Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal.

Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration.

See how this works?

We don’t need more proof. Putin is a war criminal. He must be condemned and brought before international courts.
Russia is a terrorist state. And it must be treated as such.

Hard to not conclude that the US has now deliberately made a lasting choice — at least until 2029 — to align itself with Russia rather than Ukraine and our European allies.

"Il nostro ufficio locale NWS ha perso il proprio radar all'improvviso a causa di un malfunzionamento oltre a diversi impiegati. Questo accade ovunque. La stagione degli incendi in California sarà letale senza NWS"

I stand with NWS and NOAA employees!
Our local NWS office lost its radar abruptly this weekend due to technical malfunction, and lost several employees from the cuts. This is everywhere. Fire season in California will be lethal without the NWS.
