$156,000 in "unitemized credit card charges"
This was in addition to putting his lover AND his fiancé's daughter on the campaign payroll
He's going to be an Inspector General?
He does know fraud, but is that a great reference?

The Trump Administration is detaining U.S. citizens for days without due process or a phone call, only to release them without charges.

No, but it stopped thousands of others.
These arguments by the right are counterfactual and made in bad faith.

The government is using face-scanning apps to check if random people on the street are citizens.

And they say you cannot refuse.

This week on Reveal, @404media.co shows us how the US deploys its tech against its people.

Trump filed a $5B lawsuit against the BBC for airing his own Jan 6 speech in a documentary. Not doctored footage his actual words before the Capitol attack. This is a dictator's playbook: weaponize courts to silence press coverage of your crimes. Absolutely deranged.

They are so bad
Kind of darkly funny that the government's defense of the well thought out plan for Trump's bigly beautiful ballroom looks like this

They even ate the cake
A cast of Trump’s lesser-known political appointees and DOGE operatives cut programs in ways that guaranteed widespread harm and death in some of the world’s most desperate situations.

From our friends at @propublica.org:
Trump officials celebrated with cake after slashing aid. Then people died of cholera.
ProPublica uncovered that after USAID funding cuts, cases of cholera in South Sudan spiked.

Go Denver
💥 BOOM 🖕🧊✈️

“When we’re talking about the values of our city, and we stand up here and we say time after time that we support our immigrant community and that we are a welcoming city — I cannot support a corporation that does not prescribe to that,” Council member Serena Gonzales-Gutierrez said.
Denver City Council voted against a resolution Monday that would have allowed Key Lime Air to lease ground space at Denver International Airport over concerns about the airline’s immigration enforcement flights in recent months.

Rob Reiner and his wife deserve our prayers, our pain, our reflection.

The fact that there is a monster in the White House must not deprive us of our moments of reflection and love for the Reiner family.

This moment is about them.
