Trump has hired over 100 fossil fuel insiders to staff his administration and advance the industry's agenda.

Is it any wonder why his Big Ugly Bill contains more than $40B in new subsidies and tax breaks for Big Oil?

The same with Mitt Romney’s successor in Utah.

Alaska’s Dan Sullivan, with a Trump endorsement he probably didn’t need in a fairly safe seat, and significant military and foreign policy experience that should inform his actions, has gone all in on ceding his authority and even excusing the lawlessness of the administration.

So this is the difficulty. Not just how do we get to a deal, but how do we get to a deal we trust will be honored when Johnson is here *promising* to let Trump impound and take back whatever he wants from what they pass?

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 17h

Q: Rescission are something Dems have said is a reason for a lack of trust. What rescissions are you discussing?

JOHNSON: We have more than $37t in debt. We're doing everything we can to get us back to sound fiscal responsibility. What does that include? A rescission package is part of our process

Somebody, whether it’s an independent individual or a group or the DNC, should take this story and make sure it gets to every media outlet and podcast around. Sadistic Gestapo thugs.

Pam Bondi gets uglier with every clip of her I see. People lying...when everyone knows they are lying...yet they do it anyway...they're the most repulsive thing you can ever see. That feeling of being repulsed...and what you are looking at...when you feel that way...fuse... permanently.

In Tron, you experience what it would be like if humans existed in digital space and if digital life existed in the physical world.

Through this journey of digital and human life interacting, you come away feeling that to live is to be free—and it is your duty to resist anything that prevents that.

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

Donald Trump is weaponizing the DOJ against his political opponents.

Meanwhile, he's gutting the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section which assists U.S. attorneys’ offices around the country with investigating crooked government officials.

"Drain the swamp."
