Could it be more obvious that Trump is corruptly paying off his big fossil fuel donors at the public’s expense?

Squelching clean energy does the same, moving the grid to higher-cost fossil fuel plants.

Try it: COR-RUP-TION.

Easy word, and accurate.

No one should be surprised this lawless Trump DOJ violated the law by failing to release all the files. I can’t overstate how sickened, disgusted & infuriated I am by this criminal regime—and how much I believe these corrupt & felonious thugs need to be held accountable once Dems are back in power.

My original thought was it’s a horror that Trump is in office for America’s 250th anniversary. Now I’m pleased that we will be reminded by our founders every day in 2026 that they fought to free themselves from a tyrannical despot and we must, too.

I just want to say I’m grateful to everyone who follows me here on Bluesky—the discourse, the defiance, the sharing. It matters more than I can say. Happy Thanksgiving!

What is seditious behavior? "Conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state or monarch." What an irony that Trump thinks this should be punished with death, since that's exactly what he was found guilty of for "incitement of insurrection" in his second impeachment.

Meanwhile, Trump purposefully drives up consumers’ electricity costs by suppressing clean energy on the grid, forcing grid operators to go to more-expensive fossil fuel units. Money goes straight from ratepayers’ pockets to his big fossil fuel donors. Sweet scam. apnews.com/article/trum...

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

New in PN: CNN shows that when media orgs fight Trump, they win

"Paying the blackmailer makes you look like a cowardly mark — both to your audience and to the guy grabbing you by the wallet. And with courts announcing they won’t be part of Trump's extortion racket, media outlets need to toughen up"

You may not be able to afford rent and groceries, and your health insurance may be about to skyrocket in 42 days, but the good news is that the Saudis got F-35s, nuclear tech, and security guarantees after putting hundreds of millions in Trump’s pocket.

Today is just one long demonstration of the One Special Boy virus that has consumed our polity. Immediate presidency-ending stuff for anyone else from at least Truman to Biden. We're not even pretending to care about the law or the Constitution or any of the norms or duct tape anymore.

The message of Trump pardoning violent MAGA 1/6 rioters was always, “Violence to help me (even against police) is fine and I will have your back.”

Please MAGAts tell me again how well healthcare functions in the US compared to other developed countries
Novo Nordisk’s move to cut the price of Ozempic to $499 for the uninsured is a modest step forward, but let’s not forget.

Ozempic costs just $59 in Germany while it costs less than $5 to make.

The U.S. must no longer pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs.

One of the most blatant forms of Christian hypocrisy in our time is Christians holding all ordinary people accountable to the most rigid moral standards while simultaneously holding themselves and their preferred politicians accountable to no standards at all.
