Donald Trump is too simple-minded to realize that when he brags about the White House's tacky new Caesars Palace Ballroom being "privately funded," he's admitting to taking bribes from influence peddlers, millionaires, and corporations that want something from him.

The GOP spent years screaming about a manufactured Biden bribe but says nothing about this. Tells you all you need to know.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Criminalizing pregnancy: A record number of women were prosecuted the year after Dobbs They were targeted for substance use, miscarriages, and stillbirths, largely driven by fetal personhood laws.

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

What's happened since?

A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

The difference between Christianity and Christian Nationalism is a Pope who advocated for our most marginalized and a woman who considers him evil for doing so.

My 10 year old sister and I got Social Security payments after my father died from exposure to Agent Orange. It helped my widowed mom when the family lost his income. He paid into it his whole life. They even took it from his check while he was serving in Vietnam. Jeanine can go fuck herself.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.

So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.

So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants.

So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House.

The hypocrisy is outrageous.

Good morning.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.

It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Elon Musk is developing a new payment platform called β€œX Money.”

Guess which agency would be making sure that Elon’s new project couldn’t scam you or steal your sensitive personal data? The CFPB.

Elon Musk inherited a lot of money from his rich daddy, and he is currently driving his businesses into the ground with his ineptitude.

Bodies are still being pulled from the Potomac.

The President and extreme MAGA Republicans are blaming women and people of color for the deadly plane crash.

At the same time, they are dismantling the Federal Aviation Administration as we know it.

Disgusting.
