Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal. Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration. See how this works?

My Facebook DMs are full of fans like Chris Elliot. Know what I do when I get a message like this? I spend the time to track them down and then send the message to their mothers and sisters and daughters. If you’ve got the energy to send this shit to me, I’ve got the energy to out you.

WATCH: “You’re saying you revere a time when their ancestors were in bondage.” In NC, @davidjoy.bsky.social powerfully explains why it’s wrong to remove a “compromise plaque” without public input, and why revering the confederacy is offensive. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DI9vdzA...

On the one hand, Trump publicly saying he doesn’t know anything about what is going on besides what he’s being told might be a lie to try and shift the buck but on the other the evidence for “he is not actually mentally competent to run the country” is getting stronger by the day

I'm fairly confident Trump could have consolidated a sizable zoomer bloc if he had just let Bidenomics ride. instead he's doing with tariffs what 2008 did to millennials www.gelliottmorris.com/p/chart-of-t...

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US. When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price. Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

I want to know what trades were made by members of the Trump Administration before these unhinged tariff moves? Who, if anyone, shorted stocks before the tariffs were first announced? Who bought back into the market before this pause was announced? Who is profiting from this?

It’s a recalibration of economic control. Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way. When the dust finally settles, they will own more. The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

According to the American Gaming Association estimate, more than $3 billion will have been bet on this year's NCAA basketball tournaments — more than February's Super Bowl. The NCAA says this has led to a distressing consequence: online abuse of players, coaches, and officials from losing bettors.

Sen. Adam Schiff to NBC: "People have seen their retirement savings on fire and there he is out on the golf course. That may end up being the most enduring image of the Trump presidency. That is, the president out on a golf cart while people's retirement is in flames."

I really do think we’re well beyond this point. If you pretend that your differences with friends and coworkers and family are about “politics” when in fact they’re about right versus wrong and fascism versus the rule of law, you’re doing your country a grave disservice.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.
