Video obtained by CNN shows the rear landing gear of the jet buckling and the right wing shearing away in a fireball after the plane landed hard on the runway.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Elon Musk fired a disabled Veteran with 3 tours of duty from his job serving other Veterans at the VA.

Elon’s companies get billions from defense contracts. He’s happy to profit off our servicemembers - but when he can no longer make money off them, he kicks them to the curb.

At least $12 *trillion* from global oligarchs is hidden offshore in secret tax havens worldwide. And it is headquartered right here in the USA.

Instead of cutting lifesaving programs like the VA, Medicaid, and food stamps, we should be cracking down on tax havens for the ultra-rich.

I’m at a video game competition/conference with one of the kids. It is amazing. Lots of “weirdos” (in the best way) just being themselves. This is the America I want to live in. I want people to be able to not fit in and find their own way.

DURBIN: I wonder if we ought to give fair warning to farmers and ranchers that if you have immigrant labor, you can expect federal agents to come and search your property. Is that in the future under the mass deportation plan?

BROOKE ROLLINS *word salad*
