The Trump Administration has a strict conflict of interest policy. To serve, you must have a conflict of interest. Ethics = self-interest.

I am very politically active and write/call my congressman often. I have lived in his district for almost 2 decades. I have never seen him in person and it’s not for a lack of trying. No town halls. No visiting his district. I’ve never seen hide nor hair of Sam Graves.

Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social! "Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

Take a moment to process this: Musk has had his private thugs—who aren’t public servants and don’t work for the government and operate under no known standard of conduct—as _federal law enforcement agents_. When a CPAC host told him his army of security is “enormous,” he replied it should be bigger.

Trump plans to seize control of USPS and fire the postal board. Yet another executive order, this time to take control of the independent mail agency, then place the Commerce Department in charge of it. Placing USPS under the control of the Commerce Department is viewed as “a regal approach” —

Steve Bannon did a Sieg Heil at CPAC. I'm a 3rd generation Holocaust survivor. My grandparents met in a Concentration Camp. My grandfather's wife & young daughter were murdered.

Kash Patel was confirmed as the FBI Director, which completes Trump's handover of America to Putin. As a child who practiced bomb drills in school in case Russia attacked us during the Cold War, this sickens me. #ProudBlue #PutinsPuppet #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice
