Donald Trump Jr. once mocked Hunter Biden's "no-show no-experience board seats." Now he's on his second newly activated advisory board—and that company just announced $15 million in contracts.

. @crustiandaily.news have you seen that the NY AG has begun a database to track (and one imagines later prosecute) ice criminals?
Perhaps you can share your data with them, and continue maintaining your own dataset, to begin or seed the reconciliation process.

The NY Times continues to be the biggest sucker in the world for bad faith bullshit, just so the publisher can claim they're not too liberal and to pretend they'll somehow convince MAGA they're being fair to them.
Despite appearances, this is not a @nytpitchbot.bsky.social joke, it's an actual @nytimes.com column by some Claremont hack who praises Hegseth for his "nuanced vision of the military’s purpose and its relationship to civilian society."

Serious question: has the Fed govt ever arrested so many elected officials in such a short period of time, across multiple cities, and not for legit corruption reasons?
This seems like a distinct degree of anti-democratic escalation.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

I'm firmly of the belief that attacking Trump tangentially can be more effective right now than attacking Trump directly. So it's worth nothing that JD's true lord and master, Peter Thiel, is deeply implicated in Epstein's corruption.

Just going to reiterate that in 2016 Trump inherited the lowest murder rate of any president in 50 years. He set reality aside, gave his “American Carnage” inaugural address, and was then the first president in 30 years to leave office with a higher murder rate than when he started.
...Voters really, really care about controlling immigration and crime. They just do. And if voters don’t think Democrats will take those issues seriously, they elect a garbage human like Trump who will seize the opportunity to expand his own power.
