THAT WILL HAPPEN IN 2029 WHEN THIS NATION IS FINALLY RID OF THE DARK STAIN KNOWN AS TRUMP.

LJ's avatar

We will not truly be free until all of the traitors are gone and dark money is gone.

The regime is learning the hard way: they can buy buildings, spend millions, and issue orders β€” but they can’t buy the American people.

cindee68's avatar

Sadly they are using the people's money to buy the buildings and then also to fight the ensuing lawsuits. Taxation without representation! We defeated a king to stop this in 1776.

Gloria J Parsons's avatar

Rachel Maddow says buildings are being bought with your money at prices millions more than being asked. Where’s the money going ? Into whose pocket ?

LEJ's avatar

It's a giant grift and fleecing US citizens and taxpayers.

Stuyvesant Bearns's avatar

AND, GEE, GUESS WHO IS THE MAN BEHIND IT ALL: GRIGTER IN CHIEF, DJT.

You can be sure a large portion of cash is flowing into the pockets of tRump and his family and inner circle.

Everywhere one looks in this administration one finds fraud, waste, and abuse. We need DOGE to do its thing starting in the Oval Office.

claudia nelson's avatar

DOGE did do its 'thing' - just not the 'thing' it claimed to be doing. In fact, the opposite. Another scam + one of the very biggest, among so very many!

Bernadeen's avatar

Whatever they say, it’s the opposite of true. Or they use antonyms. β€œWe’re winning the war.” β€œI won the election”….like subbing in β€œwinning” for losing is believable.

Ralph T's avatar

DOGE sucks. The people behind DOGE are vile and/or ignorant.

Debi's avatar

All DOGE did was eliminate vast numbers of government employees that protected our health, our veterans, our food, our water, our public lands, our Social Security, our IRS, etc. while DOGE employees stole personal information on lots of Americans for some unknown future use. It has all been one big scam to destroy our functioning government while the GOP destroyers in Felon47's administration are busy stealing every place they can, including insider info to make money in the Market, while they still have control and can do it. DOGE is part of the whole grift/graft/theft game and USELESS as any sort of cure. The GOP congress NEEDS TO start living up to their oath of office and stand up FOR the Constitution and the laws of our country.

HarrisWalz FTW 2024's avatar

Up until now, my guess is that Kristi and "colleague" Corey have been getting a lot of it. It's not hard to imagine that Donald doesn't even know about this particular grift, and someone else is taking a percentage of what's being pocketed to keep him from finding out.

Cheryl Johnson's avatar

Are there any investigative journalists left? Let's dig in on this!

Trump doesn't like it when others cut into his grift! It may be the only way to get him to throw them under the bus!

Bernadeen's avatar

Under the bus, yeah. Send a fleet of buses.

Kayo's avatar

This is the most blatantly corrupt government I've ever seen.

Ordinary people need to ignore the blue/red divisions (which have blinded us to the way we are being financially f'd over) and work together to bring down this billionaire kleptocracy.

Sylvia Arrowood's avatar

Well, they have been able to buy certain people, just not We the People or true Jesus followers.

Debi's avatar

It would be better if you RESPECT the separation of Church and state and leave Jesus out of discussions of government. I personally find it virtually disqualifies any political opinion if religion is used as a qualifier.

Patti Scott's avatar

Seems like the only people he can buy are #trumpsBillionaires

Lily's avatar

well said Sam

Richard Waddell's avatar

I do NOT think they are learning. They are trying hard to work against all sorts of reality, truth, and fact - it seems that if they were able to not die, they would express their outrage at the unalterable law of gravity by jumping from the top of a building, just to prove it doesn't exist...and then deny their failure to do so. They burn money. They act like greedy 'Mister Burns' by wasting piles of money. They make Marie Antoinette look like a considerate person in comparison. Sad is their character's baseline, once you move past all the damage - there is unfathomably deep sadness. Not the 'poor me' variety, but the 'incomplete human' variety, deformed in their hearts. Yet not without hope.

Debi's avatar

I suspect you are giving "them" way too much credit. A friend with a background in psychology told me that tests were done with brain scans of conservative people versus liberal/moderate people. The areas of the brain that respond with empathy, compassion, happiness to certain stimuli were active in liberal/moderate persons and virtually nonreactive in conservative people. Literally, the brain pathways are different and that difference probably plays an active part in whether you are conservative or more liberal. Your comparison to Marie Antoinette is very on point, but I honestly don't believe any of these creatures playing the inner areas of this dirty game are capable of the introspection or personal honesty to get beyond their ugly insanity.

Joanne Steacie's avatar

Yes, Sam and it's inspiring! Brings hope!

TRUMP TO TAKE CONTROL OVER OUR MILITARY IN A β€œMASSIVE COMPLEX” UNDER THE NEW EAST WING BALLROOM

Fox News reported yesterday that Donald Trump, while speaking to members of the media onboard Air Force One on March 29, 2026 while en route to Joint Base Andrews, Maryland from West Palm Beach Florida, revealed that the military is constructing a β€œmassive complex” which is under construction beneath the planned White House ballroom, which he said will feature bulletproof glass and drone-proof protections.

Bringing our country’s most senior miliary officials under Trump’s direct personal control in a massive bunker under Trump’s new East Wing ballroom will send nervous shivers throughout the country.

Donald J. Trump, convicted business swindler, proven sex offender, draft dodger who mocked and maligned wounded and captured American soldiers, inveterate liar and thoroughly morally bankrupt and egotistical blowhard, whose visceral instincts appear to dictate his every thought, action and exclamation, will now be taking personal charge of our country’s military resources.

One must wonder whether there is a formidable ulterior motive in placing all of these military resources and hardware directly under his personal control at his residence, such as whether Trump may be contemplating the need or opportunity to declare marshal law to enhance or extend his rule over the American people.

Given the apparent frailty of Trump’s mental state, which can only continue to diminish as he shortly approaches and exceeeds the age of 80, the construction of this underground β€œmassive complex” annexed to the White House will be of increasing alarm as his mental faculties continue to become more volatile and unpredictable.

This new revelation will no doubt be addressed by the appropriate courts and agencies who are reviewing or will be reviewing the legality and propriety of the use of this land for Trump’s personal aggrandizement, no matter who is funding it.

Lily's avatar

READ THIS AGAIN: One must wonder whether there is a formidable ulterior motive in placing all of these military resources and hardware directly under his personal control at his residence, such as whether Trump may be contemplating the need or opportunity to declare marshal law to enhance or extend his rule over the American people...READ IT AGAIN! That should scare the shit out of every American! Fuck this POS POTUS LOSER. IMPEACH CONVICT AND IMPRISON THIS MOFO before this could possibly happen! He is

saying everything outloud now! Fucking GOP maggots put us here. LET"S SHUT THIS SHIT DOWN!

Suel J's avatar

Jokes on them hiding under there. Thinking those warheads and radiation won't get them? Their death will surely be slow and nasty.

Patti Scott's avatar

The courts take too long! SCOTUS started this mess by giving him immunity!

HarrisWalz FTW 2024's avatar

They didn't start it, but they sure poured kerosene on the country and gave him a box of matches.

Lastima's avatar

😱each day the horror of this monster increases exponentially! Where is the end? Can no one stop him? What kind of β€œdemocracy” allows this? There is something fatally wrong with our system!

Cheryl Johnson's avatar

The GOP members of Congress have ceded all their powers to the Trump. We the People need to do everything possible to create a blue wave in November and in every special election between now and then!

Here are some suggestions to help this effort!

There is a runoff next Tuesday in MTG's House district. The Democratic candidate is Shawn Harris who has a very impressive rΓ©sumΓ© (www.shawnforgeorgia.com/meet-the-candidate/). I have been writing postcards for his campaign, but today is the last mailing date unless you live in GA. But there are plenty of opportunities to phone bank to get out the vote: https://www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/920114/

If you are in GA, you can also canvass: www.mobilize.us/?event_type=1&q=shawn%20Harris

The WI State Supreme Court election is also next Tuesday. I was writing postcards for Judge Chris Taylor, but again the deadline to mail them is likely today. But WisDems is hosting multiple phone banks to help get out the vote: www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/749814/ as is several with Activate America: www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/888272/

Activate America (www.activateamerica.vote) currently has postcard campaigns for:

* April 21st VA Redistricting special election (mail ASAP; no later than April 8)

* May 5th Ohio Primary for newly registered voters (mail as you go; no later than April 20)

* May 19th GA Primary ( (mail as you go; no later than May 10)

Field Team 6 ( https://postcards.fieldteam6.org) has many different postcard campaigns to register new voters. You provide the postcards and the postage for all Activate America and Field Team 6 campaigns.

[Field team 6 also has programs to register voters in person - get trained virtually www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/750876/) or request a voter drive in a box (www.fieldteam6.org/voter-drive-in-a-box)]

Postcards to Swing States (https://turnoutpac.org/postcards/) will mail you postcards for free (you still pay the postage), but the minimum quantity is 100 postcards. These postcards target irregular voters who are likely to vote our way if they vote at all.

This is a good option if you want to write postcards as a group. In 2024, our local Indivisible chapter (in conjunction with our county Democratic party) wrote 100K postcards to get out the vote in NC with Postcards to Swing States. PTSS is gearing up for similar campaigns this year in a bunch of swing states and US House districts. They will start mailing out postcards on May 1st and the written postcards are to be held and mailed in October.

Vote Forward (https://votefwd.org/campaigns) currently has two letter writing campaigns to encourage irregular voters to vote by sharing why YOU vote:

* Political** Campaign for VA Redistricting (Send ASAP by April 14th

* Social** Campaign for PA Primary (send ASAP by May 12th

More Vote Forward campaigns will follow for the general election in November. If you aren't already a current volunteer, check out https://votefwd.org/instructions

**https://help.votefwd.org/article/216-how-are-social-campaigns-and-political-campaigns-targeted

Vote Riders (https://voteriders.org/volunteer/) helps voters get the IDs that they need to vote. There are several ways to volunteer, but the easiest and most flexible are their letter writing campaigns. They are currently active in AZ, FL, GA, NC, OH, PA, TX, and WI.

For both letter-writing campaigns you need to have access to a printer and you need to provide #10 envelopes and first class postage.

Thank you for this news and information for action.

Wow!!! That is an impressive post. Well said. Thank you

I think any rational person knew that's what was going on.

Diane J's avatar

tRump is obviously worried about another American Revolution against tyrants.

Brian's avatar

Unfortunately, he will probably be deceased before he is tried and convicted of his numerous crimes. And he won't see a day in jail. Hopefully, his family and fellow regime members will pay dearly for carrying out all his crimes.

JeriLW's avatar

Unfortunately, if it is already under construction, it's probably unlikely that it will be demolished. It would be an enormous amount of work and resources / materials that would be destroyed and wasted. I read a post on Substack "Drey Dossier" a month or so ago that described it very thoroughly. It's also probably a grift because no bid contracts were awarded without scrutiny by people outside the Trump circle.

Debi's avatar

And now a Federal Judge put an injunction STOPPING ALL BUILDING OF THE BALLROOM and attached whatever for now - pointing out the White House is THE PEOPLES HOUSE and each president is a temporary STEWARD, NOT AN OWNER, and must obtain appropriate approvals before doing anything, including tearing down the east wing WITHOUT any permissions or approvals. Felon47 is NOT HAPPY and we'll have to see if the construction folks are going to listen to the Court or the demented pedophile.

Sylvia Arrowood's avatar

I have emailed Jeremy Zellner, New York state Senator and asked him to push through a tax on the wealthy similar to what Washington state did. I told him just imagine what that money would be able to fund. People need to email their representatives as much as possible. I know Senator Schumer, Senator Gillibrand and Congressman Kennedy all recognize my email address by now.

Cathy R's avatar

I think my Congressman's staff must know my email by now too

Cheryl Johnson's avatar

I mostly call my GOP congress critters (or send ResistBot letters) and I know my info pops in the software that they use to record calls when I am able to reach a staffer live. I still have to provide that info if I am leaving a voice mail.

Robot Bender's avatar

Coward Hawley knows my email address and answers me with self-aggrandizing spam and MAGA talking points. He doesn't bother even addressing the subject of my emails. Same with Burlison.

Bernadeen's avatar

I guess I should feel honored somebody at least matches a response to my letter with the corresponding form letter for that topic. They even filled in my name! Spelled right! This last time anyway. For the first time! Oooh…weeeh!

Before this I always got from Gillibrand the kind of response you described. Are they using β€œAI” to fill in the blanks? Perhaps Senator Hawley could ask Senator Gillibrand how her office manages this…

Sheryl L. Search's avatar

I get a crap letter from Susan Collins on Tuesdays. Lots of pictures of her and bull crap about what she is doing for Mainers. It’s all lies. She is in Trump’s pocket. We will vote her out!

Bernadeen's avatar

Fantastic! Thank you! I’ll ask the same of James Tedisco. Um, what does that mean, Senators Schumer and Gillibrand β€œrecognize” the email address by now? Are you sayin’ they won’t respond and implement my fine suggestions…;) if I write multiple times? In their entire terms I never asked for anything before now. Besides, if they did their jobs I wouldn’t feel compelled to β€œmicromanage”. If I were to offer a weak defense on their behalf it would be this. I imagine the demands of the job they have now, are not the demands of the job they expected, when they last ran for office. That’s all I got.

On ward Delaware!

And I love Kelly got the truth out of the 4 star general...but it still happened! I am relieved that there is a 4 star general telling the truth...but there was a time when Americans were all on the same side! Murder was never on the side of Americans I knew before SCUMp! And the fact that a fake christian supremacist is the Dept of Defense, I blame the fucking CONGRESS for letting that shit go through!

Patti Scott's avatar

Mark Kelly is great!

Sally Carlson's avatar

Why is the general following orders to blow boats?

Joanne Steacie's avatar

Agree, Lily! Republicans in Congress are brain dead traitors to the Constitution, to We the People, to decency and common sense! WTF is their end game when all collapses? They are working for a losing proposition that will eventually swallow them up or crush them. I never understood. Trump lies, he never pays, he never keeps his promises, he is a coward. And yet they back that.

IT'S ABOUT TIME MAJOR NEWS OUTLETS GET THEIR ACTS TOGETHER AND REPORT ON RAL STUFF. SHAME ON THEM!

Great news for my home state of Michigan!

Carol Taylor Boyd's avatar

Colorado is about to experience a serious drought. Our snow pack is at historic lows. Water usage is already being restricted. It's going to get much worse.

Data Centers are really bad for the environment. They use up tremendous amounts of clean drinking water. Because data centers have to use electricity to produce the data. I am relieved that ordinary people are paying attention to these threats to our environment and our survival.

It's scary how the techbros can develope a product without giving a thought to how it could impact the environment or humanity itself.

Joanne Steacie's avatar

So true, Carol. It's scary. And again, I don't understand their end game. If they take and take from the environment, make things so expensive no one can afford to live, can't afford what they are selling, what then? Where are they going to go? Mars? God, they should go now!

Carol Taylor Boyd's avatar

I hope Musk takes a test flight to Mars very soon.

May 1st I hope even more than NO KINGS numbers will boycott EVERYTHING!!! NO work, no school, no shopping etc. Hitting them in the pocketbook - the only thing they understand!

Cheryl Johnson's avatar

⬆️"May 1st I hope even more than NO KINGS numbers will boycott EVERYTHING!!! "

Be sure and spread the word! The earlier attempts at boycotts (for Black Friday through Cyber Monday) were not well enough publicized IMO. It didn't help that there was a narrow targeted boycott (that Indivisible was promoting) and a "Boycott everything" during an overlapping time frame.

There is a "What’s Next After No Kings 3?" zoom call this evening at 8 pm ET/ 5pm PT. I suspect they will be discussing the May 1st action.

Colleen Wetteland's avatar

I agree it needs to be well publized. I'll be putting it at my sub stack often! And telling folks about it. Like I did just today at my dog groomer - she didn't know about it I wish it were for longer than just one day but doing not only shopping, but no work (if folks can) and no school etc. I think will help. Are you familiar with Scott Galloway's site too? https://www.resistandunsubscribe.com/ another way to get to the billionaire class who support ICE/CBP.

Cheryl Johnson's avatar

I will check it out.

Bernadeen's avatar

MAYDAY…It took me hours to get the alternative meaning of the MAYDAY distress call. Until now I associated the first of May with a happy, festive atmosphere. But, I guess we don’t have to relinquish β€œhappy” and β€œfestive” to respond to the distress call.

Tracy Kohlbeck's avatar

Another question for that 4 star general, are these strikes on suspected drug boats legal? I suspect they are not.
