“The $400 million private jet that the government of Qatar gifted to Donald Trump is the Michael Jordan’s house of private planes,” says Chris Hayes. “It turns out, no one wanted to buy Qatar’s hand-me-downs… it looks like Qatar finally found a sucker to pawn it off to.”

If you want to see what happens when someone sells off their last fucking shred of dignity for a lifetime VIP pass to the Trump Grift-a-Palooza, look no further than Pam Bondi—a woman who makes Rudy Giuliani look like a Trappist monk after a vow of silence. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Trump's family has deals to build luxury resorts and hotels in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Oman. And their crypto firm will be used by the UAE to make a $2B deal — netting the Trumps hundreds of millions of dollars. His "diplomatic trips" are blatant self-enrichment opportunities.

Rand Paul condemns Trump accepting a gifted luxury jet from Qatar

This is absolutely brutal

"The Partnership for Public Service, which studies the federal workforce, has used budget figures to produce a rough estimate that Trump's firings, re-hirings, lost productivity and paid leave of thousands of workers will cost upward of $135 billion this fiscal year." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/u...

It’s incredible that now the *best case* scenario is basically Trump engaging in a humiliating climb-down, but having already inflicted permanent damage and uncertainty that never be undone.

The Wall Street Journal editorial board on Trump backing off his high-tariff threats against China: “Another harsh reality is that China called Mr. Trump’s bluff and seems to have won this round.”

The US economy is set to lose billions of dollars in revenue in 2025 from a pullback in foreign tourism and boycotts of American products.

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.

Trump engaged in insider trading and capitulated to China and the EU. He even admitted that he got scared. "[Trump] didn't just flinch, he ducked. There are trillions still lost."

Wartime president…

An EU official to Handelsblatt: "Nobody in the Commission thought the U.S. government would be this stupid and self-destructive — that they would blow up their own country by letting ChatGPT make their trade policy."

At least 20 people lost their lives over the weekend as storms ravaged the country. Meanwhile, Trump & DOGE have terminated 1,000 employees from NOAA — the agency that provides severe weather forecasting and warnings. Make no mistake: these cuts put people's lives in danger.

"The Trump administration decided the president’s massively expensive ad campaign thanking himself for his anti-immigrant crackdown should be exempt from DOGE’s 'cost efficiency' review." See how this works?

Dow Down 2200+ Points Fox:

Howard Lutnick: "Let Donald Trump run the global economy. He's knows what he's doing. He's been talking about it for 35 years." Hello? Trump has killed almost every business he's ever touched. Watch. https://youtu.be/zbh9SW5Cgqg?si=1AQLnUjnabA61SN-

Jeffries: He somehow sold himself to significant numbers of Americans as a businessman—but he’s a failed businessman, having bankrupted multiple companies. And now Donald Trump is trying to literally bankrupt America.

Trump just pardoned crypto firm BitMex for violating money laundering laws — making him potentially the first president in American history to pardon a corporation. It's truly a new Golden Age for corporate crime.

Ron Johnson: "What's also indisputable is the markets are down about 8% in just two days, and I'm getting all kids of reactions from businesses, farmers in Wisconsin that are highly concerned about what's happening. Those are the facts ... it's a bold, risky move."

"When he said, 'I have the highest poll numbers of any Republican for the last 100 years,' that wasn’t just wrong, it was the opposite of reality: At this point in their terms, every other GOP president since the dawn of modern polling has had more support than him." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Trump never had any plan to bring down grocery prices and help working families.

Trump has spent more than a quarter of his 69 days in office playing golf, costing taxpayers $26 million. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Dear Secretary Rubio, Hi, Tufts professor here. As someone who was on campus during the time in question, your claims about what Rumeysa Ozturk did bear no resemblance to reality. So did you just revoke her visa because she co-authored an anodyne op-ed that never mentioned Hamas? Sincerely, DWD

🚨 WOW: Former National Security Advisor Susan Rice says the Russians "undoubtedly" have all of the information shared on the Trump administration's Signal texts.

Canada has an economist as Prime Minister and Mexico has an environmental scientist and Dr of Philosophy for president. Meanwhile the USA has a rapist con artist and Soviet sleeper agent as their president.

Social Security numbers and other private information of more than 200 former congressional staffers and others were made public Tuesday in unredacted files related to the assassination of JFK. Many of these people are still alive and therefore now vulnerable to privacy theft and doxing
