It's now been over a month since Trump sent innocent man Andry Hernández to one of the world's worst prisons because of "Mom" and "Dad" tattoos. Like the others, he is being imprisoned with no contact with the outside world.
Don't let him be forgotten.

“Transitioning” from 50 straight months of job growth, a 400% rise in manufacturing construction and the best back-to-back years for the stock market in a quarter century. 🤡
Mike Johnson: "We're transitioning from Bidenomics and the terrible economy that was delivered by the last administration. It takes a while to turn that ship around."

🚨 BREAKING: This is beyond outrageous. Elon Musk, his cranky mother Maye, and one of his young kids were chauffeured in Air Force One and Marine One—straight to the White House, where they’re apparently staying.

Trumpers getting increasingly open about being criminals
Lawyers for President Trump in line to take top jobs at the Justice Department sparred with Democrats over whether the administration could simply ignore some court orders — an early skirmish in a larger fight over the White House’s efforts to claim more sweeping presidential powers.
Justice Dept. Nominees Suggest Some Court Orders Can Be Ignored
At a confirmation hearing, the nominees, two of whom have been Trump defense lawyers, offered little to assuage Democrats’ fears.

The Trump administration has ordered the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to stop nearly all its work, effectively shutting down an agency that was created to protect consumers after the 2008 financial crisis and subprime mortgage-lending scandal. https://buff.ly/42NeEl6

I’m confused how awarding 4 years of back pay in a lump sum to 8,000 service members who were discharged for refusing to get vaccinated is good for the morale of the other 99% of troops who spent the last 4 years working their asses off on active duty for that same pay.

On this special day, I honor Martin Luther King Jr..
Today I am thanking God for the example of Martin Luther King Jr, an extraordinary hero of justice.
In 1964, aged just 35, he won the Nobel Peace Prize for his civil rights work. Four years later, he was shot and killed for the same reason.

Not looking to politicize what happened in New Orleans in any capacity, however the lead in the investigation is none other than the outstanding men and women of the FBI. The same organization that Kash Patel is nominated to lead and wants to abolish. Think about that for a moment.
