He absolutely should be impeached and tried for treason, along with his many enablers in the White House and Congress. It's unfuckingreal that it hasn't happened yet. 🤬

In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a Florida home, pledging it would be his principal residence. Seven weeks later, he attested a neighboring property would also be his principal residence. In reality, he does not seem to have lived in either home. (Published Dec. 2025)

Ultra-wealthy donors are spending a staggering $430 million to fight state efforts to raise their taxes. If they can afford to drop millions of dollars to keep their taxes low, they can afford to pay slightly higher taxes. They’re making the case for taxing the rich better than anyone else could.

Career staff at the CFTC were investigating suspiciously timed trades surrounding Trump’s announcement that the U.S. would not bomb Iranian power plants. Then a senior adviser to Trump’s CFTC commissioner told them to back off. Could this administration get any more corrupt?

Kroger just announced the largest layoffs in its history, with plans to cut 3,000 employees as it ramps up use of AI. Reminder that Kroger has spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 and paid its CEO $14M last year — 417x its median worker's pay. AI is turbo-charging corporate greed.

WaPo got the list of the donors to Trump’s ballroom and it’s every bit as shady and corrupt as you would expect. It’s got everything: pardons, Adelsons, Winklevoss twins and universe of corporations and oligarchs with business before the government. (gift link wapo.st/4yiUDPx)

Thirty years ago, Susan Collins promised Maine voters she’d serve only two terms. Now she’s a multimillionaire asking them for a sixth. Her current net worth is estimated to be roughly $6.8 million. Not bad for a Senate salary of $174,000 per year.

Russians are confused about the diesel deal. They say, "There’s a huge fuel shortage in Russia, with long lines at gas stations and rising prices. Yet we’re going to sell diesel to the US? This will only lead to even greater shortages and higher prices."

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.
