None of this is normal, and a lot of this is illegal.”

He started by committing housing discrimination. Cheated dozens of contractors. There were the charities and Trump University people he defrauded. He assaulted E Jean Carroll. 34 financial crimes. Even now he’s running a crypto scam He’s always been a criminal and con artist MAGA chose him anyway

Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."

Story of many many Americans lives.. the medical stuff shouldn’t be political But somehow that has become Toxic too????

I can't diagnose (I'm not a psychotherapist or MD) but if he's not multiple-personality disorder he's probably just a lying weasel. No offense to weasels, they eat small pests Maybe he just likes to play dress-up. Hindu wedding, now claims to be R Catholic. Never took the required catechism class

There he is, the racist hillbilly who wasn’t a hillbilly but has always been an opportunistic fraud.

In 1993, Mitch McConnell voted NO on the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Now, he’s been hospitalized since June 14, out of work for 5 weeks, and collected $17,000 in full pay without even applying for #FMLA. Would your job let you do that? He didn't protect your job. Why protect his? #Blues

The Internet never forgets.

Hearings like this are a reminder that if you work for Donald Trump, you are a person of low character and have no integrity. There are no exceptions.

😮 Trump's nominees are the most pathetic men in the world 😮 During a hearing, Blumenthal made Trump nominees squirm by asking them who won the 2020 election -- a question they refuse to answer -- but then Schiff upped the ante by asking them *who won the 2016 election.* Here's a supercut:

Yep. Earlier this year I was interviewed by Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media is aiding the Trump administration’s Epstein cover up.

Banks permitted millions in suspicious transactions tied to Epstein—and former 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi had the story months ago. But the report would never air. trib.al/ZShZlIS

Lawmakers call for Pentagon probe of Trump family-backed companies

The letter to the Pentagon’s inspector general was prompted by reporting from The Post that startups affiliated with the president’s sons have won $3.2 billion in defense contracts.

This was a great ad. #Michigan @abdulelsayed.bsky.social (H/T @underthedesknews.bsky.social )

They cut Medicaid in the Big Ugly Bill. They cut Medicare by $536 billion. Now seniors will have to pay more for prescription coverage. #RepublicanMedicareCuts will hurt so many seniors who voted for Trump, thinking that he would keep his promise and lower costs & not touch Medicare.

Where’s Mitch?

The Other 98% It started at Fancy Farm... Beshear skipped this year's for his son's baseball tournament. The Republicans on stage treated the empty chair like an invitation. Rand Paul told the crowd the governor had been "neutered at every turn by the Republican legislature."

Beshear watched his kid play baseball instead of going to fancy farm picnic and Paul and Barr pitched a bitch,and Beshear fired back where's McConnell? "Kentucky Republicans Unwittingly Throw McConnell Under the Bus" on SmartNews: l.smartnews.com/p-8e4HKBNu/E...

Kentucky Republicans Unwittingly Throw McConnell Under the Bus (The Daily Beast)

Kentucky Republicans' attempts to throw shade at their Democratic governor backfired when he used their attacks to call attention to Sen. Mitch McConnell's p...

So Tom Kean, Jr. missed 4 months of work and received compensation with zero consequence. Mitch McConnell has missed approximately 7 weeks also being compensated with zero consequence. These are the same people who vote against Americans receiving the same treatment. VOTE BLUE. Medicare 4 all.

Mitch McConnell has been out sick for over a month & a half. I have friend who got fired bc they missed 4 days w/ the flu. Another friend who got fired after missing 10 days after a serious car crash (multiple broken bones). Every American deserves the sick leave McConnell has.

Just saying ... #PoorChoices4President

Surprise, surprise: Mitch McConnell's staff are still staying silent on his health as they continue to earn their six-figure salaries.

During the height of the pandemic, McConnell blocked various federal paid sick and family leave extensions in congressional stimulus packages — and then laughed about it.

The Contrarian@contrariannews.org · 3h ago

McConnell’s FMLA vote to derail even unpaid leave was hardly a career one-off.

We might permit 10 days, to show proof of life. Americans must provide a doctor's note, to miss one day of work. So, 10 days is more than fair. In reality, they should work within the laws they provide for us. If they cannot provide a doctor's name and a soundbite, then, they MUST lose the seat.

The problem is, even if there is a process, it relies on people being transparent and the senate enforcing the rules. And that is clearly not going to happen in this regime.

El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"
