The most reliable way to get promoted and platformed in America is to have an unwavering commitment to being confidently wrong about everything, as long as the act of being completely wrong makes rich people richer.

There is no plan. There is no 3D chess. The president has a toddler’s understanding of the economy and will continue to just do things (and then undo them, and then do them again).

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.

The more people ICE detains, the wealthier private prison companies become.

No one should profit off the suffering of immigrants.
