“Trump is dismantling federal cryptocurrency oversight while building a sprawling family crypto empire worth billions… The most flagrant exploitation of presidential authority in American history." www.citationneeded.news/trump-crypto...

I have a friend that guarded Saddam Hussein after his capture. He said he was quite nice and friendly. Reminds me of Bill Mahers meeting with Trump. Being nice doesn’t mean you aren’t a bad bad man

The 78 year old, grandfather, businessman, billionaire is not spending his final years enjoying the love of family, or passing wisdom to the next generation. He if focused on childish anger, like a toddler. My latest: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/trumps-in-...

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.”

JD Vancie - as the rest of the world sees him.😀

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

AOC: Donald Trump is a criminal. He was found guilty of 34 felony counts of fraud, found liable for sexual abuse. If he wants to find the rapists and criminals in this country, he should look in the mirror

“They were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness…and let other people clean up the mess they had made…” -- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (April 10, 1925).

There are 2 economic ideas behind the Trump tariffs. One is obviously very stupid. The other is also very stupid, but less obviously so. (thread)

🤔 Do You think that Traitor Felon 45's supporters can EVEN comprehend the Truths contained in this meme❓️

This past week, the Chinese learned 1) exactly where Trump's pain points are; 2) how much to squeeze them before he flinches; and 3) how little America's partners and allies want to help this president. Highly useful information.
