The scale of the alleged corruption is staggering - here is the total value of the most serious alleged direct benefit to past presidents or family members as compiled by o3.

When the topic is women the conflict is that women are failing society. When the topic is men it's that society is failing them.

That resonates with me and I know it resonates with you too @girlybojon.bsky.social

dailypost.ng/2025/04/30/a... This is bad folks

SCOOP: A young man with no government experience who hasn’t even finished his undergrad degree is working for Elon Musk’s DOGE at the Department of Housing and Urban Development and has been tasked with using AI to rewrite the agency’s rules and regulations.

Trump does care about the pain, chaos, and turmoil he’s causing—in the following sense: He loves it. It makes him feel powerful.

I shit you not, Trump took Harriet Tubman OFF the National Parks Underground Railroad memorial and instead centered it around White people. Read it yourself!! 👇👇 apple.news/Aspm2lJFkRnu...

SCOOP: Elon Musk’s DOGE has plans to stage a “hackathon” next week in Washington, DC. The goal is to create a single “mega API”—a bridge that lets software systems talk to one another—for accessing IRS data, sources tell WIRED.

The Daily Show uploaded a video showing Fox News attacking Obama for golfing, but replaced him with Trump. Epic!

How to tell if your President is a piece of shit, Chapter 851.

Then he came for the automakers... @gregsargent.bsky.social on the latest economic cynicism, nihilism and diktats from our nation's businessman-president.

That comes out to a little over $600m over the course of 4 years. 🤬🤬

NEW: Russian-American businessman Anton Postolnikov loaned $8 million to Trump Media in 2021-2022. He also sent $10.8 million to a firm named Eleven Ventures LLC. New reporting shows a firm with that name is linked to Eric and Don Jr.'s new business partners, my latest: newstracs.com/news-on-russ...

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

US border officials see 116% increase in egg seizures at the Canadian border, fentanyl seizures remain near zero. www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7486369

That awkward moment when you get exactly what you voted for. “You are the DUMBEST smart person I have ever met”

This is the gold standard measure of atmospheric carbon, the one you see in almost every chart that tracks emissions.

Elon Musk’s loyalists at DOGE have infiltrated dozens of federal agencies, pushed out tens of thousands of workers, and siphoned millions of people’s most sensitive data. The next step: Unleash the AI. THE INSIDE STORY:

Um why are the Brits doing a much better job at this?

Is today a good day to remind everyone, as a Trump biographer, that as detailed in PROOF OF CORRUPTION (2020) Donald Trump allowed his friend Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to shell our troops in Syria because he was more loyal to Erdoğan than America? Now you understand the Solong-Stena Immaculate Incident.

Bondi still working on those “national security redactions” in the Epstein files?

When elected officials aren’t allowed to question those in power, your democracy is in full collapse. Assemblymember and NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani held back by police for trying to question Trump’s ethnic cleansing head Tom Homan. #FuckICE (📷 @mahoneyw)

Per @johnleguizamo.bsky.social: “Medicaid is called by different names in different states! Stay awake America you lose everything you rely on!”

Based on multiple interviews with sources in and outside of the Trump administration and also written communications reviewed by Rolling Stone

Sabres showed a nice tribute video for Jeff Skinner in his return. Loud cheers from the crowd. Don't forget the impact he made off the ice while he was here, including three $53,000 donations to local organizations during the pandemic.

In a world of Matts, be a Derek.

One of these men flew 39 combat missions. The other carries his small son on his shoulders as a human shield and gives Nazi salutes…

If you were really looking for fraud at SSA, you wouldn’t need write access. You WOULD need write access if you wanted to CREATE fraud where none existed as a pretext to shut down Social Security.

Rep Jake Auchincloss: “Trump is transactional. He’s trying to sell out Ukraine. So the question is—who’s buying Trump? The Kremlin,by buying the Trump crypto coin. If the president wants to prove me wrong, then release the records like I asked.” #TrumpWatch #Ukraine #Accountability #StandWithUkraine

Go Warren, GO!! ✨

A couple of golf outings could pay for over 300 federal jobs for an entire year.

Wu: If you wanted to make us safe, pass gun reforms. Stop cutting medicaid. Stop cutting cancer research. Stop cutting funds for veterans. That is what will make our city safe.

This is not what I want for my country. The Rise of the Brutal American. This is how the bad guys act. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

It’s funny. You can ask yourself one question about every foreign policy decision Trump has made since usurping power and the answer is the same for all of them. Who benefits from this decision? It’s always Russia.

“I won’t forget” ?

We already saw this with the asinine "crypto reserve" pitch. Mystery investor went long on a bunch of crypto assets to the tune of $200 million a couple hours before Trump announced it. Even if it never happens, someone made bank off knowing it would be floated.

Master class in dealing with narcissistic assholes.

Trump and Musk-- through their evisceration of our national intelligence infrastructure and our law enforcement agencies-- are opening the door for Russia and our other adversaries (including domestic terrorists) to launch a major attack against us. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

HERO vs ZERO I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore. #SlavaUkraini🇺🇦 #ShameOnUS🇺🇸
