A couple of weeks ago, Big Tech billionaires and wealthy CEOs flocked to the White House to praise Trump.

In return for their loyalty, donations to Trump’s campaigns, and purchases of his crypto scam, he's giving them massive handouts.

Trump is a president for the billionaires, not us.

🎧 Night and Fog: History Repeats

"Nacht und Nebel" refers to a Nazi policy enacted to disappear people in the dark of night

The past is repeating - in 🇺🇸 and in broad daylight.

The echo of this dark history is loud and ominous, and our "warning cries" must be as well!

I checked their FEC stuff, and it seems they took in over 600 grand and gave less than 60.

We are in hell. The VA is cancelling parental leave that has already been approved, some parents already on leave.

what donald trump wants more than anything is video of american soldiers gunning down american citizens
This could end up very badly given what we know of Rules on Use of Force (RUF) for Guard in DC. And very different training regimens compared to local police.

Wall Street Journal reporting:

"National Guard troops deployed to Washington, D.C. are preparing to carry weapons in the coming days."
Exclusive | National Guard Soldiers Prepare to Carry Weapons in Washington, D.C.
The shift comes after defense officials said the soldiers deployed to the capital wouldn’t be armed.

As federal authorities crack down on homeless encampments in D.C., revisit our reporting on the possessions people lose in sweeps — and how these losses can traumatize them, exacerbate health issues and undermine efforts to find housing.

I have a chronic condition. I also have health insurance.

One treatment is $3500. My portion is $2000. If I weren’t insured, the cash price for the procedure would be $1000. But, since I have insurance, I don’t qualify for the cash price.

Health insurance is a fucking scam.

Karl: The transformation has been gradual and unmistakable.

By February, some golden urns on the mantle.

April, gold adornments appear on the walls.

By July, it's gold everywhere.

Just this week more scaffolding popped up, even more new gold trim appeared.

Pritzker’s torching Trump as the cheater he is—cheats on his wives, cheats at golf, and now plotting to cheat America out of the 2026 midterms.

Abbott & Trump want rigged maps because they can’t win fair. Illinois won’t help.

We won’t let them steal what they can’t earn.

Missouri Democratic lawmakers are in such a superminority that they don’t even need to show up for laws to be passed in this state.

An even sadder statement? A piece of legislation can go from the House to the Senate to becoming a law on the Governor’s desk while never being signed by a woman.

Regardless, this is just another gift to Putin. The tally thus far: a fractured alliance, fragmenting security environment, pressure on friends, embrace of Russia, no ceasefire, and Russia elevated.

All in all, this Summit is shaping up to be a disaster.

The Trump-Putin Summit, as it is being framed, a peace deal “land-swap” between Russia and Ukraine, is very troubling and should sound alarm bells at home and abroad.
