The New Yorker reporter Ronan Farrow was correct when he said Donald Trump was involved in as many as 60 "catch and kill" operations during the 2016 presidential election in which Trump first won power, former Trump lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen said.

Trump has spent years fuming that he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize. So a deeply compromised organization invents a “FIFA Peace Prize” just for him. It’s authoritarian ego-management 101: if reality won’t deliver a trophy, make one up. #holdfast #SteadyState
You can hear a CNN panelist off camera laughing as Trump gets the “2025 FIFA Peace Prize.”

Elon Musk is about to become the first trillionaire.
The reason poverty exists in the wealthiest country on earth isn't because we can't feed the poor — it's because we can't satisfy the rich.
We should tax trillionaires out of existence.

An American president is pressuring politicians of his own party on social media by name, even after some of them have received threats and been swatted in the wake of prior Trump postings. This is what experts on political violence call "stochastic terrorism."

Thank you Senator Kelly for standing up to this bully who lacks a moral compass and exhibits malignant narcissism.

If the US can do whatever it wants to whomever it wants with no regard for human rights, the Geneva Convention, US law, the UCMJ, or international law, then we are no different than Vladimir Putin and Russia, who I suppose was the role model for Trump foreign policy doctrine.

Shocking as this moment is, none of us should pretend we weren’t warned.

An official government account using the word “remigration” is not normal. It’s an imported term from European far-right movements that refers to mass expulsion. Democracies do not use population-purification language. #holdfast #SteadyState

Everyone saw this coming.
Trump stiffed his contractors, then fell out w/his architect because he refused to back his demand for a ballroom bigger than the WH.
And those corporate donations he keeps bragging about are pledges, not real money. Taxpayers will end up on the hook one way or another.
