Aaron has a good write-up here for those of us who need to brush up on the president's meme coin situation.
New in PN: The shitcoin presidency

"The Trump family used the presidency to enrich themselves in egregiously corrupt ways the first time around, but the memecoin stunt suggests that owning a hotel by the White House and forcing the Secret Service to spend at Trump properties will soon seem quaint."
The shitcoin presidency
$TRUMP is taking corruption to new levels.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Interesting and insightful read, but I hate everything about this.
"In short, four of Maga’s most influential voices are fiftysomething white men with formative experiences in apartheid South Africa. This probably isn’t a coincidence."

Man, I’ll tell you something. If Garland refuses to release the Jack Smith report based on that OLC memo about prosecuting sitting presidents, I’ll be on the fuck Garland train with all y’all. Promise.

Marc is an unrecognized hero for democracy. If you're not following him, get on it! And subscribe to Democracy Docket while you're at it!
I understand Donald Trump for what he is a buffoon. Donald Trump wants you to be scared. Rather than being scared, I am proud to be a happy warrior for democracy. We all need to have the courage to not back down. Do not obey!

When men rage, they blow and shoot things up and start wars.

When women rage, we create.

We knit, do embroidery and cross stitch. We create new things ... while we figure out how to fix the broken things.

NBC News projects: Democrat Adam Gray wins California's 13th Congressional District. This is a flip for Democrats.

The House is now set. Republicans can lose just two votes on legislation in the next Congress.

So let me get this straight.

If you apply for a job at a grocery store, you have to undergo a background check.

But, if you apply to be Director of National Intelligence, you don't?

Got it.

We Need to Cover Donald Trump Differently This Time
Every outrage and insult can’t be a five-alarm fire, as it’s critical for the media to stay focused on the most serious threats to America’s democratic institutions.

They want you to be anxious and afraid. The most subversive thing you can do is attend to your day & what you can control.
