President Trump just floated sanctioning Ukraine for fighting back against Russia's aggression. America deserves a leader, not a president who bows to Putin, and every lawmaker should condemn this.

The blowup between Musk and Trump is a perfect excuse to report on the list of 130 benefits Musk got with his access. www.emptywheel.net/2025/06/06/t...

Thousands of words already about Trump-Musk tiff. I've seen no discussion about how taxing Musk would significantly improve the bill. Only memes about what it means that two such emotional creatures wield so much power. Almost no comment abt Trump's promise to abuse his position for revenge.

Trump’s grandfather also tried to go BACK to Germany, because his new wife, who didn’t speak English, hated it here. But he dodged the draft and was persona non grata. So he came back to the U.S., and we took him. And here we are

Really shocked that an admin filled with podcasters, social media influencers, reality TV participants, indicted felons, crypto bros, drunks, Fox hosts, drug addicts, weirdos, and unqualified ass kissing toadies can’t keep their shit together for 24 consecutive hours.

Honestly, on top of the political problem, if there are adults left in the White House -- BIG IF -- Elon's meltdown really does pose very complex NatSec issues.

do it. do it now.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

This, right here. Demuskification of our government is going to be a long, messy process, and that’s if we ever actually undertake it.

Don't forget that Elon has a rogue force of DOGE employees only committed to him, who are embedded within the entire Federal Gov. It will get even worse in terms of hacks and leaks in the coming weeks. Beware of disinformation.

No joke, Trump has to fire all of them now. They're a sabotage risk to the administration.

“.. I work in Toys and we had about 600 price changes in the last couple days... EVERYTHING went up," one user posted last week. “It's f***ing crazy." @the-independent.com $WMT $TGT www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Now even someone on ketamine, mushrooms and Ecstasy can see it.

Elon Musk slams the Republican budget bill and those who voted for it.

I plan to write this up--but given the resistance to ICE in San Diego and Kennett, MO, it would be really great if people focused on the $150B in Trump's Big Awful Bill funding FAR MORE of this heavy-handedness. Effectively the bill takes $$ from poor kids and puts it into more more goon squads.

This, combined with a Reuters report that Iran was about to reject Trump’s previous proposal, indicates that TACO Trump has made an appearance at the Iran nuke talks and he is caving.

In the 1000+ page text of Trump's new budget bill, there's one paragraph that hasn't gotten nearly enough scrutiny. 🧵⤵️ www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

The “government overreach” Republicans who cried that universal background checks on guns would lead to a registry of gun owners, are quiet now that Trump is paying Plantir to build profiles to track every American using their personal, financial, health and social media data.

This is just eye opening. The entire SpaceX direction is a money hole. We have got to stop thinking billionaires are geniuses. www.planetearthandbeyond.co/p/starship-d...

Happy 8th bday, covfefe 🤡

HOLD UP. Are you telling us that the President of the United States is refusing regular briefings about threats to the country so his minions are creating a briefing TV show just for him? WHAT THE HELL? www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Stiil amazed at this moment where Trump trashes Leonard Leo. Leo is the guy who orchestrated the Conservative takeover of the US Supreme Court to defeat Roe v. Wade and to dismantle the regulatory state. He also helped bring us Scott Pruitt at the EPA. Trump turns on almost everyone. Eventually.

The flood of encomiums and morality tales about Elon's turn in Washington cldn't be more predictable, vapid & sickening. If you want a story, get me the story about the crisis comms team directing this. He ran anti-constitutional blitzkrieg thru the federal government, did massive harm, violated ...

DOGE wasn’t trying to cut fraud and waste. Elon was gutting the federal agencies investigating and overseeing his companies. Sorry if you still think Elon spent $291 million to elect Trump to make our government more efficient.

Hindenburg Has Partially Successful Trip To US.

This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY. And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon. And this story barely makes the news today. WTF. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

There’s obviously a lot going on right now, but two people were killed and nine others were injured during a mass shooting in Philadelphia yesterday and it barely even registered as news. In most countries, that would be a massive story. Here in America, it’s just another day.

There it is. Trump confirms what we've said all along - he's been protecting Putin this entire time.

Trump: Cryptolologic

Trump's utter frustration at his inability to effectively bully Harvard - which exemplifies his lifelong resentment, and jealousy, of elites - offers a bit of fun in a dark time.

The executive branch is responsible for issuing student visas to attend Harvard (or any other school), and vetting those students for possible national security concerns is part of that process

Don't be fooled by any of Trump's performative BS. Unless he actually pushes for sanctions, this is the crocodile tears of a narcissistic sociopath. Also, note that he blames Zelensky as much as Putin for the war--those bad Ukrainians, asking to be invaded!

The more people who are denied care and left to die, the more profitable it is for health insurance companies. Your reminder that for-profit healthcare isn't healthcare. It's an exploitation of sick people and transfer of wealth from the working class to the mega-rich.

In other words, he promised repeatedly during the campaign he had a secret plan to end the war in 24 hours and he was just bullshitting everyone because he doesn’t have the first clue what to do, he gave away all negotiating leverage months ago, and his special envoy is a dope.

“Donald Trump has repeatedly said he could settle the war between Russia and Ukraine in one day if he’s elected president again.” apnews.com/article/trum...

Like I said a few times before, it was NEVER about campus protests or anti-semitism. It was always about seizing control of higher education through govt blackmail and coercion.

Meet the Pentagon’s new press secretary

Glad this is finally getting attention from mainstream outlets. I wrote about it over a month ago on my Substack open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

Apocalyptic scenes from Kyiv overnight. Russia sent in 250 strike drones & ballistic missiles. 8 cities attacked & ALL civilian targets - colleges, shops, homes. History shows that weakness only emboldens the aggressor & Trump’s strategy with Putin has been a catastrophe. (📸 Cyrille Amoursky)

“I will end that war in 24 hours. I’ll stop all those lives from being lost. There will be no more bombing of Ukraine and everyone will be happy. It wouldn’t even be tough because I know just what to say to each of them. It may not even take 24 hours.”

Jesus.

Wednesday: Greenland signs minerals deal with EU consortium. Friday: Trump announces 50% Tariff on the EU. See the pattern? His entire presidency is based on revenge.
