My personal opinions and satire as a private citizen. Cis-man, ally, pro-science, humanist. 🇺🇸 💙 All blue and not an oligarch. 🚨 Support and defend the Constitution, NOT these corrupt, clowns. HELL NO to dictators, emperors, kings, and fascists! 📎

I honor, respect, support, and defend it, but why won’t THEY? (⬅️ Q) The US Constitution is more than just a document! It’s not perfect, but it’s infinitely better than all the rogue evils this regime has brought upon ‘We The People’ and the rest of the world. You know the answer to my question. ⬆️

NEW: Trump meant to send a Truth Social DM to Pam Bondi about indicting his rivals. That sounds like official business, so I'm filing a FOIA for her DMs, plus those of five other cabinet members. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/my-latest-...

My Latest FOIA: Trump's Truth Social DMs

Recently, Trump posted a message to Pam Bondi that was meant to be a direct message. I want to know what other official messages he's sending to cabinet members.

Trump: "I don't think there's anything that's gonna get me in heaven. I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven."

As the president embraces strongman politics, Democrats are increasingly trying to make him seem little.

This 4-year-old's heart is failing. A federal grant that might help him was canceled

As ICE terrorizes communities, remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies that will make bank off his budget bill.

And Stephen Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target immigrants.

Cashing in on cruelty.

This lack of Hatch Act protections is why friends at an unnamed federal agency did not bother to respond, with legitimate grievance, to the Secretary of that agency after that Secretary sent an email to blame Democrats for the shutdown. Pushback would have gotten them fired unjustly.
