This is what oligarchy looks like:

Trump gave corporate America a $920 billion tax break.

Now, corporations like Amazon, Meta, Apple, Google & Lockheed Martin are returning the favor by giving Trump $300 million for a fancy ballroom.

That’s a pretty good return on investment.

As Republicans keep up attacks on congressional maps, they should get used to seeing my law firm in court. On Wednesday, North Carolina Republicans enacted a newly gerrymandered map that targets Black voters to create an additional seat for a white Republican. The next day my law firm sued.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.

But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.

A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

The documents were under court ordered seal until Jan/2025.
After Jan/2025, the records are now no longer sealed by court order.
Remember when Trump was campaigning and they asked him if he would have any problems with the Epstein files being released. They knew they were scheduled to be released.

The thing to understand about fascism is that most people you know will be bought off. Bought with promises of peace and stability, bought with business opportunities or paid with actual cash. Most people aren't going to resist. Get used to it and get used to operating in that environment.

A Virginia couple has gone to court to try to block Trump from proceeding with the demolition of the East Wing.

Charles and Judith Voorhees has filed a motion in Washington federal court, asking a judge to halt any further damage to the White House while the legality of the project is assessed.

Scott: She said she wants to fire people because they’re gay—and she interrupts to say, “Excuse me, that’s not discrimination.” I’ve never seen anything like that in my life… She’s running with someone on her ticket who happens to be gay. I guess she’s going to fire him too.

Trump’s agents have detained innocent American citizens and residents, from children asleep in their homes to an Alderman’s staffers.

All demanding proof of citizenship, without probable cause, with only the victim’s skin color as a reason.

This isn't about crime or safety.

“These federal agents are operating lawlessly, demonstrating utter disregard for our constitutional rights,” Ald. Mike Rodriguez (22nd Ward) said.

The old rulebook is gone. It's not coming back and we all need to accept that. The DOJ is weaponized. the GOP is rigging elections. Trump is literally bulldozing the White House.

Democrats need to operate under this new reality, fight hard, and play by the same rules.

“If the West Wing is the mind of the nation, then the East Wing is the heart.”

- former First Lady Betty Ford

The East Wing is gone.

Over a century of American history, reduced to rubble.

All to appease the vanity of a corrupt authoritarian.
