So nothing happens to the Trump donor who got $15 million in tax dollars to wreck the reflecting pond, but if a taxpayer touches a piece of the floating debris from the disaster scene they get 10 years in prison. Trump’s dystopian America.

While discussing the U.S.-Iran deal, Abir Al-Sahlani, Member of the European Parliament, didn’t hold back: “I’m tired of watching old men destroy the international rules-based order… It’s always women, children, and people with disabilities who pay the price.” 💔 #SheShed

NEW: lots of you have sent me this article asking for my thoughts. I’ve been able to confirm it. Just as she says, Trump’s administration is staging vote.gov on a non-government cloudflare account under the EOP where there’s no oversight or accounting. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/thedreyd...

It’s bullshit for the Washington Post to call this looting of the Treasury a “deal“ and an “agreement.” The Trump regime is self-dealing to create an agreement between Trump and Trump, with no judge allowed to weigh in. It’s a dictator stealing from the people.
In unusual deal, a $1.8 billlion fund that could help Trump allies is created. 
The agreement to end the Trump family’s lawsuit against the IRS grants a commission broad authority …

Didn't bend, didn't cower, didn't even feel the need to stand next to Trump grinning awkwardly like it was normal. And now he's emerged unscathed with his job and his dignity intact and his reputation even stronger than before. Huh. Seems like this could be a model for others in power.

In 2019 Trump wanted to hold a G7 summit at his Doral resort. But there was and outcry and he dropped the idea. Now he’s holding a G20 summit at Doral and the only controversy is over whether Putin will attend. This is the normalization of corruption. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Trump’s recent moves suggest a “win or destroy” mindset, not a real strategy. Jason Overstreet is right: leadership that exists only to win is dangerous, and the fact that speaking plainly about it is controversial is telling. 👇

Exactly 5 minutes BEFORE Trump announced a 5-day delay in bombing Iranian power plants, someone purchased $1.5 billion worth of S&P futures in a single trade. Someone also sold $192 million in oil futures. Trump and/or his cronies are engaging in market manipulation and insider trading.

Jen's getting at something bigger here – a feature of Trump's character. He assumes nearly all precedent exists because those who preceded him were idiots. He does not (cannot?) imagine that sometimes things are the way they are for good reason. That personality defect is a national security threat.
