Qatar’s GDP is $213 billion.

A $1.2 Trillion investment is a laughable lie.
Does anyone actually believe this- from the official WH page

Busting up big corporations. 

Tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics. 

Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.

Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare...

This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.

Raskin: He destroyed more than $10 trillion in American wealth in a single week. And then he went golfing and bragged to America about winning the tournament at his own golf course. That's like bragging about being endorsed by your own campaign manager. So much winning

I bears repeating that the reprehensible Pam Bondi is just making up lies about the innocent people she is condemning to a life of torture. Most of them did not commit *any* crimes--unlike Pam Bondi, who took a bribe as a public official. She is downright evil.
Bondi on Boasberg: "Those inmates, those violent gang members, those violent alien enemies will remain in El Salvador. He cannot get them back, so his jurisdiction is over ... going forward, these terrorists better look out."
