This story about a Texas based oil company showing up in Greenland without permission and dropping off equipment isn’t getting a lot of media coverage. It’s illegal to drill for oil in Greenland due to new laws passed. The big question is why this company feels so emboldened.

Great read if you’re interested in the catering truck scandal. Very informative on why the press needs to know where POTUS is at all times.

While Trump is spending tax money to cancel wind farms, China is producing green energy machinery for the rest of the world. What a bad time to have an old crank in the Oval Office.

If he won’t defend the United States of America from a country he’s attacking, he should be removed from office. Hard to think of a anything that could be less controversial than that.

When Secretary of transportation, Sean Duffy, isn’t filming a reality TV show with his family, he’s busy making sure that all information about bike lanes are removed from the DOT website. Yes, that’s right, he’s at war against bike lanes. 🚴🏽🚴🏻‍♀️🚴🏿‍♂️

This is very odd. The reflection pool is connected to a vast water system that extends below the White House. There’s a lot more going on than is currently being reported.

The planned fireworks display is very Trumpian—a grotesque spectacle that nobody’s asking for, that will dangerously pollute the air, and will cost $1.6 million. If you want to watch it in person, you must arrive at 6:00 for the 10:30 show but you can’t bring chairs, coolers, or backpacks.

Great thread explaining why the chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus lost his primary. There are too many people like him in Congress—people who enjoy the status but don’t want to put the work in.

The reality: Men do not need to put on a dress and go into a public restroom to abuse women and children. They usually just go home. Or don a clerical collar. Or wear a badge. Or run for office. Or play pro sports. Or they just do it in public, wearing pants.

This story isn’t getting much coverage but it’s another example of Trump destroying American assets for his own reasons. And Congress just lets it happen even though we spent $hundreds of millions to put the system in place. He’s trashing this country because he doesn’t care.

Normally the 4 years of college allows people to be exposed to new ideas but that often leads to them breaking away from the conservative values taught in the home. The goal of Repubs is to force our Ivy Leagues to become more like Christian colleges that don’t challenge conservative thinking.

It always comes as a surprise to me when wealthy, powerful people choose to use their influence to make the lives of transgender people miserable. Think of all the lovely things you could do with a $billion for yourself and for others. Why use it to spread hate?

A ray of hope in our dark time line. First we stop corporate spending on elections (which always seemed impossible until now.) Once every state has cut the dark money pipeline from corporations, then we go after individuals with bottomless pockets. It’s the only way we can be a true democracy.

More proof that White Evangelical Christians in America are more interested in supporting their team (team Trump) than in practicing their religion. The 10 Commandments are all broken or ignored by leadership. The Sermon on the Mount means nothing to them. Trump, not Jesus, is their guiding light.

This is grotesque. Trump’s gaudy ballroom that’s going to overshadow the White House, that he has no right to build, that he said was under budget, that he said wouldn’t cost the taxpayers one dime, is going to be paid for with taxes and cost $billion.

This sounds like a simple assignment for a journalist. If you can figure out which state, there can’t be that many Lamborghinis on the road. Where does one go to get them serviced? Get some addresses, make some phone calls. This is such a ludicrous lie out of the WH it could easily be debunked.

The anti-abortion movement has reached its most lethal level: a pregnant woman should die (taking the undeveloped fetus with her to the grave) rather than be allowed an abortion to save her life. Once Roe fell, we were always going to end up here with the ultimate punishment for having a uterus.

Federal tax breaks for these mega corporations saves the CEOs and stockholders billions but does nothing for the taxpayers. It certainly doesn’t guarantee jobs.

If a Dem was proposing to spend billions of dollars on ballrooms & arches and statues, Fox would be screaming about the national debt. How about we invest in bridges, tunnels, wind farms, etc that would actually help people before we build a lot of useless, marble monuments.

🚨 wait! I thought this was a private enterprise. Why does he need government funds? The only stated goal is real estate development in Gaza. Why should American tax dollars pay for this? I’m hoping the next administration kicks this gang of criminals out of the federal building they appropriated.

Trump’s giant gaudy arch will actually represent the triumph of stupidity over thoughtfulness, greed over empathy, and bigotry over science. The eugenicist running the our national health system has decided that only the fittest should survive because he has confused wealth with strength.

I'm not sure about you, but I think the collapse of US hegemony, a global price spike and recession, and a new ground war in the Middle East are far worse than drag queens reading books at the library.

It’s wild that the worst president we ever had has been showered with more trophies, awards, and medals during his presidency than any other president. The Oval Office will be stuffed with so many gold gewgaws before his 4 years are up that he’ll have to ship some off to Mar-A-Lago.
