Dean Obeidallah: "Expecting Trump to posthumously pardon his close friend Jeffery Epstein."

Despite being gainfully employed, on June 17, 2020, Santos submitted an online application for unemployment benefits to the NYS DOL. (PSR ¶ 76). In that application, Santos falsely claimed that he had been unemployed since March 17, 2020. (Id.). He falsely claimed that his workplace had been shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic but that he was otherwise willing and able to work right away. (Id.). From that point forward—for 64 weeks in a row— Santos falsely reaffirmed his continuing eligibility to receive unemployment insurance benefits, until September 5, 2021. (Id.). In each weekly certification, Santos lied about not working, despite continuing to be paid by Harbor City as its Regional Director. (Id.). Between June 18, 2020, and September 7, 2021, as a direct result of Santos’s fraudulent representations, the NYS DOL deposited tens of thousands of dollars in PUA and FPUC funds (all of which were federally funded) into Santos’s personal bank account. (PSR ¶ 77).15 In total, Santos unlawfully obtained $24,744 in unemployment insurance payments through patently false attestations. (Id. ¶ 78).

The Unemployment Fraud part of George Santos' guilty plea--in which he victimized NY State's DOL--was committed in 2020 to 2021, meaning there may be another year to charge him there.

There's more that might be chargeable.

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries: "Donald Trump has time to free serial fraudster George Santos from prison. But he can’t be bothered to address the Republican healthcare crisis crushing working class Americans. The extremists are insulting you every single day."

So trump is beyond Supreme Court control?

Justice Barrett, said, The court lacks the power to enforce its rulings.

RULE trump is an unconstitutional insurrectionist in violation of 14th sec3

Obey your oath.
Disqualify him & go into hiding.

Do it for America.

The Supreme Court Left No Doubt: It Will Gut the Voting Rights Act The ruling, when it comes, will be disastrous for Black voters and for Democrats.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

This is worth a listen
Good for this woman
And I hope her and her family are ok

And fuck him for sitting there, shaking his head and acting like he cared about anything she said

Her husband is serving this country
They care about no one not children
Not Vet
Not women
Not unborn babies

It’s hard to award the Nobel Peace Prize to a guy that maybe brokered a temporary peace deal after he ordered 500 tons of nutrient rich biscuits destroyed instead of saving the lives of desperate, starving babies.

The biggest divide in our politics is not left vs right — it's top vs bottom.

Billionaires are dividing us because our unity is a threat to their wealth and power.

I went on Joe Rogan’s show to bridge the divide and build a coalition big enough to take power back.

“There is no religion that says, ‘when someone gets sick, see how much money you can make off them.’” — @jamestalarico.bsky.social

I just held a rally in Plano, TX — a red part of the state — and 1,000 people showed up.

Many said it was their first political rally ever.

There’s something happening in Texas…

“Before I went on Joe Rogan, I went on Fox News and the Christian Broadcasting Network.

We Democrats can’t be afraid of uncomfortable conversations with folks who may not agree with us yet.”

The head of FEMA’s Urban Search and Rescue branch, which runs a network of teams stationed across the country that can swiftly respond to natural disasters, has resigned. cnn.it/4f16A4z

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

They actually did it.

FEMA Didn’t Answer Thousands of Calls From Flood Survivors, Documents Show

The incompetence of this administration is stunning.
Two days after the floods in Texas, FEMA failed to answer two-thirds of incoming calls. Contractors were laid off on July 5th, and Kristi Noem didn’t renew their contracts until five days later.
