This conversation is playing out in homes across the nation.

Everyone needs to be aware of this. Republican bills always try to hide the worst effects until AFTER you vote. You need to read the bill to find out how much it affects you.

They just rescued 163 kidnapped kids in underground cages with duct tape over their mouths from a human trafficking ring in Florida and it hasn’t been on the news once because it’s 3 white maga Christian dudes that ran it. Take all the time you need with that one

Oak View Group donated $250,000 to Trump’s inaugural committee in January 2025. Six months later, Trump’s own DOJ indicted the company’s CEO, Timothy Leiweke, for rigging a bidding process on a University of Texas arena contract — a charge carrying up to 10 years in prison and a $1 million fine. So Leiweke hired Trey Gowdy, the former congressman turned Fox host, to lobby for him. Gowdy played golf with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, and after 18 holes, Trump asked if there was anything he could do for him. Three weeks later: full pardon. No trial. No explanation. Not a bad turnout for $250,000 — a quarter of what he was facing in fines alone, and it bought him out of a decade of prison exposure entirely. Here’s another part that should make people mad: days after the pardon, Leiweke was deposed in a completely separate DOJ antitrust case — against Live Nation/Ticketmaster — where his testimony was considered central evidence. Freed from criminal exposure by his new pardon, he pleaded the Fifth and refused to answer, gutting his own government’s case against Ticketmaster. That DOJ case? It ended in a soft settlement with no real teeth — DOJ folded not long after Leiweke went silent. Live Nation still lost, but only because 33 states refused the DOJ’s deal and won the case they gave up on. A quarter-million-dollar donation didn’t just erase one guy’s crime. It torpedoed an entirely different federal case against a company everyone already hates.

@DWPscumbags @askDinaDoll @MeidasTouch It’s not my attachment. It’s been there for 400 years. What hubris one man has that he thinks he has the power to change the name of a lake, an ocean, or the Kennedy center. The guy is sick, sick, sick.

@usedtobecivil @askDinaDoll @MeidasTouch Just checked. Google Maps did make the change. Mfkrs

If I were president and I wanted to tank the dollar and get rich off it, here is exactly what I would do. I would hire a Treasury Secretary who already made $3.5 billion crashing another country's currency. I would put my guy in charge of the agency that approves bank charters. I would install a crypto czar with $200M in crypto holdings and give him an ethics waiver so nobody could challenge it. Then I would sign an executive order banning the government from ever creating a digital dollar so there was no competition. Then I would have my family launch their own private digital dollar. My family takes 75% of net profits. I would grow it to $4.6 billion in circulation and route a $2 billion Abu Dhabi sovereign fund deal through it to prove it works. Then I would get Congress to pass a law requiring every stablecoin in the country to hold short-term Treasury bills. Now every dollar of my digital currency is a forced buyer of government debt. Brookings projects $2.3 trillion in captive demand by 2030. Then I would have my OCC guy grant my family's company a federal bank charter. Now I can issue my digital dollar with federal authority. Then I would have my Treasury Secretary weaken the actual dollar. Bond buybacks that suppress yields but tank the currency. Build a $950 billion war chest for more. Let the debt hit $40 trillion. Dollar index drops to 99. Gold goes to highest point ever. Then I would kill the Corporate Transparency Act and delete the FinCEN beneficial ownership database. That was the one law that required every shell company in America to report who actually owns it. Without it, nobody can trace who is buying my stablecoin, who is routing money through it, or where the profits land. Then I would let the loop run. Weaker dollar drives demand for "stable" digital alternatives. The law I passed forces those alternatives to buy T-bills. That funds the government's debt. My family takes profit on every transaction. Foreign central banks walking away from Treasuries get replaced by legally mandated stablecoin reserves my family controls. Then I would use sanctions to start cutting countries off from the dollar system entirely. And when those countries need a new way to transact in dollars, the only federally chartered private digital dollar in existence is mine. They can buy it through shell companies nobody can trace because I deleted the ownership database. I just built a toll booth on the global financial system. I take a cut every time someone uses the dollar. And I made it so nobody can see who is paying. And every single step I just described has already happened. So what does that mean for you and I? The reason the United States can borrow at low rates and keep your mortgage and your car payment and your import prices stable is because foreign central banks hold trillions in dollar reserves. That system has always been public. The benefit went to everyone. Lower borrowing costs, cheaper goods , and the single biggest economic advantage any country has ever had. What I just described is the privatization of that function. The entity buying the debt is no longer a central bank acting in the public interest. It is a private company taking 75% of net profits for one family. The reserve function used to generate a public benefit. Now it generates a private fee. Your purchasing power shrinks every time the dollar weakens. Your 401k buys less in real terms. Everything you import costs more. And every time the dollar drops, demand for the private digital alternative goes up. The one the president's family owns. The one that by law must buy government debt. You absorb the cost of a weakening dollar. His family collects the profit. That is the trade. The enforcement mechanism to stop a sitting president from doing this? There isn't one. Former White House ethics lawyer Richard Painter says it would be a violation for literally any other federal employee, but not the president. Nobody voted for this. No one was asked. There was no debate. There is no enforcement mechanism. There is no one investigating it. The Senate tried and it was blocked. This is the largest conflict of interest in American history happening in broad daylight while everyone argues about something else. So what do you do? Share this. Make it impossible to ignore. Send it to your representative, your senator, every journalist you follow. We make them answer for it. Because the only thing protecting this scheme right now is the fact that not enough people understand it yet.

My favorite clip of Dolly.

Country music legend Dolly Parton died today at the age of 80. My favorite story about her: Parton wrote the songs “I Will Always Love You” and “Jolene” on the same night. When the first song was at the top of the charts in 1974, Elvis wanted to record his own version of the song. Dolly was interested until Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis’ manager, said that it was standard procedure that when the king of rock and roll covered a song - half of the rights to that song would go to him in the future. She refused it. “I said, ‘I’m really, really sorry’ and cried all night. It was terrible for me, on the one hand, it’s Elvis. People told me: “You are crazy.” It’s Elvis Presley…’ but I just couldn’t do it. Something told me in my heart not to do it and I didn’t. I know he would rock with that song. But I couldn’t. And then Whitney Houston came along with her version and I made enough money from the rights to buy Dollywood.” She grew up in severe poverty and no one famous has done more for the education of the poor than her. In 1990, the percentage of students who did not graduate from high school in her hometown was over 30%. She introduced the “Buddy Program”, where all high school graduates received a nice sum when they graduated. It wasn’t just a waste of money, she personally came and explained the concept to them - everyone should find a buddy, and whoever doesn’t succeed she will find one for them. Everyone had to sign that they will graduate and do everything in their power to ensure that their buddy also graduates. She taught young people about friendship and helping. The number of school dropouts dropped to below 6% and has remained so until today. When 900 families lost their homes in the 2016 fires, she paid each family $1,000 for the next five months. When she came to the bank to finish the paperwork, she gave each family another $5,000 to find. A total of nine million dollars. Also, her work - Imagination Library from 1995, was inspired by her realization that young people in rural areas and poor families already fall behind when they start school and that this prevents them from pursuing higher education. The goal of her program was for every child in her district to receive one book, once a month, from birth to school, completely free of charge, without any conditions. It started as an initiative in her hometown and has spread to a huge number of countries around the world. By 2018, over 100 million books were distributed in this way. She is also known for her witty statements, at the beginning of her career she said: “I’m not offended by jokes about stupid blondes because I know I’m not stupid… and I’m not really blonde either.”

@____Jaws____ @VerminusM Super bot. STFU

Weird how Trump knew nothing about Project 2025 but somehow has implemented almost 85% of it.

It’s written in plain text: Project 2025 called for the killing of wild horses to make money off our public lands. Now, they’re doing it. Protecting animal welfare shouldn’t be partisan.

Mark Rufallo is joined by his Marvel friends Benedict Cumberbatch, Cate Blanchett, Don Cheadle, and many more in a petition to free none other than Marwan Barghouti, former head of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades. The signatures keep coming: Ian McKellen, Tilda Swinton, Sting, Annie Lennox, Richard Branson, Margaret Atwood, Javier Bardem, Gary Lineker. None of them mention what he was convicted of. I do, in the video. I’ve spent years calling out Ben Gvir and Smotrich for their hateful rhetoric. I don’t give my own side a discount, so I’m not giving one to a man convicted of five murders, including one at a bat mitzvah. “But he’s the only alternative to Hamas”— a movement offering a choice between a mass murderer and a murderer of five is telling you something. So is every celebrity who signed without reading the verdict.

@tillie_thunders @SundaeDivine Bot

I can't believe Ossoff would cross the line to say something as vulgar as 'travels with Natalie' instead of something more appropriate like "grab them by the pussy"

PLEASE HELP MAKE THIS YOUNG MAN FAMOUS Yotam Budnik is a 12th-grade student from Rehovot 🇮🇱 just won a gold medal at the International Olympiad in Informatics in Uzbekistan but was not allowed to compete under the Israeli flag. When Yotam was awarded his medal 🏅 stepped onto the podium, pulled an Israeli flag out of his pocket and wore it in defiance of the Anti-Semitic discrimination. While the medal 🏅 was revoked from him for his courage, he has no regrets "The law that prevents me from waving the flag is based only on politics, and I thought there was no place for that in a scientific competition", he said. The organizers demanded that he return his medal. Yotam said no. Organizers took away his certificate and removed his ranking from the website. Please help make sure the world knows the name Yotam Budnik and that he is not only a world class computer science genius, but also a man of courage and pride of the Jewish people 💙

@ImplodingMedia @piersmorgan Another ignorant fool

“Commemorate Pakistan’s Independence Day?” If you don’t like what happened in Israel in 1948, just wait until I tell you the details of what happened in India in 1947. Around 14 million people were displaced. Muslims fled India. Hindus and Sikhs fled Pakistan. About a million were killed in the massacres, and women were raped and abducted. What country shows the dangers of Islamism to its own citizens more clearly than Pakistan? India became a global superpower. Pakistan progressively Islamized its laws, persecuted religious minorities, empowered jihadist movements and somehow allowed Osama bin Laden to live for years beside its premier military academy. Mamdani treats the creation of Israel as a historic crime and the creation of Pakistan as something to commemorate? His Jew hatred shows in the double standard.

I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that Hamas filmed themselves murdering, looting, and kidnapping women, children, men and elderly people over the age of 80 from their homes, while openly celebrating the violence online, and yet so much of the world was somehow shocked when Israel fought back.
