Trump family’s endless corruption and greed

Reporter: 1.4 billion, really closer to 1.5. I studied Donald Trump's finances, and this amount the Trump family made last year is greater than the sum total of everything he ever made in his whole life.#NoWarrantNoICE #NoMoneyForMurderers

Trump’s plan for the USIP building may be illegal

New Scooplet from me: The State Department is poised to take over a building DOGE seized from the US Institute of Peace, former staffers claim—possibly for Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace.” @wired.com http://www.wired.com/story/trump-…

The Peace Building in DC has been renamed the “Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace”The institute created by Congress, signed into law by Reagan, and axed by Trump back in February. He literally had the president of the USIP hauled out by police and has now deemed himself the emperor of peace.

Another clip shared by DC Metropolitan Police in response to my FOIA lawsuit from the DOGE raid on USIP shows the same white shirt cop addressing three USIP staff members outside the building. He says "Obviously there's gonna be lawsuits on the back end of this, and civil stuff."

A former USIP official said of Trump: “It’s pretty ironic that he put his name on an institution he destroyed.”Taking over institutions and putting your name on it is another sign of authoritarianism.www.cnn.com/2025/12/03/p…

Vance and others don’t mention Jews on Holocaust Remembrance Day

Pritzker does this the right way. Vance’s statement leaving out any mention of Jews is horrible. Search for my other posts on the Holocaust.

Today, we mourn the six million Jews and countless others murdered during the Holocaust.This International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we recommit ourselves to honoring their memories and standing up to antisemitism and bigotry in all its forms.

— JB Pritzker (@jbpritzker.bsky.social) 2026-01-27T18:46:50.462Z

The widespread erasure of Jews from the Holocaust is an exploding trend. Stop playing into it. Once that succeeds, we are truly on a rapidly decaying downward spiral.

Legitimately a feat of carefully calculated writing to issue a Holocaust Remembrance Day statement of this length without mentioning either (1) the people who perpetrated the Holocaust or (2) the people against whom they perpetrated it

Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day. It's getting harder to remember as the number of living Holocaust survivors dwindles. Read this piece on the work of remembering: lnk.thebulwark.com/49ZzOP0

this story quotes:- A trump ambassador- A museum run by Trump appointees- Stop Antisemitism, an organization funded by right-wing donors… aaannnnddd that's it! Not a single scholar of the Holocaust. Not anyone unaffiliated with Walz' political opponents.

South Carolina Measles Outbreak Becomes Largest In U.S. History Since First Elimination

There have already been more U.S. measles cases in the first three weeks of 2026 than there were in all of 2023 and 2024 COMBINED: http://www.jezebel.com/measles-case… #measles #disease #publichealth #quarantine

In a December 16 email to Mother Jones, at which time South Carolina already had more than 100 cases, a spokesperson from HHS downplayed the threat of measles. Now, with 789 cases and counting, the state's current measles outbreak is the nation’s largest since measles was eliminated in 2000.

— Mother Jones (@motherjones.com) 2026-01-28T18:12:18.402Z

When I think about measles I think about the number 1,000. Thats the number that epidemiologists use to explain harm from measles in children. With 1,000 cases, about 200 children will require hospitalization, 50 will develop pneumonia, and one to three will die.South Carolina is at 789.
