He made himself more visible in 2025 and was directly wrecking the government. Now he's slightly less visible and only wrecking indirectly, which is standard operating procedure for billionaires. Attacking that would mean being hostile to the very idea of concentration of wealth. Can you imagine

"In addition, the Target Corporation must stop offering their Bronx properties as private staging sites for ICE, in compliance with requests from New York officials. Target opening up large active retail parking lots for paramilitary activity is unacceptable and places the entire community at risk.”

It's really quite incredible. Trump began with the lie that a massive response was required for tremendous crime, and now agents in disguise are firing at people who have committed no felonies into cars with young children in them. To keep us safe?

(1) Corporate Media tends to report Trump Family corruption story by story, not putting together the incredible size & pervasiveness of their corruption (2) Corruption directly weakens our economy, security, democracy as Trump sells US policy for cash: this is not a victimless crime!

Very VERY glad to see Jon Ossoff leaning all the way the fuck away from the centrists trying to tell dems to "reconcile" or "tone it down" or "find the persuadable republicans." This is the shit, right here. Hammer down and make them have to say on live TV that they love Nazis. The end.

The purchase, revealed in his latest financial disclosure, involved a firm directly affected by his administration’s actions — and led by presidential ally Elon Musk.

At this stage it doesn't matter to me if this guy is cosplaying. I want a person who talks like this and then promises to back it up to be the next president. If there's somebody who winds up being more convincing than him in the next year or so, I'll vote for that person instead.

It’s really remarkable to me that 10 years into this people feel compelled to “clarify” Trump’s homicidal and often genocidal fantasies. It is deranged for the president to daydream about American cities in states he hates getting blown up. Full stop.

A good article, but the GOP committing to defense of democracy won't happen. We must create disincentives for lawlessness and collaboration with fascists, and that means punishment. Either we impose consequences or we allow the GOP to keep making things worse as it has continually done since Nixon.

So, one of my best argument against the electoral college is that it actually provides perverse incentives to presidents to ignore states they’re not going to win. Of course, Trump takes “perverse” to unhinged extremes.
