I never get tired of this.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of the Montana Federation of Public Employees, my law firm has filed a new pro-voting lawsuit challenging two new Montana laws that reduce opportunities for Election Day registration and add more burdensome ID requirements. www.democracydocket.com/cases/montan...

Saying the quiet part out loud. Deputy SOS Christopher Landau was greeting the group of 59 Afrikaners who arrived in Washington Monday, when he told a reporter that Afrikaners had received an exception to the president’s order because they could be “assimilated easily” into the United States.

This sums it up.

The White House is a international AUCTION HOUSE right now......

🎯

What if a South African is mixed race? Can they come too or do you have to be 100% white?

The church said it's terminating a decades-long partnership with the federal government to help refugees arriving in the U.S., citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa.

Paul: They started out at 145% got down to 80% now 30%. It is 30% more than we have on currently. It will be a 30% rise in goods coming from China, and somebody will pay that, it will be the consumer.

Remember that several people asked Pam Bondi during confirmation SPECIFICALLY what she would do on matters pertaining to Qatar (which she did not disclose) or GEO (pertinent to the Baraka arrest). She said she'd consult top career lawyer at DOJ abt recusal. Then she fired that lawyer.

Let’s set aside that Pam Bondi used to rake in $115K a month from Qatar, and now says that “flying grift” is totally fine. On its face, this jet makes no sense as Air Force One. Hear me out: There’s supposed to be two identical Air Force One jets…

Don’t worry — now you’ll only have to spend $50 to $150 extra in taxes, per child, for holiday gifts While Trump got a $400 million holiday gift early from Qatar Because he matters way more than your kids — right?

⚡European officials pledge support for Ukraine, new Russia sanctions at London summit. "We agreed...to reduce Russia's ability to wage war by limiting Kremlin revenues, disrupting the shadow fleet, tightening the Oil Price Cap, and reducing our remaining imports of Russian energy."

"And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State." Article I, Section 9, Clause 8

Why are ICE agents masked to begin with? Our law enforcement officers shouldn’t be anonymous. Ever.

2025: Keir Starmer suggests that pressure on housing and public services is because of migrants 2020: Keir Starmer, "Poor housing, poor public services are not the fault of the migrants, they're political failure"

The media needs to report this lie!!

The fact that the attorney general's last job before this one was lobbying for the Qataris is a little on the nose.

Aaaand there it is.

Update: After this article was published, the Department of Justice confirmed to WIRED that the two men had been appointed to lead the Copyright Office. Both are both currently high-ranking officials at the DOJ.

The Constitution disagrees. The Emoluments Clause, part of Article I, Section 9, Clause 8, bans office holders from taking ANY gifts from foreign countries. There is no mention of quid pro quo. That is because the Founding Fathers knew that even the *appearance* of corruption promotes corruption.

Duffy: "By the way, during covid, when people weren't flying, that was a perfect time to fix these problems." (Who wants to tell him ... )

NEW: Trump’s takeover of the Library of Congress is about taking control of the legislative branch. One expert says it’s “dangerous,” given agencies within the Library provide legal advice to lawmakers and police their misconduct.

If South Africa is a sovereign nation, how are we able to send our own planes we paid for to transport white Afrikaners to the U.S., but simultaneously unable to send a plane to return Abrego Garcia et al?

The Afrikaner stunt is the kind of thing that has backfired so far -- it creates legal arguments for other refugees about animus. But holy hell he's not hiding the white sheets.

One thing I’ve often commented on on social media is that there’s actually only a very small cadre of people Trump can rely on—as he seeks out (and can work with) only the most corrupt, unscrupulous, venal, disreputable folks to do his bidding. It’s no surprise he needs his lawyer to do double-duty.

So many layers of corruption.

THIS is the most devastating constitutional crisis.

Over a trillion dollars unaccounted for in the military budget. It's a grift that makes Americans more vulnerable and less healthy.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but 30% is still a high tariff…and it’s still going to drive prices up. But sure, businesses can “plan” for 90 days until the next erratic change. Awesome.

“Create problem, surrender… declare victory.”

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?
