There is virtually no fed criminal law for wealthy people in America right now. Doesn’t exist. Trump’s DOJ either drops their charges or he pardons them. Anyone can buy their way out of prison for the right price on any charge, with crime victims left shattered with no justice.

@americanair.bsky.social charging 24 DOLLARS for 2 hours of wifi for each computer is just obscene. Pure price gouging and greed.

In the end, it didn’t cut government spending, and there was no promised “savings.” In the end, DOGE destroyed countless lives, ravaged American soft power, killed hundreds of thousands of people around the world (soon millions), & stole your data.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

Yesterday, President Trump tried to justify the murder of Jamal Khashoggi by saying "things happen."
Today, Senate Republicans blocked a resolution that condemned his murder.
The Republican party's refusal to stand up for a free & fair press endangers journalists worldwide.

ICE has arrested about 600 immigrants in the city of Chicago. You know how many of them have criminal records? Sixteen.
They promised to secure the border and remove anybody who was violent — and they lied.

Why are Republicans in the House and Senate so afraid to bring Jack Smith before their committees to testify in public under oath before the American people? Isn’t that what MAGA wants? Don’t you want to “expose” him? What’s going on here?
