I think this is what lobbyists are charging clients to get their cases in front of Trump. Grotesque yes. But not exactly the same as him getting paid.

Don’t worry @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social. Despite the performative bootlicking, the name is statutory and can only be changed by Congress. But you’re right. Trump is the definition of lowbrow, coarse and classless.
In all fairness, a number of right wing trolls have been very decent in their comments. The same, however, cannot be said for Donald Trump. Shock, huh?
This is getting far too little attention. It’s also incredibly disturbing. A celebrity-backed letter shows antisemitism entering the mainstream
Frightening silence in the face of @shannonsharpe84.bsky.social and @ochocinco.bsky.social anti-Semitic rant on Sharpe’s pod. Are we just going to let such bile slide now??
@randallfried gets it just right. What happened at the synagogue in LA, just like the Park Ave synagogue in NY, was a sickening display of hate and anti semitism. Call it what it was. Recognize the disgrace. www.instagram.com/reel/DR25ro7...
I’m sitting here tonight thinking about a defense secretary who made his name as an advocate for convicted war criminals threatening to prosecute a distinguished veteran for simply stating what every servicemember is taught from Day 1. Hegseth is the last guy in the world qualified to judge anyone.
@mollyjongfast.bsky.social sadly, the list of reasons is getting awfully long. But at least we now know for certain that @robertfkennedy.bsky.social @hhsofficial.bsky.social Secretary perjured himself in his confirmation hearings. Hope he has a good lawyer.
@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social if you want to claim any degree of moral leadership, you must stand up and be loudly and clearly counted among those appalled by this ignorant and vile display of hate.

The pathetic excuses for “activists” who did this in front of the Park Ave Synagogue represent a unique combination of ignorance, racism and barbarism.

@stevenbeschloss.bsky.social you gotta give the desk guy credit. Qatar invests millions in Trump’s fan biz; gives Trump a plane; agrees to push Hamas into a ceasefire. And he gives them unprecedented treatment with a base in Idaho. Nothing to see here.
You can start with the church that our esteemed Secretary of Defense attends.
Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.
Trump wants to get rid of mail-in ballots so he can intimidate voters with federal troops stationed at the polling stations.
Hard to scare people who can just quietly mail in their votes.
Protect mail-in voting at all cost.
Right down our block. But hey, Capitol Hill only has about 8 police forces so sure…send a JLTV. This whole exercise is a disgrace.
Jesse Watters did not believe the election fraud claims but still texted his colleague Greg Gutfeld to say he thought Fox would get “incredible” ratings if they “went ALL in on STOP THE STEAL.”
Who cares about democracy if you can get ratings?

No reason to harass the Guard. But really. @AGPamBondi and @realDonaldTrump ceded all moral authority on such matters when they freed those who violently attacked police on Jan 6. Their hypocrisy couldn’t be more obvious.
Fired DOJ employee could face prison for throwing sandwich at officer
WTF National Education Assn?? Please tell us this is all a big mistake; that’s it’s not the moral and intellectual disgrace it appears to be.

Looks like the Commander in Cheat is at it again. Rick Reilly had his number years ago.

When it comes to the airline industry, Sean Duffy and Pete Buttigieg are very much not the same kind of transportation secretary.
“I was a tough regulator. […] My replacement is an airline lobbyist.”
Without federal funding, public media — and the truth-telling, community-connecting role it plays — is at risk.

Trump knew he was in the Epstein files, per new Wall Street Journal reporting
That makes our FOIA requests even more urgent
The American people deserve the truth—not a government willing to refashion our democracy to shield one man from accountability
No more coverups!
Kristi Noem lied about this multiple times in press conferences & TV appearances. This confirms the 3 day delay was solely caused by her. It’s an absurdity that the person who leaves govt is this man & not her stupid, incompetent cosplaying ass traveling with her (alleged) lover.
From @GeorgeWill a leading conservative voice…a thoughtful and frightening assessment of @realDonaldTrump 2.0. The damage he is doing is incalculable.
How Trump dominates and corrupts the private sector
@matthewjdowd.bsky.social precisely. Stephen Miller himself comes from a family of immigrants. It’s little wonder most of them have disowned him.
That’s what happens when your foreign policy is a combination of FOMO and “I don’t have a clue.”
It is more than fair to debate the wisdom of the strikes on Iran. But the media needs to stop saying we’ve “joined Israel’s fight w/Iran.” Iran has been waging war on the US, via proxies like Hezbollah and the Houthis, for years. This may be a new front. But it’s not an entirely new battle.
