Keep an eye on this potential settlement.
Google could pay $$$ to Donald Trump to settle a dubious lawsuit all while Trump’s Justice Department tries to break up Google’s monopoly.
This could be another example of how giant corporations are enabling Trump’s authoritarianism.
Notice he has no problem with certain monopolies and others he goes after. They all have to go.
COULD BE? I expect nothing less of corporations.
So what are the Dem's doing to thwart the destruction of our democracy? I fail to see anything of substance happening and it's very frustrating. Where is our leadership? Are we abdicating our duty to fight this with every ounce of energy and tenacity we have? Sure feels like it.
Where is all the money that is coming in from all these lawsuits going ? Is that money going to the US government or to trump ?
This is the new way to pay bribes. Donald sues, they settle with their bribe amount.
If you could just pay attention to what's best for the country and the people that would be great
A settlement is reached and the anti-trust case goes away? That’s what I’m guessing will happen.
Can the OVERSIGHT folks in DC congress and senate let the Americans know how many billions of dollars thus far has gone into FOTUS’ banks accounts for all of his extortions, quid pro quo and Pardon fees since January 2025?
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
Nice company you got there…
Be a shame if something happened to it.
'Blue States Bloc' would counter Trump charisma: assign issues to top voices i.e. Warren on economy, Whitmer on healthcare, Newsom on climate etc. as a TEAM. Press would know who to call & Americans would see not a muddle but a disciplined gov-in-waiting hartmannreport.com/p/from-silen...
Voters don’t rally behind policy papers: they rally behind leaders they can see and believe in. Democrats must end the era of weak, divided messaging and rise with a chorus of commanding voices…
It might be worth reminding these CEOs that when the corruption scandals break they will be held to the law as much as trump will be. The difference being that he will probably have died of old age and so the retribution will be greater for them.
so you’re definitely in support of impeachment, yes?
Thanks for posting this! If you could please use Alt-Text for vision impaired bluesky users then I would be able to repost.
OF COURSE IT IS
It’s crazy because we have historic proof that the guy folds under a light breeze.
All you have to do is say no to him and he doesn’t do shit. I hope every company that gets on their knees to huff his flaccid micropenis goes bankrupt and their assets redistributed to the victims of their treason.
Or negotiating with him
Sounds like another good reason to call for his removal, since bribery is explicitly an impeachable offense.
Money to Trump? For what? Are they blowing him too?
This is how giant monopolies get what they want. They can directly pay off people by way of a phony lawsuit settlement.
Omg this is so fucking infuriating
Bribes openly accepted by Trump since taking office in January, 2016.
Bribery writ large.
The same Gulf of America Google? I say 🖕🖕
Googles news outlets have become noticeably more right leaning in recent months and apologetic to Trump's antics. Probably related to this mess.
Corporations have enabled every Presidency since the beginning of our country. I’m more concerned about members of the House and Senate enabling this fuckery.
This is sucky!
No alt text on the image. 😒
It’s just another example of how Trump uses law suits to extort money from institutions.
Next Dem admin needs to let the FTC be even MORE aggressive than Lina Khan's FTC was in breaking up these companies.
It does us no good for so much power to be concentrated in the hands of so few conglomerates.
Really more about how truly skilled he has become at blackmail at volume without consequences.
Corruption!!
Extortion payment.
I'm more worried about Meta's monopoly, since they don't seem to be able to run their sites responsibly. Google doesn't concern me anywhere near as much.
