A Korean animated movie, K-Pop Demon Hunters, KPDH, just broke all-time record for most watched movie in the History of Netflix. It’s only 92 days old, and not a big-budget film with massive …

Rich folks aren’t taxed because they have no income; you can do some of this too.

I doubt federal judges have the power to demand the president pay this, when they can't force congress to allow the payments to go through.

Not $0, not $12, not half, but 100%.
I say to President Trump: obey this court order NOW. Do not allow 16 million children to go hungry.
