The president of the most powerful nation on Earth is so terrified of the tales that an imprisoned sex trafficker can tell that he plies her with a comfort puppy and custom meals and is holding out the prospect of a pardon.

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

On top of refusing to fully fund SNAP during the shutdown, the Trump regime has:
-Cut $1 billion from USDA programs supporting food banks
-Enacted tariffs that have caused food prices to rise
-Made the largest cut to SNAP in history
-Canceled the annual food security survey
Shameful.

And so he…. wants to eliminate the filibuster to make this easier?
Trump: "What the Democrats will do is make Puerto Rico a state, make DC a state, they're gonna pack the Court. They're gonna end up with more electoral votes. They're gonna end up with 4 senators. And they're gonna do this 100%."

O'DONNELL: Americans have been watching videos of ICE tackling a young mother, tear gas being used in a Chicago residential neighborhood, and the smashing of car windows. Have some of these raids gone too far?

The person who is currently running our country has lost his mind and it’s time we start talking about it.
Trump said he has instructed the Defense Department to “prepare for possible action” in Nigeria over the country’s alleged killing of Christians.
Trump tells Defense Department to 'prepare for possible action' in Nigeria
The move came a day after Trump designated Nigeria a "country of particular concern" over alleged violations of religious freedom.

Trump’s recent obsession with Venezuela is increasingly looking like a shake down for oil & rare earth minerals.
It has little to do with drug boats.
The tech bros have him in a tizzy over rare earth minerals needed for next gen tech.
It’s why he wanted Greenland.

Despite the fact that everything Trump does is designed to enrich himself and the billionaire cronies who paid hundreds of millions to get him elected, his greatest trick was convincing working class rural Christian white people that he’s one of them and on their side. bsky.app/profile/ronf...

This isn't chaos. It's a plan. The defunding of the NEA, the gutting of the NEH, and the capture of the Kennedy Center are straight from the Heritage Foundation's 'Project 2025' playbook. Read my latest TIME article to see why this cultural attack demands our attention.

Watch this.
Open your eyes to this brutality.
ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.
Now share this.
Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.
You have power.
Even sharing this video exerts that power.
