Somewhere in America, there's a journalist who knows the full story about the altercation in the White House that gave Elon Musk his black eye ... ... but they're saving that story for a book to be published in 2029 for a hefty advance. đź’°

Buyer With Ties to Chinese Communist Party Got V.I.P. Treatment at Trump Crypto Dinner www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/u...

“Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.”

I called for the full release of the Epstein Files a month ago because of my suspicion that AG Pam Bondi was concealing the files to protect Donald Trump. Now my suspicion has been confirmed. Release the #EpsteinFiles now!

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.

Please please please play this video for all your MAGA friends and family. Especially the seniors or soon-to-be seniors.

This may make me a buzzkill but I preferred a government where policy wasn't being made by two junkies screaming at each other on social media.

Clearly it isn’t women who are too emotional to be President. I’ll never regret voting for Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris, I remain proud AF.

It would be awful if Donald Trump got so mad that he started looking for ways to tax Elon Musk's obscene wealth, wouldn't it?

Maybe the deep-state USDA inspections can be eliminated, and meat-eating Americans can "do their own research" about E. coli in their hamburgers. 🍔

Without Elon's meddling, we could have had no-drama Kamala and not-weird Tim.

All the worst people were fighting last night.

🏆 I love LA.

We have an official ruling

A few Democrats are urging the party to make amends with Elon Musk and using a bad take on history to make their case. New post at CAMPAIGN TRAILS on how wrong they are: campaign-trails.ghost.io/welcoming-th...

What's the world coming to when two thin-skinned billionaire megalomaniacal narcissists can't continue to get along and play nicely?

"That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy." - Robert Reich #TaxBillionaires

AOC: “The girls are fighting, aren’t they?”

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.

Why do the stupidest people making the dumbest statements always have the smuggest smirks on their faces?

Genuine question: has there ever been a figure like Stephen Miller in US history? Ie: a Presidential aide with this much (apparent) power in the WH? I have read credible stories about him controlling policy at DOJ, DOD, and of course DHS. He’s like a Grand Vizier.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

"They're breaking the law." "What law?" "You know, vibes and shit."

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers. Instead, wealth and power has accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us. Trickle-down economics was always a hoax.

Fox News left out the 10 million people who lose their health insurance and the $2 trillion tacked onto the deficit… and the part where all of this is to pay for rich people and big corporations’ tax cuts

President Trump has granted clemency to 16 corrupt politicians—so far. It’s all part of a sweeping effort to decriminalize political corruption. Here's what you should know... 🧵

Shouldn't the negotiating position of every nation facing Trump's extortion threats be to wait as U.S. courts continue to rule against the legality of his tariffs? "The White House Wants 90 Trade Deals in 90 Days. So Far, It May Have 1." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Let’s be clear about 2 things: 1) Elon doesn’t care about the debt. If he did he’d advocate for the rich paying more taxes, not less. 2) Watching him turn on Trump is highly enjoyable.

The Army, Navy and Marines are all celebrating their 250th anniversary this year and yet only the Army, whose date remarkably happens to fall on Trump's birthday, is planning a multimillion dollar parade (for the first time ever). What a remarkable coincidence. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

It was never about deporting violent criminals. If that were true, where are the examples? Trump would be shouting the victims’ names from the rooftops. What we’re actually seeing are heartbreaking videos of families torn apart by masked men who look more like white supremacists than ICE agents.

I’m sure he’s already returned the $38+ billion he’s getting from tax payers this year…

Proud dad moment. Congratulations, Gus!

So, did Trump delete his tweet about his phone call with Putin because he realized it made him sound like Putin's spokesperson? Or because he realized he was exposing secrets meant to stay within the Russo-American alliance? www.nytimes.com/2025/06/04/u...
