This flew under the radar, but Trump says his administration won't enforce an anti-money laundering law that requires corporations to disclose information on who really owns shell companies to the Treasury. "Drain the swamp."

As I near yet another birthday, my mind rolls around two things I never thought I'd live long enough to see: legal weed, and the fact that the word "fuck" is now in general use by everyone. Oh, wait, there's a 3rd thing I never thought I'd see: the end of democracy.

“You’d think Elon Musk had everything. He’s the richest man in the world, he already owns Twitter, …and the President of the United States is his nanny. But there’s one thing he doesn’t have. A seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.” -Joe Gallina

I just signed the first bill of the year: lowering costs for small grain buyers. Prosperity for our ag community is not a partisan issue. I’m glad to see legislators come together in a bipartisan way to get this done.

Can you even believe this crap?! We have a goddamned grifter in the White House. While this country’s in complete chaos, Trump’s making money off of his presidency which we know is a violation of the emoluments clause. Trump and his administration are corrupt AF and Law & Order is a myth.

Trump and DOGE are dismantling Social Security— firing thousands of SSA employees and shuttering offices. Why? Because they don't want one of the govt's most successful programs to work. They want to pave the way for privatization so Wall Street can gamble with our retirement.

America broke itself just because it couldn't stand women and people of color finally getting a small piece of the pie. Alas. Same as it ever was. White supremacy and greed. Dangerous, wild, self-destructive drugs.

One point that seems to be getting lost—the US is paying El Salvador to incarcerate detainees for a year (like when the gov’t pays a private prison company). The US still controls their custody in that sense & courts should have at least some jurisdiction, as bizarre as this is.

The USIP is a non-profit that does work exposing threats posed by China to neighboring countries like Taiwan and many others. The Chinese Communist Party is a major business partner of Elon Musk. They have information the CCP would like to have. This is not good.

Donald Trump humiliated at Kennedy Center by being asked about JD Vance being humiliated. Donald Trump proceeds to lie and says that he doesn’t know anything about that but expected the question to come up which means he knew exactly what happened.

Shorn of the legalities, the Admin basic position is that we can do whatever we want if we say it's national security (and that includes Trump lies about same, which can't be questioned) and we don't have to tell court or anyone why. That's tyranny, plain and simple.

Treasury says market corrections are “normal.” Sure, if normal means rigged casinos where billionaires never lose, and the house—aka taxpayers—always foots the bill when their bets go south.

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.
