Honestly? The $400M plane from Qatar is quaint compared to his crypto scam, memecoin con, insider trading, and tariff shakedowns.

Pam Bondi lobbied for Qatar & a private prison company, got paid $115K/month, then failed to disclose it during her AG confirmation. Now she’s gutted foreign lobbying enforcement under FARA and signed off on $400m planes. The corruption isn’t even subtle anymore.

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

Trump reaches a “deal” to pause the tariffs he imposed on China. I guess all those manufacturing jobs aren’t coming here now, the tariffs won’t replace income taxes, and all the other amazing things they were supposed to do for us are over. So much for Liberation Day.

Oh, look! Bondi was a lobbyist for Qatar at $115K/month. She never should've been confirmed. At the very least, she needs to step back from the Qatari 747 bullshit. www.semafor.com/article/11/2...

Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?

The MAGA regime will be accepting a luxury jet as a gift from Qatar for the orange felon to use as an “Air Force One” and is planning to use it forever. Bribery, espionage and emoluments clause violation all wrapped in one. He should be in jail, not in the WH. I hate him.

A U.S.-funded charter plane carrying dozens of white South Africans who claim to have been victims of discrimination in their home country left Johannesburg on Sunday, heading for the U.S., where the Trump administration is welcoming them as refugees.

Apparently some people are interested in having a baby boom right now. We took to Abigail Adams’s (a revolutionary among revolutionaries) girlhood home with a few ideas of what might help make that happen; basically, respect women.

I salute the 600 Naval Academy grads who released a letter condemning Trump's book bans at the Academy. At this week's Board meeting, I moved to reverse the ban & made clear I won’t give up the fight. Are we really afraid to have midshipmen read Maya Angelou’s “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings”?

Your Mother’s Day weekend reminder that the so-called “party of family values” has historically blocked: -Paid family & medical leave -Universal childcare -Universal pre-K -Expanded Child Tax Credit -Programs to support reproductive health Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

There should be bipartisan concern about the reports that DOGE is merging HHS, Social Security, and IRS data into one database. That is the trifecta of personal information, and any competent person (or machine) could essentially put together a complete profile of your life.

“People will say a lot of things about me when I die, but I am determined that ‘he died rich’ will not be one of them,” Gates, who turns 70 later this year, wrote. “There are too many urgent problems to solve for me to hold onto resources that could be used to help people.”

I want @murray.senate.gov to say, "OK, then you get no budget." Let Kash figure out where the money for his bullshit will come from. Until he's out (and Trump is out), the FBI is not our friend.

Trump is responsible for Ras Baraka's arrest. There is no other way to put it. ICE likely checked with the White House before doing it. Trump needs to be impeached and removed for this abuse of power. Contact your Members of Congress right now, here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

An hour after I published this piece, Stephen Miller just comes right out and says Trump Administration is considering suspending habeas corpus rights for detained immigrants and claims America is being "invaded" right now. Tell me I'm being hysterical and irrational and yadda yadda yadda.

Now Stephen Miller is talking constitutional rubbish about a supposed presidential power to suspend habeas corpus to get back at federal courts that displease Trump too much. But only Congress has suspension power — and then only when “public safety requires it” in times of “invasion or rebellion.”

It doesn't get much discussion but protests need to remain peaceful otherwise we're playing right into lardass' hands. He's dying for a reason to invoke Martial Law. Don't give it to him.

Egg prices are through the roof—and giant egg producers are raking in record profits. Working families deserve to know if those sky-high prices are because of out-of-control corporate greed. Senator Banks and I are pressing the Department of Justice to get answers.
