Crimer-In-Chief Donald Trump wants to steal $230 million dollars from American taxpayers, claiming heβs owed money because of his investigations and prosecutions.
His claims are absurd & we should all sue him for the pain and suffering heβs put us through over the years.

If you assume everything Trumpers do is about Epstein, you will be correct 90 percent of the time.

Trump could have brought the nation together to confront political violence after the murder of Charlie Kirk.
Instead he appears to be preparing to use the shooting as a pretext to destroy his political opposition and consolidate power.

This is remarkable. New Quinnipiac poll finds support for path to legalization for most undocumented immigrants has risen to 64%. Only 31% want most of them deported.
That's a 14 point net swing for legalization since Trump took office.
On immigration generally, he's at 41-57!
Senator Alex Padilla is a good man and principled public servant.
The brazen and aggressive manhandling of Senator Padilla by the Trump administration is a sickening disgrace.
Anyone who assaulted the Senator should be held accountable.

Last month, civilian Navy officials, following orders originating from Mr. Hegseth, pulled from shelves books including one that critiqued βThe Bell Curve,β a 1994 text that argues that Black men and women are genetically less intelligent than white people. But the academy kept βThe Bell Curveβ itself on its shelves.
Youβre allowed to argue that black people and women are genetically inferior. But youβre NOT allowed to argue they are NOT inferior because thatβs divisive. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/09/u...

AOC: They want to talk about why America is great or making America great. Our civil liberties and our civil protections are part of what makes America great. When you want to shred up our constitution and eliminate due process, it is attacking what it is to be an American.
