I know my odds of winning the Powerball are lower than the odds of being hit by lightning while being struck by a bus driven by Bigfoot, but they’re still better than Congress doing its job.

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.
This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

BIG NEWS: A federal grand jury has AGAIN refused to indict NY AG Letitia James in the Eastern District of Virginia — this time in Alexandria.
This is just a week after the DOJ tried and failed to secure a grand jury indictment in Norfolk.

The problem is that if you have corrupt people sitting on the Supreme Court, they’re not going to view corrupt things that people do as being corrupt.

Jessica: There are some key indicators that Trump and this administration knows this is going badly… We aren't getting the jobs numbers anymore, the GDP numbers or inflation numbers and we know, Donald Trump, if the number is remotely good or he can lie about it—he tells you what it is.

Remember the Republican “heartbeat bills” that would require abortion doctors to spare the life of any fetuses that happened to survive a botched abortion? I guess this logic doesn’t apply to Venezuelans who survive an airstrike
