Mafia governance in action

"the only offer on the table was that I needed to resign by 5pm that day or the DOJ would basically rain hell on UVA... If I did not resign that day, I was told that the DOJ would extract/block hundreds of millions of dollars from UVA before they would even negotiate."

It’s unconscionable that congress and the President do nothing and continue to be paid, while the government workers who keep us safe and people who need food assistance are literally cut off completely.

A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.

It should be illegal for law enforcement to wear masks and not show ID.
This makes it too easy to impersonate law enforcement and murder people in their homes.

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, *massive.*

I don’t mean this in the conspiratorial way, I accept that it happened, but how in the blue fuck can a country that turns out millions for anti-Trump protests and barely thousands for his lame ass birthday parade be <8 months out from having re-elected him?

Tell us your story: How are tariffs affecting your business? The Trump administration's tariff policies are introducing higher costs for businesses and their customers.

Maybe you run a shop that sources inventory from outside the country or you sell products made overseas and shipped into the U.S.

NBC News reporters are looking to hear from small-business owners and entrepreneurs who are experiencing changes as a result of President Trump's tariff policies.

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

Couldn’t help but notice that neither the Times or Post have a story up about Trump saying he’s not sorry that Joe Biden has cancer. I guess that’s just Trump being Trump ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This administration is doing absolutely everything they can to terrorize our federal workforce. After firing tens of thousands, now they’re ramming through a tax bill that will make it harder for federal workers to access their hard-earned retirement savings.

I make a point of not sharing it otherwise amplifying anything from this despicable person. But I’m making an exception to highlight his utter immorality and indecency.
