Retired guy. I used to do things and used to know a bit about politics and healthcare. Apparently what I thought I knew was not true.

The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

Presidents with nothing to hide don’t ban reporters. But this President is historically corrupt—so he has a LOT to hide. Stand up for the Free Press. Every leader should condemn this.

A Democrat should file a bill on Monday for everyone to get $5,000 checks right now to see if Mike Johnson, John Thune and congressional Republicans will advance and pass it. Call their bluff. Pass the bill.

to hear Donny tell it, no one has ever done more for the American worker than he has. fact check: fuck off with this bullshit. thank you for your attention to today's post, in which I set the record straight. link is here: bit.ly/4czGHsv
as always with Donny and his Republican shitweasel enablers, it’s watch what they do, not what they say.

Donny has done everything within his power to make life worse for We the People — but here he is, imagining himself to be God’s gift to the American worker. oh, please. that’s such a cool story, Mister You’re Fired. tell it again — preferably while you’re fucking straight off into deep space.

Trump’s 9/11 comment that he went down to the scene to help has been a lie he’s repeated for 25 years. It’s his own version of stolen valor. He did nothing except go on TV & brag that he now owned the tallest building in Manhattan after the towers went down. Which was also a lie.

What worries me, and the legals I've heard, is that SCOTUS used MAGA language in their shadow docket ruling. They sure sound like they're going to weasel-word another decision on behalf of their pal Trump. It gives me nightmares.

From Stuart Greenberg: GOP Sens. John Cornyn and Thom Tillis are assholes!! If they really wanted to do the right thing, they’d use their new found power to get all the Epstein Files released before voting to advance Todd Blanche. Instead they roll over, sit up and perform on cue.

I had a glimmer of a hope that Tillis and Cornyn were going to show some spine and block Blanche from becoming the AG. In the end I’m not surprised they caved. This has to end in November.

What will the media companies who are publishing stories that Blanche agreed to a “deal” with Cornyn & Tillis to kill the slush fund write when people start getting paid with our tax dollars & this whole thing is revealed as a sham? Since they aren’t writing how it’s a sham now.

Excuse my ignorance, but if Todd Blanche is confirmed, couldn’t he just issue a new memo under a slightly different framework that still gives Trump the slush fund and the immunity he wanted? We can’t trust these people.
