From his mugshot in the Fulton County RICO case to his angry presence in the New York financial fraud trial, Trump’s message is clear: he’s mad. While reasonable voters might shy away from his fury, the GOP is embracing it wholeheartedly. But how sustainable is this strategy of leaning into Trump’s performative rage? https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/trump-2024-campaign-rage-conservatives

For Nat'l Police Week, Speaker Johnson is hosting a candlelight vigil tonight to honor fallen police officers.

But first he's in New York to support Trump, who has promised to pardon the violent criminals who brutally assaulted about 140 Capitol Police on Jan 6.

50 major corporations have contributed $23 million to election deniers since the January 6 Capitol attack.

They include AT&T, Comcast, Walmart, and Microsoft.

Corporate America will sell out our democracy, decency, and the rule of law — all for a tax break.

I'm not saying we shouldn't worry about how China might be using TikTok to steal our data and manipulate us...

But why aren't we at least as worried about the U.S. billionaires who own the other apps stealing our data and trying to manipulate us?

Your Earth Day reminder that Trump was terrible for the planet, rolling back more than 100 regulations governing clean air, water, wildlife, and toxic chemicals

No wonder he’s received millions in donations from Big Oil.

@arstechnica This is a pretty insignificant restriction. You can bet your bottom dollar that this sleazy grifter is making use of her jail time to come out fighting with her next scam.

She needs to be barred from running or owning any part of any business - she mustn't be allowed to move any further than burger flipping or janitor responsibilities in her entire life.
