The guy who wrote Trump’s crypto law was on the payroll of the company it regulates. When the law passed, they made him CEO. This is how the White House operates now. Trump set the example and everyone underneath him is keeping up. Watch my full analysis below: open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

The challenges we face must be met by a bold progressive populist movement that strengthens democracy and shakes up the system. We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump. We cannot allow Big Money to dominate our politics and economy. And we cannot capitulate to the oligarchy.

The problem secondary source addicts will assume the quote is real because it was written out, and they will never fact check it, or listen to those who do. ONE BAD METHOD TO RULE TO RULE THEM ALL

The Kennedy Center joins the Reflecting Pool, Lafayette Park and sort of the White House itself (no tours) where supposed renovations have led to indefinite loss of public access. After taxpayer funded plans/construction, these places are fenced off and closed down, not improved.

Donald Trump and Republicans want you to think they’re bringing back the “Golden Age” of economic prosperity of the 1950s and 1960s. But in reality, they’re dragging us toward something else — the Gilded Age of the 1890s. Watch.

He's not ushering in a New Golden Age. He's taking us back to the Gilded Age.

Underlying Trump's success were 77 million voters who lack the skill or inclination to fact check what they believe, and rely on echo chamber sources who don't do that either. An electorate without sound method gives us Trump's.

Thanks to stockholdings in Big Oil, Trump has raked in up to $15.5M from his fossil fuel investments since January. Meanwhile, the American people have spent $71.5B more on gas since Trump's Iran War began. When Trump said, "I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation," he wasn't lying.

And while the Trump regime punishes Canada, our ally on 9/11, it lavishes favors (military, financial, and diplomatic) on Saudi Arabia, the country that gave us most of the 9/11 terrorists. What a messed up administration.

Bill Cassidy, who lost his reelection bid to a Trump-backed primary challenger, says he will vote to confirm Todd Blanche for Attorney General. I can't think of a more disgraceful way to close out your Congressional tenure than by rubber-stamping this dangerous Trump crony.

Trump's self-enrichment schemes never quit. He's using the presidency and White House to hawk "Trump Diet Soda" while raising money for his Never Surrender PAC.
Image from a Trump email shows Trump seated outdoors in the White House rose garden reading his phone while drinking a Trump diet soda. Email subject line reads: "FROM TRUMP: I just cracked open a Trump Diet Soda in the Rose Garden." Text under the photo reads: "I'm sitting in the Rose Garden right now sipping a Trump Diet Soda. Gorgeous day. Beautiful garden. Greatest soda ever made, and I'm not just saying that, believe me. It's true!
