So now we know after trying to stuff her pockets with millions of taxpayer dollars because she thinks she’s above the law and can’t have her phone records looked at, @MarshaBlackburn got special treatment during the storm.

And y’all want to reward her by making her governor? πŸ˜•

The second you leave this country for even a few days, you realize the place you call home is decaying at an almost exponential pace. The realization that you don't have to live like this is stark, and that nobody in power is taking tangible actions to fix it in your lifetime is even starker.

Trump says this is not happening. Which is why he spent his State of the Union speech honoring sports teams and awarding military medals.

Billionaires can’t be satisfied, ever. They don’t care about helping society because they’re not part of it. We’re bugs to them.

The Handbasket 100% independent journalism by Marisa Kabas

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

Off the top of my head:

After the 2020 election Trumpworld filed 62 lawsuits alledging fraud, dark Web conspiracies, etc

Nearly all were dismissed outright or dropped for lack of evidence/standing.

THERE WAS ZERO WIDESCALE ELECTION FRAUD IN 2020!

Note: Every Trump/MAGA accusation is a confession

GALLUP: More Americans now sympathize with the Palestiniansβ€” including most Dems, Independents, and people under 55.

Republicans and older people still side with the Israelis.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

He doesn’t like doing things to benefit the people. He not at all interested.
He lies and takes credit for the good things that President Biden & others have done because lying & bragging are less work & what he does best.

The US Immigration Industrial Complex is a Threat to Everyone If President Dwight D. Eisenhower were alive today, he very well may warn of the ever-growing immigration industrial complex.

"US immigration enforcement has evolved into a rapidly growing multi-billion-dollar industry in which profitability increasingly dictates policy and enforcement priorities."
