Our database paints a detailed financial picture for President Donald Trump and hundreds of his political appointees, some of whom have ties to the industries they regulate.
The disclosures include their recent employers, assets and debts.
This view shows puffing dust bubbles and an erupting gas shell — the final acts of a monster star. It is about the star AG Carinae. The image showcases the details of the ionised hydrogen and ionised nitrogen emissions from the nebula (seen here in red). The blue demonstrates the contrasting appearance of the distribution of the dust that shines of reflected stellar light. Astronomers believe that the dust bubbles and filaments formed within and were shaped by powerful stellar wind . The star is surrounded by an expanding shell of gas and dust — a nebula — that is shaped by the powerful winds emanating from the star. The nebula is about five light-years wide, equal to the distance from here to our nearest star, Alpha Centauri.

The same day WaPo reports that Russia has provided Iran with intelligence on locations of US ships, aircraft, personnel and assets in the Middle East, Trump’s Treasury Secretary announces the administration is removing Russian oil sanctions.
Pete Hegseth claims Donald Trump has renamed the map of North America.
Prior to the Ukraine invasion, Putin used the same tactics. He claimed that Ukraine was not an independent nation - just part of greater Russia.
Fuck your greater America Trump. You are a criminal.
🚨NEW: After Trump fired Kristi Noem, Governor Gavin Newsom is formally calling on the Trump administration to redirect the remaining funds from Noem’s $220 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign to LA fire survivors.
Sure we may have the mightiest military in the world, but there’s something to be said for leaving something to the imagination. Our enemies are watching and taking notes. If we deplete our stockpiles in a war of choice, what happens if we really are attacked? 🫤

Tragedy and farce, at the same time.
Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"
“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible—and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

Hegseth keeps saying we are untouchable and invincible and we have total dominance so I don’t know how this could happen.
There are no Trump signs or flags left in the cities we frequent. The maggots who flew them are now flying standard American flags. Two thoughts:
1. Good riddance.
2. Oh, now you want to pretend you’re true American patriots? Step up and help us stop the mad king you put in the White House.

This is one example of the human cost of our misbegotten deportation program: they grabbing Dreamers as well--who are vetted with criminal background checks. I especially resent ICE grabbing ppl at their green card hearings. These are the ones attempting to follow the legal way to be here.
Bessent says the Trump admin may now lift sanctions on even more Russian oil to try and reduce oil prices during Trump’s war. This would provide a massive injection of cash to fund Putin’s war machine.

Delivering the Democratic response to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address, Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger said Trump’s tariffs cost each American family more than $1,700. Research mostly backs her figure.

REPORT: Trump has privately expressed serious interest in deploying U.S. ground troops inside Iran, according to multiple officials.
Sources say he’s discussed sending a small contingent of troops for targeted operations. The White House denies any decision has been made. (NBC News)
My statement on deported Hayward family.
White House spox Karoline Leavitt to Fox: “I would remind people X is not real life. Trump lives in the real world.
“There is nothing more America First than taking out terrorists who have maimed and killed our servicemen and women.”
What, again? Wandering aimlessly is a common and serious symptom of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.
