Trump has pardoned billionaire crypto mogul and Binance founder Changpeng Zhao — who pled guilty to money laundering charges.

This comes after Zhao helped boost the Trump family’s crypto business.

It's just the latest example of Trump's Pay-to-Pardon Scheme.

Enten: "Trump is doing absolutely awful in the minds of the American people. We're talking about new lows. CNBC, -13 net approval on the economy. It's -19 among Quinnipiac ... He's not just beating himself with record lows -- this is the lowest for any president ever."

This headline should say that Zhao got a Trump pardon after supporting the Trump family’s crypto businesses.
This is obvious corruption by the convicted felon in the White House.

Sorry, MAGA, America Will Never Be a White Nation

A racist Trump Administration is abusing all of its power to make America white again, but the majority belongs to a multiracial nation that opposes white supremacy and wannabe Kings.

ICYMI — with electricity rates already skyrocketing, Trump just canceled the largest solar project in North America.

Utah’s Republican governor seems to understand this is probably not the best idea: “This is how we lose the AI/energy race with China” 👇🏽

Leadership looks like repeating the truth again and again and refusing to back down to bullies and pressure.

It looks like using your platform and leverage-- whatever it may be -- for the larger good.

So grateful to Pritzker and everyone else modeling this now.
Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

We should mandate a work requirement for House Republicans to get their health care. How about they have to work at least one week a month to keep their government health insurance?

my father (a retired white engineer who has been in oklahoma for 40 years) is my weathervane for what normal people who just watch the news periodically think, and he was like “so, they want to call the guard out on a bunch of kids wearing frog suits? is that true?”, the admin is losing the PR war
WELKER: Are you looking at invoking the Insurrection Act?

For years we warned about this: The “Enabling Act of 1933”, which allowed Hitler to seize control of all branches of the German government, served as the template for “Project 2025” — and Trump’s DNA is all over it.

Rest in peace, Jane Goodall.
You taught us that kindness is a form of strength and that respect for life in all its forms is the truest measure of humanity. You will be dearly missed.

Fox is doing what Fox was created to do, but Fox viewers need to be laughed at and mocked, and informed regularly that no one will attempt to have serious policy discussions with people who watch trash propaganda and allow themselves to be lied to every night.
As the folks at Fox News, a propaganda network, screamed for Matthew Dowd to get fired from MSNBC, no one cared after their co-worker Brian Kilmeade said homeless people should be murdered and offered a half-hearted apology four days later.

Let’s get this straight, once and for all:

Homophobia is not an opinion.
Transphobia is not an opinion.
Xenophobia is not an opinion.
Misogyny is not an opinion.
Racism is not an opinion.

It’s hatred. — Are we all clear on this?

Every day of delayed clean electrons moves $$ to Trump fossil fuel donors. Raising costs for consumers also moves $$ to fossil fuel donors.
Let’s be clear. This will raise costs. 95% of new power on the grid last year was clean energy. It essentially all came in below the grid price. Suppress it, and the grid must bring on even higher-priced units, raising costs for consumers. Trump-flation in action.
