Someone please tell me: If #Trump was a Russian asset, what is one thing he would do differently?

The kompromat must be bad

#Trump Signs #ExecutiveOrder Exempting #Russia From #Sanctions #Legislation

The sanctions were part of legislation that was named after Senator #LindseyGraham, the South Carolina Republican who died in July.

Such betrayal. Treasonous.

Today I dropped off my ballot at my county's dropbox -- something I've never done, but this year I don't trust #USPS. While I was there, a steady stream of people dropped off ballots. #Elections

#Meta seems to get worse every day.

It's hilarious that #KatieZacharia didn't even last 1 Scaramucci as #WhiteHouse press secretary. 🤣 https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/live-blog/trump-georgia-rally-senate-2026-midterm-congress-iran-live-updates-rcna603802

NEW: Several of the DCCC's top bundlers are now working as Flock lobbyists, as some Democrats move to ban federal use of the company's license plate cameras.

The DCCC did not respond to questions from Sludge about whether it was concerned that some of its largest bundlers are lobbying for Flock.

Community bankers are suing the OCC over its spree of national trust bank charters, at least 13 of 21 of which went to crypto firms (including Trump’s World Liberty). They argue it’s a side door for crypto firms to get the perks of a bank charter without the rules.

Trump announced yet another $​TRUMP memecoin gala, plus a Super Bowl suite for top holders. The fine print notes the events don’t mean his companies aren’t dumping the token, which is down 95%, at the same time.

#Tesla now down over 3% with just over an hour of trading left. Could investors finally be figuring out that #ElonMusk is a scam artist?

"a lot of these #medical societies, be it the American Medical Association, or hers, the IDSA [Infectious Diseases Society of America], are becoming less shy about speaking out against the nonsense and garbage coming out of the federal government."

Oops. The price of #oil just lurched upward again. https://oilprice.com/

Well, #Tesla did a flashy, gimmicky reveal of its "roadster" yesterday and so far the stock is down over one percent. 😆
