FEC records show Elizabeth Fago donated $1M to Trump's super PAC in April.
What happened next?
Three weeks later Trump pardoned her son, a nursing home executive who pleaded guilty to withholding millions from his workers' paychecks (while buying a luxury yacht).
Everything is for sale.

A legal permanent resident researching cures for Lyme disease has been detained by immigration officials for over a week.
He has reportedly been denied access to an attorney and his family has not been given a reason for his detention.
We cannot become immune to this cruelty.

Much of Trump's authoritarian power grab has been green-lit (at least temporarily) by the Supreme Court's "shadow docket."
This allows justices to effectively make rulings in secret without explaining their decisions.
Is it any wonder why so many do not trust the Roberts court?

The irony of Trump usurping the power of Republicans in Congress and the independence of federal agencies like the DOJ is that any attempt to stop or delay the release of Epstein files only adds to the appearance of a cover up.
Trump is being hoisted on his own petard.

reminder that in the 80s jesse ventura wanted to unionize wrestlers for better healthcare and safety standards. hulk hogan ratted him out to vince mcmahon.
that's why the average WWE obit reads like "died at 36 after every bone in his skull simultaneously shattered. his blood screened for uranium."

Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel spent $15 million helping JD Vance win a U.S. Senate seat.
That investment is clearly continuing to pay off.

The Pentagon just announced a no-bid contract that will be awarded to Palantir for "the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the field of geospatial intelligence."
This means Palantir will have unprecedented access to maps, satellite imagery, GPS data, and more.

Last year, the FTC banned two Big Oil executives from serving on the boards of oil giants Exxon and Chevron after it found they colluded to fix gas prices.
Trump’s FTC just overturned that ban.
His regime is rubber-stamping corporate corruption.

We’re proud of our siblings who rally together and speak up when hard-won labor rights are threatened. From collective bargaining to retirement security—and everything in between—these aren’t just benefits, they’re the backbone of dignity on the job. ✊

The number one advice any & every writing professional can & will give you is this:
DO NOT BE AFRAID TO SUCK.
You have spent years reading books, watching movies & TV, developing taste to know good from bad. NO ONE GETS TO READ YOUR WRITING UNTIL YOU LET THEM. Trust your taste & write fearlessly.
