If voters think the country should run like a business, why the outrage at United Healthcare? It’s efficient, profitable, and prioritizes shareholders—not your freedom, health or safety. Why object to corporations transferring wealth to billionaires while endorsing a government on the same model?

When did conflicts of interest stop mattering? If the media can find a politician on the left with a conflict of interest, it still seems to make the press. Why not on the right?
Federal law prohibits federal contractors from donating to federal elections (like president). So, what's up with Musk/SpaceX? What am I missing here?

So Luigi Mangione could just run for president and have the charges dropped if he wins, is that how it works?

The GOP is apparently planning on passing a reconciliation package with as much as $120 BILLION in border-related funding.
To put that in context, if you add up ever single Border Patrol budget from 1990 through 2024, adjusted for inflation, it's $121 billion. That's THIRTY-FOUR YEARS of funding.

No, five Republicans on the Supreme Court say this would be "free speech" rather than a bribe...
This is illegal!
Trump posted to Truth Social, “Any person or company investing ONE BILLION DOLLARS, OR MORE, in the United States of America, will receive fully expedited approvals and permits, including, but in no way limited to, all Environmental approvals. GET READY TO ROCK!!!”

They made this whole gotdamn thing up!
The entire Republican Committee needs to be investigated for this!
Will it happen, highly unlikely. 🤬

Remember the FBI informant who claimed President Biden took millions in bribes from Burisma?
He admitted today in federal court that he made the whole thing up.
And that he started spinning new lies after meeting with Russian intelligence.

Pretty amazing how we all know who the worst people on Earth are, even as the worst people on Earth also know who the worst people on Earth are so that when they are in trouble they can run to one another
Had Trump not won the presidency he might well be in Moscow with Putin and Assad tonight also

Even the Koch Brothers Weren’t This Brazen
Tech billionaires such as Jeff Bezos and Marc Andreessen aren’t even trying to mask their politics anymore.

Overthrown Syrian dictator Bashar Al-Assad fled to mother Russia a couple days ago and will be protected there. He’ll be joining overthrown Ukrainian dictator Viktor Yanukovych. If they room together, I wonder if they’ll make space for Trump in a few years.
