"Gift Article" "Using the Chips and Science Act as justification, the administration will invest $874 million in technology companies focusing on semiconductor research and development. In return, the government will receive minority equity stakes." 🤬This is state owned COMMUNISM! wapo.st/4yWa2Xy

Opinion | The hidden cost of the government’s corporate buying spree

With $4 billion spent on equity stakes since December, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is increasingly entangling the U.S. government in the private sector.

"Gift Article" "... while Biden’s pardon protects Fauci from federal criminal investigations into his time involved in the nation’s coronavirus response, it did not rule out state prosecution. Florida’s attorney general last week announced a new investigation into Fauci." 🤬 wapo.st/4gcu47V

The intense pressure facing Fauci, as GOP lawmakers push for his jailing

This is such complete and utter bullshit on the part of Thom Tillis and John Cornyn. Giving the Trump crime family immunity from tax audits remains as corrupt as anything we’ve ever seen in this country. Todd Blanche should be impeached, not confirmed.

JUST IN: Tillis confirms he is on board with Cornyn to vote yes on Blanche for AG, after Blanche renounces Anti-Weaponization Fund in writing & asserts that the waiver of any past taxes due is limited to POTUS, Don Jr., Eric & Trump Org. Earlier: www.politico.com/news/2026/08...

If you want members of this regime to be held legally accountable, you have to add four seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. Otherwise, they'll protect their fellow oligarchs like they did in 2023. 1. Win the senate 2. Block nominees 3. Elect a dem POTUS 4. Congress adds 4 seats 5. Have nice things

MAGA is raging at DHS Sec Markwayne Mullin for discussing immigration reform. But the real reason MAGA is so furious is he admitted immigration can be managed in a way that benefits our country. This is absolutely lethal to white nationalist ideology. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2138...

MAGA Erupts at Trump DHS Chief—and Accidentally Exposes Big MAGA Scam

Markwayne Mullin just said the unsayable: That immigration can sometimes help the economy and the country. Now MAGA wants his head.
