Pretty remarkable that Trump has installed someone on the Saudi dole — Jared Kushner collects millions in fees from the Saudis every year — in a key role for America's most sensitive and consequential foreign policy negotiations (Gaza, Ukraine), and it is largely TREATED AS A NON-STORY

$40B of your money to this guy, so he can dance at CPAC at Mar-a-Lago while Americans wait for their paychecks, hoping the money actually comes.

9 months back in power, and every branch of government now merged into one corrupt man. The House, the Senate, the Supreme Court, all nothing but autopens for a crook who’s doubled his fortune while Americans starve.

Democrats miscalculate by choosing health care as their hill to die on.
The shutdown should instead be framed as a refusal to be complicit in unchecked presidential power.
That's what's about to kick into hyperdrive, which would then drive home that messaging.

When people I know express deep admiration for someone who has publicly and repeatedly said truly awful things, I wonder if they've never heard those things, or simply agree with those things.

The Trump Administration Is Using Memes to Turn Mass Deportation Into One Big Joke
Memes shared by the White House, DHS, and ICE have used catchy TikTok tunes to normalize mass deportation and Christian nationalist narratives. Experts say that’s the point.

By disregarding his own intelligence advisors that Iran was *not* about to have nuclear weapons, Donald Trump has, without any justification whatsoever, provoked Iran to retaliate against American troops in the Middle East and American civilians at home. He is a irresponsible, simpleminded idiot.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

2 of 53 Republican senators spent the day mocking the assassination if a Democratic lawmaker from Minnesota. They will face no accountability from Corporate Media or Republicans because no one holds Republican lawmakers accountable for anything, they are assumed to have no agency for their actions.

Minnesota Senator @tinasmithmn (D) pulled Utah’s @senmikelee out of a Republican meeting and confronted him for his ugly tweets blaming Democrats for the shootings of Dems in Minnesota — by a man friends say was a staunch conservative.
