And if it ever did happen when Buttigieg was in charge, you would be properly compensated for it.

Never forget who Trump governs for.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

White House faces questions over UAE royal's investment in Trump family's crypto firm President Donald Trump's administration is under growing pressure from congressional Democrats related to conflict of interest concerns over the Trump family's business.

Trump gets $500 million in cash then approves deal sending advanced AI chips to UAE. Blatant corruption.

He gets richer every day. You get poorer. That’s his presidency.

America needs new leaders, and massive anti-corruption reforms.

US backsliding under Trump is steeper than any recent precedent

From Jan 30 Financial Times.

Michigan state senator Mallory McMorrow (D) @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social is leading the Democratic primary for the Michigan Senate race (per Emerson College Polling).

This race is ranked Toss-Up by @cookpolitical.com

Alexandra Vindman is a great man and I wish him luck.

Unfortunately, this race is currently ranked Solid Republican by @cookpolitical.com

It will be interesting to see if Cook Political moves this race towards the left now that Vindman is running.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Minnesota is ranked only 20th of all states by per capita number of undocumented immigrants (Florida, Nevada and Texas are the Top Three).

There is NO REASON for the huge buildup of ICE agents in Minnesota.

ICE just killed another person in Minneapolis. This is absolutely sickening. Donald Trump needs to get his unqualified, untrained, violent agents the hell out of Minnesota IMMEDIATELY.

BREAKING:

Jack Smith: "As I testify before the Committee today, I want to be clear: I stand by my decisions as Special Counsel, including my decision to bring charges against Pres. Trump. Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Pres. Trump engaged in criminal activity."

The Founders assumed that Members of Congress would jealously and zealously guard the powers and prerogatives of their branch of government against the grasping of an overweening Executive, and instead we got this supine GOP majority that yearns to lick the boot.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

I made this video so we can talk about what ICE is actually doing in our cities. I have the details and you need to hear them. Please share this.

ICE isn't targeting criminals or even people here illegally. They are just making up the law - every day. Here's what's going on.

We are NOT the same. Democrats are out protesting and fighting for our country and MAGA are licking boots.

They want us to fold — WE WON’T.

The violent mob that attacked the Capitol on January 6 was not peaceful.

Stop lying to the American people.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.

It’s about oil and regime change.

And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.
