When the people that pay Trump $6M for a pardon get arrested for a new crime, do they have to pay $12M for their next one?

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis diverted more than $35 MILLION in taxpayer dollars to defeat two ballot initiatives last year.

I’ve got the @miamiherald.com‘s blockbuster reporting on how DeSantis cheated needy Floridians and children from their already-earmarked funds.

very hard to imagine trump protecting a friend, esp when it's not politically expedient. outside of his children, he's treated every relationship as disposable or transactional, in service of self-gain or self-preservation.

"And I never say no"

We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control.

We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

“Donald Trump's wealth has nearly TRIPLED since he became president, driven largely by crypto ventures fueled by foreign governments.

We need a president who works to improve life for the millions who can’t afford food, housing or health care, not one who enriches himself.” ~ Bernie Sanders

Because of a lawsuit I helped lead against Trump, ICE FINALLY had to let us in and inspect detention facility conditions. Here’s what we know: they are not meeting the requirements of a facility that is holding people for more than 12 hours, no working kitchen, no medical personnel, no transparency.

ICE agents spent Christmas Eve arresting a man in a Walmart parking lot—even taking his already purchased groceries for themselves.

A bystander asked ICE if she could take down the phone number of his wife to let her know her husband had been detained. The ICE agents refused. trib.al/FwqJZki
