people need to internalize, very quickly, that federal research grants are a hypercompetitive contracting process not charity, and that what Uncle Sam gets in return for that money is American dominance in the future

It’s incredible that the President of the United States is openly flirting with suspending Habeas Corpus, disappearing people left and right, arresting judges and politicians, accepting ludicrous bribes from foreign countries, and people are still trying to normalize this shit.

Nothing to see here—just the President of the United States pumping his own shitcoin and hosting a dinner with its top holders, while he and his family rake in hundreds of millions of dollars. Golden age of corruption.

Maybe democratic leaders need to make it clear now: if you’re a nation that engaged in absolute corruption with the Trump family, you will absolutely pay a price when he is out of office. Our people deserve better

On this date in 1883, French painter Edouard Manet succumbed to complications from syphilis, having already suffered the amputation of a gangrenous foot. His last words were spoken to his surgeon, who said he had seen and admired his painting of water lilies. "Just kill me, asshole," Manet replied.

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.

Trump is talking about shuttering publications and networks he disagrees with. He's talking about deporting and imprisoning Americans who dissent. This is unprecedented and undemocratic. Wake up America.

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.

Don’t worry folks, MAGA says they’re SURE that the nepo baby who bankrupted casinos, committed egregious business fraud, added $8 trillion to our debt and left office as the worst jobs president since Herbert f’ng Hoover is going to “usher in a golden age” by crashing our economy. Fucking idiots.

America taking over Greenland is a foolish idea. America destroying its relationship with Canada is utter idiocy. America applying tariffs and engaging in trade wars with neighbors is economic nonsense. A lunatic is holding America hostage and his enablers are making fools of themselves.

The people were angry: It took a wheelbarrow of German marks to buy a dozen eggs. Disillusioned nationalists rallied behind a charismatic wannabe dictator who claimed only he could save them. Stream my hour-long special “Rick Steves’ The Story of Fascism in Europe” at www.ricksteves.com/fascism.

If your plan is to keep your head down and hope it goes away, I can show you all of human history why it won’t work. If it’s to capitulate and hope they ignore you, I can show you thousands of Trumpers who’ve already lost their jobs & savings. Fighting back isn’t an option. It’s the only option.

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

1. Tulsi Gabbard was overseas while participating in the Signal chat. 2. Steven Witkoff was in Russia when he was added to the Signal chat. 3. Russia infiltrated Signal some time ago to use it against Ukrainians. It’s high time to Benghazi the shit out of Trump’s administration.

It’s interesting. Whenever I post news about Trump violating the law, everyone asks “Who is going to do something about it?” I’m hoping YOU do. This is YOUR government. After all this time, people are still expecting someone else to save us.
