Trump cares so much about antisemitism.

Empowering it, that is.
Remember — saying you don’t like carpet bombing children is anti-Semitic, but owning assets called “FUCK THE JEWS” and “Swastika Coin” is absolutely not.

What I'm hearing is that his attendance at this dinner where people hand him bribes is not an official presidential action, as designated for absolute criminal immunity in Trump v. United States
REPORTER: On the president's dinner tonight, will the White House commit to making a list of the attendees public so people can see who's paying for that kind of access to the president?

Extortion. Bribery. Obstruction of justicd.

Trump is a mob boss. His adminstration is organized crime.

A civil RICO suit would allow us to go after these crooks without any help from the DOJ. slate.com/news-and-pol...
These Law Firms Should Sue Trump for Racketeering From the Oval Office
Extortion is a crime. But who cares, right? Trump isn’t going to prosecute himself. The good news is that he doesn’t have to.

I had a lady respond to one of my posts on Facebook and ask if I would ever come to Kearney, Missouri. I told her if she got a group together, I would be there.

This is the group. Don’t ever feel alone. There are Democrats in every corner of every little town across the country.

It took 24 hours for Donald Trump to turn Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis into an attack on the man and an opportunity to brag about himself.

The thing about cancer is, Trump is making it easy for polluters to dump cancer-causing chemicals into our air and water, while defunding and firing people who work on cancer cures, while also ending millions of people’s ability to afford cancer treatment.

The call between Putin and Trump was a painful reminder that Trump is the junior partner in the Russian-American relationship and that Putin will continue his mass-murder campaign in Ukraine for as long as he can get away with it.

The bottom 60% of US households can’t afford the basic costs of living.

How do Trump and Republicans respond?

Cutting Medicaid, Social Security, and SNAP.

For Trump, tax cuts for billionaires are more important than Americans being able to afford the basics.

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

“This is so that people making over $1 million… can get a $90,000 average tax cut.” — @jonfavs.bsky.social

Republicans in Congress want to cut Medicaid, raise health costs, and take food from kids—all to give millionaires and billionaires a tax break.

We won't let them. #ProtectMedicaid

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism.

Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

Trump's Department of Justice serves three purposes:

Declare that whatever Trump wants to do is legal.
Dispense favors on Trump's political allies.
Investigate and punish Trump's political opponents.

It is a dangerous three tiered system of justice that is leading our country down a dark road.

Who gave the order to arrest Ras Baraka while he was on public property complying with an officers order?

And who was the officer who shoved the Congresswoman?

We need names.
Please watch THIS particular interview, shared by @prisonculture.bsky.social to get the play by play on what happened. Getting arrested for protesting is a king move, but that's not what happened here. This was a goddamned grab and sack.

He’s currently plating the Oval Office in gold while selling luxury dinners at his private golf club to rich foreigners who buy his personal crypto token. You know, poor people shit.
Leavitt: "I think it's frankly ridiculous that anyone in this room would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit. He left a life of luxury and a life of running a very successful real estate empire for public service."

The plan is to break the parks, claim they must be privatized, take them from the American people and give them to their friends.
Update: the Trump administration has proposed cutting the National Park System by $900 million, about one third of its budget.
Please read/share if you love your national parks!
New from @pamherd.bsky.social & me: A DOGEr is now running the National Park Service.

They were already short of employees to manage record crowds. DOGE has cut 13% and wants to cut 30%.
