The Russian government has long been accused of efforts to influence U.S. elections. This week, we revealed an extraordinary development: a member of Putin’s circle financially supporting the president’s son. Join us Sept. 23 for a virtual conversation: events.propublica.org/don-jr-weddi...

Graphic titled "Bankrolled: How a Russian Oligarch Funded Donald Trump Jr.'s Wedding Weekend." Text below reads: Wednesday, Sept. 23. 4 p.m. Eastern time. An image on the right shows dozens of people in a group wedding photo on a beach, including Donald Trump Jr.; his wife, Bettina; and Tiffany Trump. An arrow points to Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev, labeled as "Don Jr.'s secret benefactor," in the back row.

Two men that the Trump administration expelled to Equatorial Guinea were bound, fitted with bags over their heads, beaten and pushed down a flight of stairs, all in plain view of other US deportees, according to witnesses and human rights lawyers. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

That’s amazing! And all it took was about 6 years of being ruled by a treasonous child rapist who also happens to be responsible for high gas prices. If gas prices were low, they’d still be on board with child rape though, because that’s certainly a “both sides” kind of issue.

Samuel Alito flew flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the Jan 6 plot. Both ruled in favor of Trump's mail-in ballot sabotage. I don't think I'll ever get over this.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Just when I thought Republicans have hit rock bottom, somehow they find a new low. I’m sure this isn’t the last time I’ll be saying this. This is truly shocking in an era where I thought Republicans couldn’t shock me anymore.

This broke my heart because it gets to the part of this moment that is hardest to confront. The danger was never just the con man. It was the hunger for what he was selling, and the willingness to sacrifice compassion, decency and other people’s humanity to get it. Read this.

You know what truly breaks my heart?
It's not that America fell for a brilliant con-man. He isn't. And they weren't fooled.
What I find devastating is how many people were absolutely desperate to believe the lies.
How many ached for permission to dress their cruelty in patriotism. How many clung to racist. Homophobic. Transphobic.
Ethnocentric stereotypes. Because they thought the lies were promising them a shortcut to power. A way to profit.
Personally and politically. From the suffering of millions of absolutely innocent people.
The tragedy isn't the con. It's the hunger for it.
The willingness to trade compassion for the cheap thrill of feeling superior. The way hate sells because too many people show up already desperate to buy. —KALEN DION

Senate Republicans refused to convict Trump after Jan 6. Republican SCOTUS appointees gave him immunity. Republicans in Congress today stand idly by as he unleashes death and destruction across the globe. We are now at the whims of a mad king because GOP leaders have refused to constrain him.

Crypto differs in the dollar in two ways - it has no physical representation and its value is not anchored to the perceived stability of the American economy. It’s easily transferred electronically, like most currency, and is extremely volatile. That it’s built on blockchain tech is immaterial.
