ArtI.S9.C8.3 Foreign Emoluments Clause: [N]o 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.

post from Brian Tyler Cohen about Trump accepting a luxury jumbo jet as a gift from Qatar that will be transferred for his personal use. "it is likely the most blantant example of bribery in modern presidential history."

Post sharing article from ABC News: "Trump poised to accept luxury jet as gift for Trump from Qatar: Sources" and the poster "Derrick" said "Nothing makes America Great Again like a, President accepting a grift....er...gift of an airplane from Qatar to be used as Air Force One."

Post from Ahmed Baba, reposing Jonanthan Karl's post "ABC EXCLUSIVE: President Trump is poised to accept a luxury jet as a gift from Qatar. It's to be used as Air Force One and then transferred to the Trump library by January 2029. Perhaps the biggest foreign gift ever. DOJ insists it's legal, not bribery, not violation of emoluments clause."

Post by MWhite: "THE PRESIDENT, WHO HAS NUCLEAR CODES AND TALKS TO HEADS OF STATE CONSTANTLY, CAN'T FLY AROUND ON A JET GIVEN HIM BY THE MOST CORRUPT OIL WIERDOS (SIC) ON EARTH.

THERE IS NO OTHER "ANGLE" TO THIS STORY

This was in an episode of Andor, and it seems very timely. I hope it bolsters you during this challenging time when you feel most exhausted and are losing hope. #starwars #andor #resist #maythe4thbewithyou

"There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy.

Remember this. Freedom is a pure idea. I occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they’ve already enlisted in the cause.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that.

And know this. The day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire’s authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege.

Remember this. Try."

Gestures around wildly. What is happening in this country???? (also, the comments 😂) (also, doesn't the use of "retaliate" indicate they know they are the aggressors?)

Trump tweets "do not retaliate and you will be rewarded" (smh)

Trump's tweet from the White House account "DO NOT RETALIATE AND YOU WILL BE REWARDED" and comments from instagram.

Why would they need to appeal? I thought Miller and Bondi both said that SCOTUS rule 9-0 in their favor? Curious and curiouser....

image of meeting in Oval Office with Steven Miller saying that the SCOTUS reversed the lower court 9-0

Quote from article summarizing meeting in White House: "Yesterday, seated next to Savadoran President Nayib Bukele during an Oval Office press conference, Trump was questioned by a reporter about whether he would ask Bukele "to help return the man your administration says was mistakenly deported, the man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador?" Trump, who appeared to have no idea about what was going on in the case, deferred to Stephen Miller, his deputy White House chief of staff. "The Supreme Court said the district court order was unlawful and its main components were reversed 9-0 unanimously," Miller told Trump. The term misinformation has become somewhat overused in recent times. But it seems applicable here. Miller egregiously misrepresented what the Supreme Court actually said in its order. Was he lying? Did he fail to read the Court's order and is now publicly operating based on his erroneous understanding? Either way, it was a disgraceful performance."

Headline from article with photo of Stephen Miller and the SCOTUS building "Stephen Miller Egregiously Misrepresented a Supreme Court Order While Trump Nodded Along" "No, the Supreme Court did not give Trump free rein in the case of a wrongly deported man."

Defund Tesla and SpaceX. They should survive on their own.

screenshot of social media post of Elon Musk saying "Defund NPR. It should survive on its own" and a reaction from Politics in the Wild: "Around 35% of SpaceX's revenue comes directly from the federal govt. Less than 1% of NPR's budget comes from the federal govt." With a caption that says, "Over the last 5 years, Musks companies have directly taken over $10b in subsidies, grants, and contracts from the federal govt, and that number will surely grow under Trump. Is he the biggest welfare queen in American History?"

"Disappearing message time was set to 1 week" This is a violation of multiple federal statutes and regs: Federal Records Act, Presidential Records Act (for Vance), Freedom of Information Act, Government in the Sunshine Act, National Archives and Records Administration (NARA)

screenshot of the Houthi PC small group chat on Signal that shows it had 19 members, and that the person was added to the group by Michael Waltz. It also said Disappearing message time was set to 1 week. And MAR added MAR.

Inspiring evening at the Aero Theater listening to @ricksteves.bsky.social explain the power of travel as a political act - we must meet our "enemies" & learn the narratives on both sides of the "wall" - how true that travel can enrich us individually and also collectively, especially now.

Now Musk can kill four birds with one stone: (1) Get access to all personal information about every US citizen. Very useful for training his AI system, Grok. (source: nymag.com/intelligence...) 1/4 (🧵)
