Absolutely remember him, the inner circle's work to hide his Alzheimer's while Nancy assumed his duties. There is a lot more I remember, all negative, including that he initiated income taxing our Social Security. I never understand why he is held up as a great president.

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it.

I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

Trump is paying El Salvador millions of dollars per year to house these deportees. Has anybody thought to look into the arrangement itself? What are the terms of the contract? Where is the money coming from? Is the agreement even legal?

The White House reportedly wants to recruit corporate sponsors for its annual Easter Egg Roll.

The financial backers could spend as much as $200,000 on a "sponsorship" and gain exclusive access to the Oval Office.

Is there anything that's not for sale under Trump?

After curtailing trans rights in order to "protect women," the Trump administration announces it will also "protect women" by *checks notes* eliminating funding to prevent violence against women.

By pardoning the most violent January 6th attackers, Trump is telling them to commit more violence in his name, and if and when they do — he will protect them.
