It's not a presidency – it's an organized crime takeover of your government.

President Donald Trump and his family have reaped more than $1 billion in crypto cash over the past year, thanks to an industry boom fueled by the administration’s own crypto-friendly policies.

Trump’s Empire Rakes in Over $1B in Colossal Crypto Cash Grab

The president’s son said the true total is “probably more.”

Enough of the insanity. Republicans need to get it together and reign in the destruction. Our economy is in trouble.

Trump and Speaker Johnson think that destroying our health care and jacking up the cost of groceries is about hurting Democrats.

It’s not. It’s about hurting and punishing the American people.

Why is this a matter for the Capitol police, as heinous as it might be? Doesn't a Republican congressman have a First Amendment right to allow (or encourage) his staffers to display Nazi imagery? Isn't it good for voters to know which Republicans have Nazi sympathies?

southpaw @nycsouthpaw.bsky.social · 19h

Politico received an initial tip that a Taylor staffer had a swastika neatly pinned to his cubicle during a zoom call. When confronted, the congressman’s press office pretty implausibly sought to present the situation as a police matter, and Politico went along with that in its headline and lede.

Here's the question I would pose to those saying the only thing that counts as progress is defunding ICE entirely and sending them all to the Hauge: Is it really your position that accomplishing all the reforms discussed in this piece *with divided government* would count for nothing at all?

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 23h

This is good: Rep Eric Swalwell tells me House Dems are now discussing making an end to mask-wearing a precondition for ICE funding.

"When we are in the majority, the masks are coming off," he says.

This is the next frontier in anti-Trump resistance.
