BREAKING: Donald Trump just betrayed every fan who’s been exploited by Ticketmaster.

This fine is less than 1% of Live Nation’s revenue last year AND lets them continue to rip off fans with a 15% “Ticketmaster Tax." It's wrong.

We need to break up Ticketmaster and Live Nation.

In less than 1 week, Trump has wasted more than $5 BILLION of your taxpayer dollars on his war of choice on Iran.

That money could have covered the cost of SNAP for more than 2 million Americans for a year.

There's always money for war and never money for human needs.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

EXCLUSIVE: The Secret War Between Jared Kushner and Jeffrey Epstein Led to Epstein’s Death—and the Second Iran War The key to unlocking the Trump-Epstein Scandal’s secrets—including, now, the Second Iran War—is to understand the Scandal as a proxy war between two men set on gaining control of U.S. foreign policy.

(🚨) EXCLUSIVE: The Secret War Between Jared Kushner and Jeffrey Epstein Led to Epstein’s Death—and the Second Iran War

This book-length work acts as Book 4 of the 1200-pg. epic PROOF OF DEVILRY—a Proof Series entry that’s the most expansive journalistic enterprise related to Epstein ever published.

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

This is some dark, sick shit. Our kids deserve a better country than this. We all deserve a better world than this. We have no choice but to defund and dismantle DHS and ICE, and prosecute every ghoul who brought us to this terrible place.

I don’t want to hear complaining about the tan suit incident from the left anymore. To continue to ruminate on right-wing hypocrisy is to cling to hope that the right has a conscience to awaken. It’s a coup, they are tyrants, the tan suit incident is irrelevant now.

She panicked as her prepared talking points died and so she tried to use a cheap applause line. No one applauded. The era of Elisabeth Hasselbeck types is over. They won the government and made everything worse.

But this isn’t just a regular account. Johnny MAGA appears to actually be a White House staffer named Garrett Wade who works for the Trump administration as a rapid response manager, helping to run the very same White House account his anonymous MAGA account amplifies. A phone number associated with Wade is linked to Johnny MAGA, according to a WIRED review of publicly available records, and the connection was confirmed by a source close to the White House.
Wade and the White House did not respond to requests for comment.

Wade and the White House did not respond to requests for comment.

The Johnny MAGA account was created in September 2021, according to its X profile. (It originally used a different handle, which referenced Wade’s birth year, according to records reviewed by WIRED.) While the account’s earliest available posts focused on NFTs, it has been a consistent pro-Trump presence since at least 2022.
The operator of the Johnny MAGA account has not disclosed an official relationship with the White House while operating the Johnny MAGA X account. Multiple media outlets, including Mother Jones, TownHall, and the New York Post, have all linked out to posts on the Johnny MAGA account seemingly as organic reflections of public sentiment on political issues.

This is very good reporting that sheds light on just how small the extremely pro-Trump online right really is. The online right is totally astroturfed. The White House's own staffers are running meme accounts to make them look more popular than they are. www.wired.com/story/a-whit...

SOTU taking on some ominous lynch mob vibes as the almost entirely white and overwhelmingly male Republicans in the chamber stand and jeer at their Democratic colleagues while their angry, screaming leader eggs them on.

The DoD now has more money than it knows what to do with.

Imagine if we spent that money on healthcare or housing instead.
