This Jack Smith deposition makes one thing abundantly clear:

If Donald Trump wasn’t re-elected, he’d be spending the rest of his life in prison.

And he should be.

“It was truly devastating” to lose funding for the Solar for All program when the Trump administration clawed back clean energy investments, Clementine Howard said. “We saw this as a way to make a life-changing difference to folks in the Mississippi Delta.”

Literally this year the MN Speaker was murdered at her home when a white male MAGA chud dressed up as a fake cop & killed her

Now mere months later, MAGAs are shocked that daycare operators in MN wouldn't open doors for white male MAGA chuds dressed up as fake journalists, demanding access to kids😐

I feel like "attention hacking" is most of politics now. The Minnesota aid fraud story is becoming a perfect example.

Recap: In 2022, the Biden DOJ filed the first charges against dozens of fraudsters, many of them Somali-American, who'd fleeced a state food aid program. (1/x)

All based on a “gotcha” video claiming that 3 daycares had no kids. One hadn’t opened yet for the day; one is actually closed. Dude arrived with no I.D. No call ahead. They DIDN’T LET HIM IN!

The fraud they’re referencing was investigated & prosecuted by the Biden DOJ. The ringleader was white.
This is monstrous. He wants to turn the residents of the state against Walz and against the Somali-American population.
BREAKING

The Trump administration says it has frozen all childcare payments to Minnesota in the aftermath of allegations of fraud by some in the Somali community.

Important: allegations along these lines have existed for years, which has resulted in prosecutions starting with the Biden DOJ.

“Out of touch” isn’t it.

A president who gilds the Oval Office in gold, slaps his own name on a cultural institution, tears down the East Wing for his own vanity project, and then tells us the affordability crisis is all in our heads.

It’s not out of touch; it’s contempt for the people he governs.

What is needed is a immigration service that works for the American people. We do not need an agency that is a terrorist organization against its own people.

Republicans have held a Supreme Court majority since 1974, no matter what the mood of the country is, and I think people have finally had enough. Ford gets a pick during his 2 years, Carter got none during his 4. The lifetime selection, random lottery of deaths and retirements doesn't serve us well.

Zuckerburg is paying only $190M to settle an $8B lawsuit by FB shareholders for the Cambridge Analytica crime.

$8B would’ve been 3% of his net worth, and $190M is .08%. ~$75 for ordinary working people.

A growing body of research indicates that Texas's restrictive abortion bans have negatively impacted the health and lives of Texas women and babies in multiple ways. Across the board, pregnancy outcomes and complications have worsened.
What researchers have discovered about maternal, infant health under Texas' abortion laws
In the more than four years since the state of Texas significantly restricted access to abortion, medical researchers have been studying the health effects of that policy change.

I’ve seen thousands of posts about welfare fraud from right-wingers on social media, which should be prosecuted if people committed crimes, but zero posts about the dozens of wealthy rich fraudsters who stole billions from thousands of people who have been pardoned by Trump.

This is not Trump being stupid, tho Trump is a very stupid person. This is not Trump being played, tho Trump is one of the most easily manipulated people who’s ever lived. No, the truth is scarier. This is Trump working for & siding with Putin. This is Trump, the Russian asset.
Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds a little strange but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices."

RFK Jr and Trump rolled back a Biden regulation that required nursing care homes that received Medicare and Medicaid payments to have a registered nurse on site 24/7.

Effective January 1st — those rules no longer apply.

So choose carefully when making medical care decisions for your loved ones.
