The president is falling asleep durring a White House cabinet meeting with each member praising him for his resilience. What are we doing America? This is so embarrassing.

@juddlegum.bsky.social: "Prior to Trump’s victory in 2024, Kushner pledged to have no foreign policy or other role in a second Trump administration. He used this promise to wave away concerns about Affinity Partners being used as a vehicle for foreign influence." open.substack.com/pub/populari...
Kushner’s Moscow mission wasn’t just corrupt. It was unconstitutional.
Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, has been traveling the world to participate in high-stakes foreign policy negotiations on behalf of the president.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

The Trump Administration’s demand to collect SNAP data isn’t about preventing waste, fraud, or abuse. It’s about weaponizing personal and sensitive data to intimidate vulnerable communities.

Tariffs are a tax we all pay. Period. That’s why I’m suing to stop them. The president does not have the authority to unilaterally raise taxes on Americans.

Yes! We need to take down Theil!! Maybe this will be the way.
I'm an observant, no-bullshit person. So I find it incredibly hard to believe that these otherwise ostensibly wealthy businessmen (mostly men) who frequented Epstein's homes and were in his circle had no idea what was going on. He did not obscure much.

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope.

She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive.

But the FDA recently denied its approval.

Now, her health hangs in the balance.

Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵
