I’d rather forfeit the entire season than have my team play a single game in Trump Stadium.
Sources: Trump wants D.C. stadium named for him

The NFL also held a moment of silence for this guy last night. 😳
Big sigh. Watch this.
Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting?
No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

History doesn’t always repeat, but it often rhymes.
🚨Adolf Hitler rose from political outcast to absolute ruler by exploiting fear, division, and public despair. As democratic institutions bowed to his will, freedom vanished. His rise is more than history—it’s a warning of how tyranny takes hold in plain sight.

Signalgate should have been a bigger story… 🤦♂️
The US Administration is now deleting its internal communications, in brazen violation of the Federal Records Act, in order to conceal its other illegal acts.
Those entrusted to enforce our Congress’s laws sit, simply watching this happen, flaccid and impotent.

Yet another example of how the rules simply don’t apply to the Orange felon, and that there will never be any consequences.
Since I administered the WH emoluments rules, let me explain why this is forbidden
Trump expressed interest in it before it was offered
He is going to use & benefit from it a while in office
And he's going to keep using it after he leaves!
Functionally, it's a gift to him & so it's illegal

Overseeing the presidential gift rules was among my duties as White House Ethics Czar -- so I know how it's supposed to work
The gift of this plane to Trump is illegal & unconstitutional
The AG & the WH Counsel oughtta be ashamed of themselves for allowing it

Textbook market manipulation with no consequences, as usual.
Trump tells his followers to buy stock in the morning, minutes after the market opens, then announces he is pausing tariffs 4 hours later.
Nothing to see here.
