1. Trump is in the process of sending millions in taxpayer money directly to his political allies — and himself.
The money purportedly is to settle legal claims.
But these claims are extraordinarily weak and have little to no chance of success.
In reality, it is a brazen theft.

Medical racism is not a headline, it's a reality.
A Black mother in active labor at Dallas Regional Medical Center was ignored by a nurse for over 30 minutes, and that could've cost her life.
What will happen when healthcare is out reach?

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.
I did it because the government isn’t.
This is what I found.

They told you the real threat was the guy sweating on your roof in July, or the woman wiping your grandma’s chin for 10 bucks an hour. And you bought it.
You waved the flag chanted “USA!” while they took your healthcare, kid’s lunch, destroyed your farms to give billions to billionaires.

FYI — the Peace Prize was awarded to a far-right, Dump-supporting person, it seems. She gave the opening remarks to this band of fascist villains in February of this year.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.
The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism
In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Newsflash: Either Trump breaks it all and everybody dies in a long series of horrendous wars, political chaos, and climate collapse, or we shut this shit down and do the fucking obvious: tax the rich, UBI, universal healthcare, K-16, sensible consumer protections across the board.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST
Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.
Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.
