"During the transition, law enforcement officials notified the incoming administration about the case as Mr. Trump’s team considered whom to appoint to to government positions..."

And they still gave him the job!

Did he keep the $50k?

And what was his Cava order?

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash.

Pam Bondi knew.

Kash Patel knew.

Emil Bove knew.

And they made the investigation go away.

A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

This one comment should strike fear in everyone.

Threat assessments from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Homeland Security highlight that racially-motivated extremists, often associated with far-right ideologies, remain the most lethal domestic threat.

Yes, this is the plot of Superman.

But this is real, it’s happening as we speak. People are dying every day, billionaires are profiting from it, and your taxes are paying for it.

Demand an end to this cruelty.
Demand justice and a free Palestine.
Demand accountability.

This has always been the plan. Trump, Netanyahu, Gulf rulers, and tech billionaires like Thiel & Musk are committing genocide and destroying Gaza so they can carve up the land to build tech-enabled authoritarian cities where they rule as kings.

This is not an exaggeration—they have a business plan.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

What does race and gender have to do with it? Everything.

Trump knows racism and sexism rile up his base & divide our coalition, blinding us to the real threat: an attack on the Federal Reserve.
