"The company that owned a private prison in Appleton offered to sell it to MN for $75m Year later, Trump agreed to use taxpayer $ to buy it from CoreCivic for $495.6m The price difference, $420m, is more than was lost in much-publicized Feeding Our Future scandal" www.kare11.com/article/news...
When Trump says “WE” are making a lot of money this is who he means
Mr. Torre has done no small favor for Ohio with the game on the line deep in the fourth quarter. He will always be welcome at my hearth in Columbus should his life go sideways to the point he finds himself in our polluted backwater outpost.
Pablo Torre@pablo.show · 5h agoGood morning. According to the U.S. Tennis Association, there is no record of Vivek Ramaswamy being a “nationally ranked junior tennis player.” And then there’s the ad which connects to the Dept of Homeland Security’s corruption scandal. @rooster.info returns: youtu.be/SzgQWv71a2E?...
Just last month, DoorDash couldn’t seem to find the money to pay their deliveristas — until our administration forced them to give back $131M+ in stolen wages and penalties. This week, they’ve managed to find $17 billion to acquire one of their main competitors.
The Associated Press@apnews.com · yesterdayBREAKING: DoorDash just agreed to buy Instacart for $17 billion. Here's what that means for customers and shoppers.
Yeah “it should be illegal” for a convicted felon and credibly accused child rapist to hold the office of the presidency, but here we are.
This was an article in the New York Times two years ago. He’s done all of it.
we're also sorry about J Jordan and Ramaswamy too. In fact, all the R's in Ohio are embarrassing
David Seibert@daveseibert.bsky.social · 3d agoThe right-minded people of Ohio want to once again apologize to the nation (and the world) for giving you JD Vance. We are all so very embarrassed.
I keep seeing posts from Republicans pretending to be insulted by Barack Obama's Cheesecake Factory quip because most Americans supposedly think it serves haute cuisine. First, it does not. And you know that. Second, his remark wasn't about the food. It was about the over-the-top golden decor.
Texans keep reporting touchscreens that flip a Democratic pick to Paxton, and officials keep saying it's user error. Maybe so, but Paxton built a career screaming about election integrity, so let him demand the audit. Voters, check that paper printout before you cast it.
TRUMP: We gave nothing in exchange for Stephen. We never give anything in exchange for hostages. TRUMP LITERALLY MOMENTS LATER: If I implemented sanctions on Russia, Steven wouldn't be coming out right now.
He lifted sanctions on Ruzzia, allowing the monster Putin to kill more and more Ukrainians this week alone including children, to free a 74 year old retired teacher who was more than half way through his 7 year sentence? One country in exchange for a man. Clearly I don't comprehend diplomacy.
The corruption is just staggering. Dozens of dozens of pardons being given out to wealthy criminals paying millions for them. The US government is for sale to the highest bidders & DOJ operates as Trump’s consigliere. Have you had enough of this yet America? I know the world has.
Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision. More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?
Per Bloomberg, since 2025 began, initial US jobs reports have been revised down in 16 of 20 months, erasing 793,000 jobs. That’s nearly 40,000 jobs a month that were reported, then quietly erased. They just vanished like the donations for the Kennedy Center. unusualwhales.com/news/us-jobs...,

The Russian invasion was not about Donetsk. The Russian war is not about Donetsk now. All you have to do is listen to any Putin interview about the war. It is about the subjugation of all of Ukraine under a Russian-aligned puppet government.
