💔Gabrielle Union on missing black girls that no one talks about. The overwhelming majority of these girls never even have an Amber alert. Trump claims he wants to clean up crime though. Bullshit.

The Jan. 6 rioter who breached the Senate floor - and was subsequently pardoned by Trump - was arrested Sunday for threatening to assassinate Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Here are a few of his text messages. Tell me again how Democrats are radical nut jobs⁉️

Fuck this guy!

Johnson says he won't block a floor vote to release the Epstein files

But first, the speaker says, the discharge petition needs to reach 218 signatures — and Democrats need to end the shutdown.

Please. Just stop.

The only time y’all’s elected Republicans will beg the Felon’s regime to do their actual job is when said Republican is vulnerable.

Get a clue, America! The GOP doesn’t care about their constituents! Let the chips fall where they may.

The kids are right! Now it’s time for pedo protecting Republicans to get back to DC, fix the healthcare mess they created & release the files!

The kids are fired up & leading the charge. The next generation isn’t waiting their turn they’re making it happen.

7M said ‘No Kings.’ Only 600k said ‘Yes, Sire.’” 👑🚫
Fun fact: More people marched against Trump than ever showed up for him — even counting both inaugurations.

Turns out democracy draws a bigger crowd than delusion. 💅✊

This is the kind of racist, misogynistic, homophobic hate that our young boys and men are listening to. No wonder so many of them love Convicted Felon Donald Trump-he really is their king.

A month in the manosphere

One of the most significant political developments in the last few years is the emergence of the “manosphere,” a loose network of longform podcasts that are especially popular with young men.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Today, protesting takes bravery that many didn’t realize they had in them considering the current regime. However, protesting alone takes huge courage! We don’t see this account here on Bluesky but thought they need exposure from TikTok.

Trump falsely claims that his ballroom is privately funded. In reality, taxpayers are funding the demolition and construction costs. Democrat Mark Takano is seeking to halt the project during the shutdown, and Democrats may follow him and turn on Trump as well.

#ProudBlue #Resist #ArgentinaBailOut

Seems like this bailout of Argentina isn’t quite the “deal” it seemed to be. There is no collateral required of Argentina - what could possibly go wrong?
Oh, did you know, that $20 billion has doubled into $40 billion? Another bad decision by the dear leader.

Bill Grueskin @bgrueskin.bsky.social · 17h

Our government is doing a $20 billion currency swap with Argentina.

Argentina’s currency is down 30% this year.

This might be a problem.

www.wsj.com/finance/arge...

Alongside the planned $20 billion from banks, the Treasury Department has also agreed to swap $20 billion for a roughly equivalent amount of Argentine pesos, meant to boost Argentina's foreign-currency reserves and help it protect the value of its currency.
By law, the swap doesn't require Argentina to post collateral, and the value of the pesos is supposed to be near equal to Treasury's investment. But the peso is steadily depreciating and could slide further if the government is forced by the IMF to allow the peso to freely float and have its price determined by market forces. In the past, countries like Mexico have Pledged other assets to ensure U.S. taxpayers are protected in similar transactions.

Convicted Felon Donald Trump commuted the sentence of Convicted Felon George Santos, a complete shock to absolutely no one.

Why?

Because Santos likes Trump and voted Republican.
