The Trump hotel in NYC that is confiscated to pay for his crimes and all the damage he has done to our country.

Reminds me of a story told by a woman who was deathly afraid of spiders. She saw one on her floor and threw a book on top of it. The book sat in the middle of the floor for days until she finally got the courage to lift it. Upon lifting it, she found a smooshed ball of black thread.

Two great alternatives:

Thoughts of lavish parties, expensive personal jets, luxury living quarters, extravagant ball rooms, and payouts to dictators come to mind.

I'm livid.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Our democracy is under attack. To protect it, we need to show up. My next in-person town hall is ONE WEEK AWAY, on Saturday, November 8. I hope to see you there.

Trump is sending our economy into free fall and his solution is to throw millions of Americans off their health care this fall.

Masked, heavily armed Trump regime agents abducted a U.S. citizen in a Los Angeles Home Depot parking lot during an ethnic cleansing raid, then drove away in his car with his one year old daughter, also a citizen, still inside. #OpDeathEaters #EndImpunity

I'm sure the billionaires who fund their luxury vacations and riddle them with expensive gifts hate tarriffs.

Judge McConnell to DOJ's Tyler Becker:

"In fact, nothing was done consistent with the court's order to clear the way to expeditiously resolve it."

"On the shadow docket" of course

"Rules against the lower courts and sides with Trump" of course, of course

SCOTUS no longer has any legitimacy and has lost the public's trust.

It needs a complete revamp.

Imagine that.

You do things that are terribly unpopular with the voting public and it backfires.

Who could have predicted?

"The man was initially identified by Getty Images as Gordon Findlay, the global brand director for Ozempic manufacturer Novo Nordisk, though the pharmaceutical company later shared a statement with multiple outlets saying that Findlay was not present at the event."

They are so damn incompetent.

Why does his head look like a Minecraft character in that picture?

When you're a sociopath and get angry that someone else's medical emergency, just four feet away, drew focus from your gloating and you forget which lie you were on.

These good old boys are all about protecting their own, especially the sexual predators.

I cannot wait until they *all* get put in their place- which is not anywhere near a place of power.

Wait. Was this actually posted on LieSocial?

That is hilarious!

"Back the blue", aright?!

It's like a short bus full of toddlers are running the country.

Thus is the view out of my home office window.

I just can't stop staring out at the beauty and really need to get back to work.
