Oh, and Donny Boy, "Thank you for your attention to this matter. We hope you will be hearing from @governor.ca.gov soon."

Oh, Daddy Donald is "ashamed" of his Supreme Court Children for disobeying his patriarchal orders to allow any and all of his illegal actions as president.

Bernie Sanders speaking at the California Billionaires Tax rally:

"Today in America, one man, Mr. Musk, is now worth $850 billion."

(Crowd: boos)

"One man owns more wealth than the bottom 53% of American households."

There is an old man on my TV rambling on about how a Supreme Court decision now gives him unlimited power to destroy trade with other countries. And he wants us to pay attention to this matter.

Vietnam War veterans sue to block construction of Trumpโ€™s triumphal arch The veterans argued the project would encroach on the nearby Arlington National Cemetery.

Vets sue over rump arch because it blocks the Arlington cemetery view.

That AG better hurry up before the Republican owner destroys evidence. His son works in the White House.

The key word is "personally." Their private and public businesses will reap huge profits as the Palestinians are eliminated.

Which is why Democrats in Congress and in the states where he operates (Florida, Georgia, New York) must continue to go after him, politically and legally. He must be stopped. His corrupt cabinet must be stopped.

GOP owner of Zorro Ranch says construction under way to make it into a Christian Retreat for Children.

Check it out. They will destroy all evidence before the "law" slowly puts together the investigation.

In a day of shocking news, this is perhaps the most unsettling. Who ordered it made? Who ordered it placed at DOJ? Itโ€™s his mugshotโ€ฆ

Wonder what Rightwing SCOTUS is thinking today.

Your first sentence is wishful thinking. Some of the courts under Trump-appointed judges are in fact stopping him. But it's not nearly enough. IMHO.

In unsealed court documents, Epstein survivor Virginia Giuffre alleged that she was forced to have sex with Wexner numerous times.

Trump said today that because he is completely "exonerated" in the Epstein Files, he is the "only one who can talk about them." TALK ABOUT THEM UNDER OATH, CREEP. #Chicken #Guilty
