Trump just turned the presidency into a pay-to-play crypto scam. His memecoin offers White House access to the highest bidders—some tied to foreign exchanges. This isn’t a joke. It’s the most brazen self-enrichment scheme in U.S. history. Full Article: www.facebook.com/share/p/16Qy...

Judge Beryl Howell just issued a 101-page rebuke of Trump’s assault on the legal system—and named the law firms that bowed. This isn’t just about lawyers. It’s about democracy. When the law fears power, justice dies. #RuleOfLaw Full Article: www.facebook.com/share/p/1FvZ...

4/ British kings used taxation to reward loyalty and punish dissent.
Our own revolution was spurred by the King’s use of heavy taxation of the colonies to punish our push for self governance.
The King’s message was simple: stop protesting and I’ll stop taxing.

3/ You see, our founders created a President with limited and checked powers. They specifically put the power of spending and taxation in the hands of the legislature.
Why? Because they watched how kings and despots used spending and taxes to control their subjects.

2/ This week you will read many confused economists and political pundits who won’t understand how the tariffs make economic sense.
That’s because they don’t. They aren’t designed as economic policy. The tariffs are simply a new, super dangerous political tool.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

The guy who asked Zelensky if he owned a suit, Brian Glenn, is a reporter for the pro-Trump media network Real America’s Voice and also Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend. He got one of the rare Oval Office interviewer spots only after the White House blocked the Associated Press.

Can you fckng believe this question? Did he ask Elon Musk the same?
This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.
GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.
ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.

The very definition of irony: two silver spoon billionaires telling you it’s going to have to get worse before it gets better (only for themselves). Meanwhile both of their net worth has increased - of which historically built from huge government grant. No worries, they’ll be lowering prices soon🙄
