This past week, the 79-year-old president announced he’s ended six wars (some that have been going on for centuries), asserted that windmills drive whales insane, called for Beyoncé to be prosecuted, claimed Obama committed treason and complained a convicted pedophile “stole” teenage girls from him.

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

🧵 Beyond deportation, the Trump admin aims to limit housing, food, & healthcare benefits to those with permanent legal status.
But that approach cruelly threatens the AMERICAN children of noncitizens, as well as refugees & those here under asylum/protected status.

It is much more boring than the crypto or SPAC stuff, but re-privatizing the GSEs without a corresponding raise would be by far the biggest corrupt Trump act in dollar terms. They have something like a $150 billion capital deficit and the market is pricing them handing it back to investors for free

In 2024, Biden signed into law a $105 billion measure designed to end a shortfall in air traffic controllers.
In 2025, Trump came in and instead began firing hundreds of them.
So you can see how *clear* it is that Biden is to blame for the shortage now.

The Constitution disagrees. The Emoluments Clause, part of Article I, Section 9, Clause 8, bans office holders from taking ANY gifts from foreign countries. There is no mention of quid pro quo. That is because the Founding Fathers knew that even the *appearance* of corruption promotes corruption.

No. The market was less than a mile away from an office of the Chinese CDC, an administrative building that was not doing virus research. The lab was across town, an area where zero early cases have been identified.
Fair enough. However, the wet market (the other prospective point of origin) is less than a mile away from one of the lab buildings, and only about 10 miles away from the furthest building. Trying to nail down a disease origin will likely put both places in the radius.
