And there are tons of other operatives creeping around behind the scenes. "Silent" Suzie Wiles gives me the creeps. I bet she has her fingers in all kinds of pies.

They're pushing protestors and community members toward violence ON PURPOSE. That'll give Trump justification for martial law.

That's all Trump has bothered to learn about her. He's such a pig.

Trump praises Georgia Meloni for her beauty, complains about Norway, and shouts out to the FIFA head, who's on the stage with world leaders for some reason. Very presidential.

There's no legitimate reason to use this metric. It's not an industry thing or even a marketing thing. It's just Trump's minions trying to make these discounts look spectacular.

Dexter the Dog @confabulations.bsky.social · 8d

Using this #TrumpMath, the price for the COPD #astrazeneca drug is much lower than it was, but the actual discount is 87% of the original price. The 96% on this poster, for #asthma medication is really only 49% off the original.

This is a poster from his #AstraZeneca deal announcement. Take a look at the language "discount AS % OF FINAL PRICE." That's the key part. Taking the 654% discount as an example, it means the discount is 654% of the FINAL PRICE, or 6.54 times the FINAL PRICE.

We've all heard Trump say he's bringing #drugprices down more than 100%. Needless to say, there's creative accounting involved, all meant to make the discounts sound more dramatic than they really are. Here's an explainer based on his #AstraZeneca presser today.

He's the most dangerous person in the administration. You can smell the formaldehyde and vinegar oozing from his skin, even in this short video. Trump is a hand puppet; Miller and Suzie Wiles are the hands.

It's the disappearing part that concerns me.

And you're still in Canada when you go through preclearance, so you can turn around if you need to. Once you're in the States, you're trapped.

She did look genuinely happy when it was just her and Catherine. I think she genuinely likes children.

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents.

But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.
