PLEASE take 30 minutes to watch this excellent summary of the most blatant corrupt acts in the first 6 weeks of the Trump administration. We cannot let them normalize corruption just because it is being done so openly. THIS IS NOT NORMAL youtube.com/watch?v=hyco...

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

This is why Dudek is worse than any Commissioner that the senate would confirm. He was going to be fired, and Musk bailed him out. He owes his continued employment to DOGE, so he just lets them call all the shots.

The oligarchy says “stop talking about egg prices!” Trump’s trade wars, tax cuts for the rich, & rampant corporate greed have raised the cost of living for working families. Stop gaslighting us—eggs are just the tip of the iceberg.

I don’t know who our nominee is going to be in 2028 but I can tell you I won’t support any Democrat that refuses to promise investigations and prosecutions for the many crimes of this Administration. We’re not going to play this stupid game again of upholding “norms and traditions.” Period.

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America. Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

Think about that. He’s claiming to have authority that exceeds the supreme law of the land. He’s saying he’s a king or a god. Yes, that pile of orange shit thinks he’s on one end or the other of the divine right of kings. Impeach. Convict. Remove. And do it before he starts shooting Americans.

Trump is holding a crypto summit today to promote a "national crypto reserve," which would likely enrich himself and his crypto industry donors. Who will get left holding the bag for the largest Ponzi scheme in history? American taxpayers.

There is no "center" between decency and indecency, between democracy and authoritarianism, between a government of billionaires and a government of the people. If Democrats move to "the center", they will pave the way for the next Trump.

Can you keep calling a "rapid unscheduled disassembly" unscheduled when it happens every time? And why was Elon allowed to make a new launch before an investigation of the last failed launch? Oh, that's right, Elon is in charge of investigating himself now. And firing anyone who says otherwise.
