Grift, self-aggrandizement, and self-dealing. Democrats must rise up and make clear that they will never approve this daylight robbery of taxpayer money.

Shawn McCreesh in the New York Times:

Trump just said the United States would pay $10 billion into the Board of Peace, which he created and leads.
He gave no details on where the money would come from or if the administration had even requested it from Congress, which would have to approve the funds.”

A grifting criminal trying to stay out of jail, that is what the presidency of this malignant narcissist and con artist is about... he is like a cancer sucking the life out of the USA and a whole. The only possibility for healing is to remove him.

@gleick he keeps pumping taxpayer money into the economy to prop up his industrial extraction of wealth from the US, more money than during COVID, the recession & the global banking collapse in 2007/8, this will not end well...

If only #Democrats were not neck-deep into this bipartisan grift racket!

None of what is happening in the #UnitedStates would be happening without the #complicity and #connivance of the #DemocraticParty

We had better give the Democrats a solid majority in both houses of Congress so that they can. They can fight holding actions, but to stop it, they need real power.

We need to pay attention to primaries to avoid do nothing, status quo Democrats, though.

Let's get to it!

The long knives are out for Juliana Stratton and Jasmine Crockett. They are using the same 2024 playbook to undermine their support from the left. Both would make great candidates, and fearless Senators.

AIPAC caught on that their brand is poison, so they're hiding their funding.

‘You Should Be Outraged’: Candidates Sound Alarm on Stealth AIPAC Meddling in Illinois | Common Dreams

"They’re using shell organizations to try to crush progressive candidates in secret," said the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. "We can’t let them get away with it."

@gleick The rule of law is currently dead. Or you could argue, "largely dead but still on a semblance of life support".

trump stole over $900 million of designated Pentagon funds to spend on his own private plane. What's another $10 billion here?
