Trump claimed the presidency cost him money. In reality, his family made $3.4 BILLION in office — $2.37B from crypto, hundreds of millions from hotels, media, & merch. The guy who ran on “draining the swamp” built the most lucrative swamp in history.

Our current sitting president is 1000x as emotional/erratic as the women candidates they tried to tell us weren't fit for office.

Isn’t it funny that being a “radical leftist “ really just means you’re grounded in reality?

This, notably from a Meta board member, is where all of this ends. The only question is how quickly we get there. But his question — and the unknown that follows — is real.
![Question from John Arnold on Twitter: What happens when the executive branch just ignores a judicial injunction, because that’s the inevitable endgame here. US Marshalls [sic] are supposed to enforce contempt of court orders but they’re under the executive branch.

Apparently, allowing Americans to file their tax returns for free is a bad thing. A big gift to the Big Tax lobby and a big middle finger to Americans.

Thank you!!!!! We need to do the work
Trump's dad lived to be 93. Trump's mom lived to be 88. Stop waiting for Trump to die and get off your ass. There is one opposition party. If you aren't working with your local Democratic Party you are just another whiner on the internet.

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here
THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be.
You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion.

Received Jonathan’s book as a Christmas gift this year. Absolutely can’t wait to read it!
“The smartphone changed from being our servant to being our master, for many people,” the social psychologist Jonathan Haidt says. What does this mean for the development of children and teens?
Jonathan Haidt Wants You to Take Away Your Kid’s Phone
The social psychologist discusses the “great rewiring” of children’s brains, why social-media companies are to blame, and how to reverse course.
