Trump isn't angry at Putin. (If he were, he would doing something more than offer social media posts and limp lip service about Russian atrocities.) He's trying to cover his ass for his always absurd and empty promise that he would end the war within 24 hours. His responses reveal his weakness.

President Trump is quite literally selling seats to a private dinner and White House tours to foreign nationals for $4 million+ a piece. Much of the money goes into his own pocket. This is corruption to the highest degree.

Just read this sentence. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/17/o...

It was one month ago (tomorrow) that US Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that Trump admin needed to 'facilitate' return of K Abrego Garcia from prison in El Salvador. There he sits.

“In the first three months, the Trump family has become $3 billion wealthier, so that’s a billion dollars a month.”

the dynamic on wall street is traders are terrified - not of a recession, but of repeating 2020 where those who correctly foresaw the disaster of covid got killed and those who blindly trusted trump that the problem would magically disappear made fortunes.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: "The President of the United States really does seem hellbent on intentionally destroying the U.S. economy. And even after everything we have seen, there are still some folks—in fact some very powerful, wealthy people—who have not really come to terms with this."

From past 24 hours in US most productive ag region: —ICE is terrorizing people at universities, across East Coast, in big cities, at airports, etc. Far far less aggressive on ag work crews, in red districts. —Top-of-mind threat: perhaps permanent loss of ag export markets, from tariffs.

The NYT has been doing phenomenal reporting on the blatant corruption of the Trump memecoin/crypto policy. Genuinely the most flagrant, bald-faced thing I’ve ever seen short of a politician getting sacks of cash.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: "The United States government quite literally disappeared these people. It won't say where they are. We don't know. Their families do not know where they are. And they have essentially no recourse in U.S. courts because there are no records of their whereabouts."

"Her $60 million contract with the NIH had supported an international network of researchers and clinicians who had produced pathbreaking work on a disease that infects a quarter of the world’s population and kills more than 1 million people per year."

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

Sure, let's definitely put this guy in charge of everything. "While she was pregnant, Musk had urged her to deliver the baby via caesarean section (Musk has posted on X that vaginal births limit brain size and that C-sections allow for larger brains)..." www.wsj.com/politics/elo...

Among other things in this insane wsj article, Elon hits up women on DMs to have his babies, of which he seems to have dozens. He sets them up with money partly structured as loans. He has a compound in TX where he wants each mom/kids to live in separate residences. Kids are called his “legion”.

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

AOC: When he talks about rapists and criminals, he should look in the mirror

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

Imagine being a small business with debt, that you used to import products you had manufactured in china. In the time it took to make the products, tariffs were added, that more than doubled your cost. They are crushed Are there any states offering support for their businesses ?

We found the voter fraud!!!!!
