I believe the debate about whether Bezos is "obligated to fund $100m+ annual losses" misses the point. He intentionally expanded those losses by millions of dollars for basic corruption reasons, so that the Trump administration would be nicer to Amazon and Blue Origin slate.com/business/202…

While Amazon touts the surveillance state enabled by its Ring cameras, remember…Amazon's U.S. tax bill dropped by 87% in 2025, mostly thanks to Trump's tax cuts.Meanwhile, its profits jumped by 45% to nearly $90 billion — and it announced 30,000 job cuts.Is this the world we want to live in?

Trump said he would fight for “forgotten Americans.” I didn’t know that meant Jeff Bezos.Despite making $89.5 BILLION in profits last year, Amazon paid just 3.1% in taxes.This is what Republicans’ SNAP & Medicaid cuts were for.Guess that ‘Melania’ doc really paid off.

More than half the drugs on the TrumpRx site have a cheaper generic version on the market.Pristiq, an antidepressant, is available with a TrumpRx coupon for ~$200 for a 30-day supply.A generic version is on GoodRx for less than $30 and Mark Cuban's CostPlusDrugs for $16.65.

💊NOT CHEAPER—TrumpRx claims he cuts prices on the “fat shot” (GLP-1) drugs—but not only is Zepbound cheaper directly from pharma’s website than on TrumpRx—but TrumpRx’s list price is higher! Furthermore, TrumpRx retail price is artificially inflated (akin to inflated Macy’s $).

— Eric Feigl-Ding (@drericding.bsky.social) 2026-02-07T02:11:58.305Z

GoodRx powers TrumpRx as an official “key integration partner,” handling pricing, API integration, and coupon processing. The catch? TrumpRx covers just 43 drugs compared to thousands. Another scam.

The blatant selling of pardons is perhaps the clearest instance of criminal conduct authorized by SCOTUS. Pardons are a quintessential "official act." So, even when Trump takes a bribe to issue one, he is presumably above the criminal law.

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news…85% of the people granted pardons or clemency this year by Trump are white, and Jan. 6 defendants made up 90% of those who benefited, according to a new report compiled by Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., a vocal advocate for criminal justice reform.

The mainstream news media will never call Trump explicity racist. They'll always dodge the allegation. That's because the white people running the joints need to believe that there is a distinction between donig racist things and promoting racist polices, versus being *personally* racist.

Demonstrating that Trump believes his cult will believe anything he tells them to believe, the White House announced that the shockingly racist meme posted on Trump's Truth Social account was posted by "a White House staffer." It was posted in the middle of the night, so which "staffer" is that?

— Ambassador Ken Fairfax (ret) (@portlandken.bsky.social) 2026-02-06T20:22:21.699Z

Haven't seen this angle mentioned, but it's an extraordinary national security risk to have an anonymous "staffer" impersonating the president of the United States, posting racist memes, from his personal accounts, at 10 PM.
