Jen Psaki asks what Saudi Prince MBS did for Trump that inspired Trump’s “lovey-dovey” treatment in last 2 days--holding his hand, putting arm around him repeatedly etc? Trump says Saudis have done little for him & his family, Psaki shows why this is a complete LIE

It was inspiring and refreshing today to see a dozen or so of Epstein’s victims celebrating, speaking about today’s resounding 427-1 vote to release the full Epstein files. But let’s remember that Epstein and his elites abused about 1000 underage women. The evil is so widespread.

When the Affordable Care Act soon goes up 100%+ as Trump cruelly cancels its gov’t subsidies, 30M+ Americans will have to decide whether to keep their health care or use that money for bills, food etc. Either way it’ll be a LOT of money taken out of the economy.

.@Maddow on the dozens of Jan 6 perps Trump pardoned in January who have reoffended since w/serious often violent crimes. And he just pardoned 77 who helped him try to steal 2020 election & cause a coup—abusing his pardon power to reward those committing crimes 4 him.

“Net worth of 10 richest US billionaires grew by $698B in the past year…10X the annual amount required to end extreme poverty worldwide. How have they managed to channel so much money into their pockets? Why can’t we get it back thru effective taxation?”

Trump is setting up military forces in all 50 states to deal with whatever Trump considers riots, protests, civil unrest etc. Why is he acting in advance against Americans' peaceful public Constitutional rights? Will he try to deter voting he disapproves of? Sounds a LOT like fascism.
