Quiet, Piggy! Let's talk about how much Trump hates women | The Joy Reid Show YouTube video by The Joy Reid Show

On Wednesday's TJRS, we unpack Donald Trump's absolute hatred of women, which he takes out especially on women journalists www.youtube.com/live/y6Q32x4...

BIG NEWS: Trump says he has signed the bill to release the Epstein Files. Now all eyes are on how he and the Department of Justice handle the release.

Last night’s lavish White House dinner showed us the global oligarchy coming together in plain sight.

By cozying up to MBS, Trump has signaled to the world that the United States is now on the side of authoritarianism, not democracy.

It's harder to get home insurance. That's changing communities across the U.S. Home insurance is getting less affordable, and less available, as insurers raise prices and pull back from areas with extreme weather. That's forcing families across the country to make tough choices.

As Americans go hungry, Trump’s out golfing on your dime using your tax dollars. Don’t worry, it’s only about $3–4 million per trip.

🧵 The UAW has officially endorsed @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social for US Senate, and is committed to sending a working class fighter back to DC to represent the nearly 100,000 active and retired UAW members who live and vote in Ohio.

Enten: "Trump is doing absolutely awful in the minds of the American people. We're talking about new lows. CNBC, -13 net approval on the economy. It's -19 among Quinnipiac ... He's not just beating himself with record lows -- this is the lowest for any president ever."

Shawn Fain: “Solidarity Doesn’t Stop at the Border” United Auto Workers president Shawn Fain lays out the union’s vision for rewriting trade rules, raising wages across North America, and challenging the race to the bottom.

But he did and no one stopped him and no one will do anything about it.

530,000 Michiganders, including 275,000 in Republican-held Congressional Districts, are at risk of higher health care prices or losing their health care coverage because of President Trump.

ICE is hiring dozens of health workers as lawsuits, deaths in custody mount Nearly as many migrants have died in detention so far this year than over the four years of the Biden administration.

More people have died this year in immigration detention than any other year in decades.

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average worker makes. His total compensation last year was $97,813,843!

Enough is enough. It’s time to come to the bargaining table and give Starbucks baristas - who make the company’s profits possible - a fair contract.

Never happened

Outrageous

He would be excited to celebrate a rapist and murderer.
