I wrote The Renewal Project because outrage is not enough. We already know the system is being looted by billionaires, lobbyists, liars, and political arsonists. The question is: what replaces the rot? My answer: competence-based government, universal rule of law, anti-corruption enforcement, healthcare, climate action, labor power, civil rights, and democratic repair. Welcome to the operation. therenewalproject.substack.c…

President Trump always looks out for us, as his new $250 bill is the exact amount St. Peter asks for to enter heaven’s kingdom.

On average, world leaders have 3.8 felonies. That doesn't sound so bad.

Todd Blanche is covering up rape while criminally investigating a woman who won $80 million because the President (his former client) raped her. History will remember this man as an evil, corrupt piece of shit I guarantee it.

Funny that the senile old orange bag of shit can't even remember the lies he told before, because that fuck just can't stop lying.
Trump: “I have a contractor that built my pools, did an Olympic pool at my clubs. He can do the reflecting pool for $1.3M in less than 2 weeks.” *A no bid contract and 6 weeks later, the budget is now $13.4M Trump: “I don’t know the contractor. Never used them before.”

Breaking news: Trump administration officials have pressed the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to design a $250 bill featuring the president’s portrait, in what would be the first appearance of a living person on U.S. currency in more than 150 years. wapo.st/4dQNsGj

TRUMP: “The left has paid rioters!” Also TRUMP: “I’m creating a $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund for our Jan. 6 rioters.”

They released the composites on the new arch for DC that @realDonaldTrump wants to build so damn bad, that also, by the way, just got approved by the Trump-appointed federal arts commission...

Colorado Parks & Wildlife relocated a mama bear and her cubs after they ended up living under a family’s deck in Colorado Springs. Honestly? Good. No “alpha male” bullshit. No killing them because they became inconvenient. No treating wildlife like enemies. Just professionals doing their jobs correctly so both the family and the bears get another shot. It's a small thing. But in a country that increasingly feels like everybody wants to scream at each other all day, I’ll take competent public servants quietly solving problems without turning it into a culture war. More of this energy, please. #Colorado #Wildlife #ColoradoSprings

Colorado's own threat-intelligence officials reportedly warned that some DHS/ICE recruitment messaging was using themes and language recognizable to white-supremacist and extremist circles — to the point they feared it could create a "permissive environment" for vigilante violence against people perceived to be immigrants. Read that again, slowly. Not activists. Not bloggers. Not open-borders advocates. Colorado public-safety analysts. People whose job is to identify the early signals of domestic extremist violence. This is what happens when immigration enforcement stops being about law and starts being about fear branding. Invasion rhetoric. Meme propaganda. Dehumanization campaigns engineered to farm outrage and find enemies. You can support border security without turning federal enforcement into a recruitment aesthetic for angry men with something to prove. And when your messaging is alarming actual counterterrorism professionals because extremists are reading it as permission? The problem isn't the analysts. #Immigration #DomesticExtremism #BorderSecurity #ICE #TheRenewalProject
