Wow. A federal appeals court ruled citizens don't have standing to sue the government for voting rights violations.

Only the department of justice can bring lawsuits defending the Voting Rights Act.

When the DOJ is a criminal organization, we're fucked.

Lived in Coed dorm one summer in college.

Sr class males invited Freshman girls to play strip poker..girls invited me as they did not know how to play poker.

Within hr, every male was down to jeans & briefs.

They quit.

When trying to play poker..know who is at the table.
Trumputin gives in to Xi. Reduces his 145% tariff to 10%. We knew he’d blink first. I wish I could play poker with him. He’d be down to his underwear (LOOK AWAY!) in minutes.

Remember this: when they say "privatize," they mean "profit-ize." Private equity sees liquidation as profit. Don't be fooled.

It’s actually insane that there’s an argument happening here over whether the plane grift is “corruption”

What are we even doing?

Yall she is same lady he thought he bought for $25k

& then let his private foundation get closed so she could avoid potential prosecution for taking illegal campaign contribution..for shelving investigation into Trump Univ.

All conjecture & speculation..

So many layers of corruption.

Let’s break this down—because the gaslighting is wild:

📌Oct 2022 – Biden signs EO to cut drug prices

📌Jan 2025 – Trump takes office and kills Biden’s EO to cut drug prices

📌May 2025 – Trump signs his own EO to lower drug prices

Trump canceled Biden’s plan then brought it back w/his name on it.

Late Friday, the CFPB quietly gutted the protections I fought to put in place for families exploited by predatory contracts for deed.

Vought called it a “compliance burden” — I’d like to know how letting unscrupulous sellers exploit people just trying to buy their own home is a “compliance burden.”

To President Zelensky- Putin can’t be trusted. HE asked for the Thursday meeting. He wants you to expose yourself. Rewatch the Godfather or Game of Thrones season 1, ep 7. Make sure he and his bodyguards are searched. Stay 10 feet away from him. Don’t shake his hand.

The Afrikaner stunt is the kind of thing that has backfired so far -- it creates legal arguments for other refugees about animus.

But holy hell he's not hiding the white sheets.

Remember that several people asked Pam Bondi during confirmation SPECIFICALLY what she would do on matters pertaining to Qatar (which she did not disclose) or GEO (pertinent to the Baraka arrest). She said she'd consult top career lawyer at DOJ abt recusal.

Then she fired that lawyer.
