“For accepting the [100s of 1000s of] deportations, Maduro is likely to ask US to drop a fed indictment against him on charges of drug trafficking, as well as $25 mil reward offered for info leading to his capture…

“Maduro’s goal was to leverage his country’s acceptance of the Venezuelan deportees for the partial or complete lifting of U.S. sanctions against Venezuela’s state-owned oil-company, Petróleos de Venezuela, PDVSA.” #Venezuela #Trump

Trump's killing people to further a personal vendetta.

Because Zelenskyy wouldn't help him win the 2020 election.

Even #trump knows how badly he messed up.

He had a press conference, answered ONE QUESTION then buckled under the pressure of the questions being asked, all of them bad, and ran away.

Then he flew to Maro Lago and is GOLFING after destroying our #stockmarket after saying EVERYTHING'S FINE!

Reminds me of the meme of the dog in the burning house saying the same. Except it's real, the house is the #usa and it isn't funny.

How DOGE’s Cuts to the IRS Threaten to Cost More Than DOGE Will Ever Save
—

The Trump administration claims gutting federal agencies will save money, but cutting the IRS means the government collects less taxes. “If you’re interested in the deficit and curbing it, why would you cut back on the revenue side?” one expert asks.

Trump’s Jan. 6 pardons immediately upended the biggest single prosecution in U.S. history and signaled a broader reversal that threatens to create a more permissive climate in which extremists could regroup and weaken the FBI’s independence.

I REALLLYY like the Send the President a Postcard movement, because:
a) I love postcards
b) I like imagining all the giggles every postal worker, etc will get seeing it
c) Everyone can do it

Please tell me you'll join in and send a postcard, or 2?

I created this graphic tonight to share - it's the idea from @BrianJopek

The Trump ally and DOGE chief is expected to turn his budget-slashing sights on the FAA’s little-known commercial spaceflight office, which has proposed fines and grounded SpaceX after explosions and other incidents.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the Department of Justice to pause enforcing a nearly half-century-old law that prohibits U.S. companies and foreign firms from bribing officials of foreign governments to obtain or retain business.

Trump is a disaster. No question about that. But our troubles did not begin with him.

Corporate Democrats are just as eager to sell us out and destroy everything for the sake of Business As Usual, Wall Street, and Big Oil.

Listen to the clip below from an interview Barack Obama gave last year.

He says climate change might be a problem, but we can handle it. Although there's no way now to keep global warming below 2°C, that shouldn’t be so bad. And if we work hard, we might be able to stay at around 3°C … but the important thing is, stop worrying! Don't complain about the system. Everything is under control.

This is absolutely criminal. That much extra heat will destroy modern civilization. Billions of people will die, along with millions of species of plants and animals going extinct. The world as we know it will end.

There still *could* be a way to prevent all that. But it requires system change. The end of capitalism. It requires #Degrowth.

And no one in a position of power wants to hear that.

#Trump fires #USAID #IG one day after blistering report

The WH fired the independent inspector general for the US Agency for International Development on Tues evening, a day after his office issued a blistering report assessing the impact of the Trump admin’s efforts to significantly curtail the agency’s mission.

BREAKING:

Jobs report shows a MAJOR SLOWDOWN in labor market since Trump announced tariffs in April.

We can now compare the first 6 months of Trump with the final 6 months of Biden, and it's no comparison.

Over a million jobs created under Biden, less than half that under Trump.

How does this protect your immigrant neighbors who are being raided by ICE? Does this rally help a transgender person maintain access to their gender-affirming medications?
