The Trump family’s cryptocurrency business just got a $2B investment from a firm backed by the United Arab Emirates government. With this deal, they will be enriched beyond most people’s comprehension—and they have the UAE government to thank for it.

Will Bunch: A POTUS who said he could shoot someone on 5th Ave. is doing something nearly as bad with his massive crypto grift - selling access to his WH as he and his kids pocket hundreds of millions of dollars. Why can't we stop a bigger scandal than Watergate? www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

MAGA created a website called PublicSquare, “the anti-woke online marketplace,” to promote businesses that support Donald Trump. It's now being used by liberals to know which local and online companies to boycott. 🍿

Imagine if Joe Biden, newly in office, had launched a company with Hunter Biden and used his social media to recruit financial backers. Then promised the most generous among them would earn an invitation to a private dinner with him ... Trump just did that.

Helpful perspective from Jamie Kirchick. This op-ed captures one grave danger of Trump’s war-worsening scheme (it’s not a peace plan in any sense). Sadly, there are several more. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/25/o...

"That morning, when Navarro was... in a different part of the White House, Bessent and Lutnick made their move... They rushed to the Oval Office to.. propose a pause... They stayed until Trump tapped out a Truth Social post." The way this White House operates is just bizarre.

Under the Reichsbeamtengesetz of 1933, the NSDAP aimed to achieve an immediate consolidation of government and party offices, effectively unifying the party and government bureaucracies. This is the gold standard of fascist totalitarianism.

Alvin Toffler anticipated much of the technological advances that dominate society today. He believed that the dispersion of sources of information would cause us to retreat into self-reinforcing tribes. He believed, however, that what we now call the Internet would be hostile to totalitarianism. 1/

In the years before Hitler and Mussolini took power, they dismantled the pillars of support for opposition political parties before outlawing those parties altogether. ActBlue is possibly the most important fundraising organization for the Democratic Party.

It seem insane for a US Senator to say we've all been subjected to "a relentless bombardment of Marxist propaganda." But what he means by this is 1) there was a Burger King ad with an interracial couple and 2) Star Wars Episodes VII-IX had a female lead.

Trump's political movement is called "populist," but that's farcical. The two South African ideologues behind it--Peter Thiel and Elon Musk--embrace a highly elitist and anti-democratic version of fascism. Look at this Peter Theel interview.

Trump can call me names but the truth remains. He is an unhinged wanna be dictator who is angry that I beat him in court and won't cower in fear. Now he is weaponizing the federal government against his political opponents. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.
