💯. They know their time is limited and are laying the last tracks for their gravy train grift, including hiding the money in multiple international "banks". I hope they're invesigated fully for their grift and corruption

🚨 Zelenskyy says Ukraine’s Starshield systems are once again being restricted, allowing deadly Russian strikes to get through. The news comes as Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are in Moscow.
It’s happening again. Hegseth says it is Musk, Musk says it is Hegseth. Where the hell is Congress?
Trump and Hegseth don’t give a shit about the troops. They left them in exposed and vulnerable areas at the outset of the Iran war, keep them deployed for excessive amounts of time, and impose political and religious indoctrination. bsky.app/profile/meid...

GOP Sen. Kevin Cramer: "By the way, Jensen Huang himself has been a pretty bold, some might even say arrogant promoter, sort of dismissing our concerns about China having access to these these most advanced chips. And I do not take that lightly ... I would be happy to support a subpoena"
The GOP's agenda after the worst midterm election defeat in decades amounts to: 1) Block Democratic accountability investigations at any cost. 2) Full deployment of federal power against Democratic electorates. 3) Build Trump's monuments to himself.
If you listen closely to what Trump is saying here, it's clear he was made aware of the Jensen Huang scandal months ago and when he says "it didn't make much of an impact on me," that's his way of explaining that he didn't give an F.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d agoQ: When exactly were you made aware of the intelligence around Jensen Huang? TRUMP: Oh, I'd have to check Q: But there are reports that Rubio put out an intelligence memo last year. Did you read it? TRUMP: It could have been mentioned. Certainly it didn't make much of an impact on me.
They put off a lot of drastic things — eg Medicaid cuts — until after the elections. Another example, from what I can tell, is large deportation actions of Haitians from Springfield, Ohio. The signs are that something big will begin on or just after Nov 17th. Appealing to reporters to have a look.
From @JVLast: "new Congress should not negotiate with the White House. Dems should pass bills filled with popular stuff, force Republicans to vote against them, and dare Trump to veto them." @RepJeffries @SenSchumer @VanHollenForMD @AyannaPressley #MedicareForAll www.thebulwark.com/p/destroy-al...
The Trump administration has laid off around 28,000 Department of Veterans Affairs employees, nearly half of which were veterans employed by the agency.
When I say these are concentration camps, it's not to be dramatic or to paralyze you with fear, but to give you an idea of the challenge we're up against—particularly given the astronomical resources DHS has to expand detention. They're working to entrench the system; we have to uproot it entirely.
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · yesterdayThe @nytimes.com gets new details on ICE's October 13 policy to electronically "disappear" tens of thousand of detained immigrants, including orders to contractors to refuse to reveal where immigrants are held to family or lawyers. 30% of all immigrants in ICE jails now have their location hidden.
If you are an administration official DESTROYING protected documents to cover for Donald Trump, you should lawyer up.
CNN@cnn.com · 2d agoHouse Democrats are demanding that the Interior department retain documents related to Trump's construction projects around Washington after whistleblowers warned that key paperwork has already been destroyed before Democrats take power, congressional sources tell CNN. https://cnn.it/4k7pJX9
This is a neutral, objective headline. The American cowardliness in naming things by their names draws us away not toward the simple truths around us.

Low T Pete has made a mockery of the Dept of Defense. Congress is complicit by not impeaching him. Military members, especially high ranking members, may be complicit by not reporting any concerns to the IG or to Congress through the whistle blower system.
Matthew Gertz@mattgertz.bsky.social · 3d agoIt was not a good idea to put a weekend Fox News morning host in charge of the U.S. military.
The Trump crime family continues to grift, robbing the government (US taxpayers) of hundreds of millions or billions and Congress and the judiciary are complicit through silence and inaction. Main stream media is complicit by not reporting on it. 🤬🤬

In the past 43 hours, Cindy Hyde-Smith has added a net 10 votes to her total while Scott Colom has picked up a net 651. It's very clear where this election is headed.
Accountability & affordability are one and the same. Democrats will hold the corrupt crooks accountable for jacking up prices and ripping off the American People.
