$2 million is peanuts compared to all the money he's grifted by misusing his power.
Trump: "I get no credit. As president I make $2.5 million over four years. I waived it. I'm the only president that ever waived it."

Isn't Trump the person who trafficked Giuffre to Epstein and Andrew?
DOOCY: On Prince Andrew, do you think American associates of Jeffrey Epstein will wind up in handcuffs too?
TRUMP: I'm the expert in a way because I've been totally exonerated. That's very nice. I can actually speak about it very nicely. I think it's a shame. I did nothing.

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right.
Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement.

For a country to survive, Elon Musk must go to jail
Like many disingenuous or outright false arguments, this one (in which the Elongated Muskrat goes on to argue that America is about whiteness) begins with an almost-true statement.
More accurate to say:
"For a [community] to survive, there have to be [some shared beliefs, values, and objectives]."

When Tom Homan, Trump and other Republicans defend the masking of ICE agents, I can't help but think of Orson Welles announcing on his radio show his intention of identifying the South Carolina police officer who violently attacked and blinded the uniformed Black veteran Isaac Woodard in 1946.
