Popes have been put on trial. Kings have been put on trial.
There's no good reason why we should not be able to put this criminal president on trial.

Drugmakers plan to raise U.S. prices on at least 350 branded medications — including vaccines against COVID, RSV and shingles, and the blockbuster cancer treatment Ibrance. That’s up from the same point last year, when drugmakers unveiled plans for raises on more than 250 drugs.

Gavin Newsom, without blinking:
“He wants a Nobel Peace Prize while deploying Marines against his own people?”
Let that sink in. Donald Trump didn’t bring peace. He brought the battlefield home.
U.S. troops in U.S. cities.
That is not leadership. That is escalation.

Trump vetoes a bill with bipartisan support that would provide clean drinking water to rural areas of Colorado because the Governor won't pardon Trump loving Tina Peters. She broke state laws by tampering with voting machines. Trump is a a traitor to our nation. He should be charged with TREASON!

I have been warning for years that once insurance companies had a reason to stop denying hormones to trans folks, they’d be coming for the menopausal among us next. We all rise or fall together.
My insurance company just sent me a letter saying they will stop covering two of my prescriptions because they are ‘not medically necessary’. Which ones?
1. My testosterone, because I am not a man
2. My menopause meds for hot flashes because, after all, women should just deal with it.

Trump says US bombed alleged drug facility in Venezuela. No one knows if it’s true.
It could be a lie from social media, or a conflation of other stories. Either way, Americans need to know.

This is the Russia/Ukraine equivalent of "there are very fine people-on both sides"
Q: Some are saying Russia's recent attacks show Putin isn't serious about peace
TRUMP: Ukraine has made some very strong attacks also. I don't say that negatively. There have been explosions in various parts of Russia. I don't think it came from the Congo. I don't think it came from the USA.

Donald Trump has now banned thinking. Anyone caught doing it will be labeled “very unfair,” sent to a rally, and retrained to shout opinions they don’t understand. Quiet thoughts are illegal. Loud confusion is patriotic. 🇺🇸

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.
When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

We have less than 5% of the world’s population but almost 33% of its billionaires.
Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. 40% cannot cover any emergency expenses.
Our systems have failed the majority of Americans…and that disparity is being accelerated by this administration.
