Trump’s oil tanker seizure looks remarkably like piracy, or, as it seems the USA and Venezuela are in conflict, privateerism, with king Trump issuing a letter of marque to the US military. Very C17th.

Trump Aid Cuts Kill More Christians Than Jihadists Do
Murderous attacks on Christians and Muslims alike are a real problem in Nigeria. Cutting humanitarian assistance there is even more lethal.

Newsom: "It's not about rule of law anymore. It's rule of Don. He's choosing which court decisions he agrees with. He's quite literally running an extortion racket. He's doing it with some of the most powerful corporate leaders. What does everything have in common? Tariffs. They're about leverage"

The wealthy say they are terrified of the national debt, but they aren't really. It only exists because they don't pay enough tax, and they'd hate doing that even more.

The wealthy might say they hate the national debt, but they don't because we pay them for it.

Trump promised to "drain the swamp" but instead he's filling it with billionaire buddies who are getting a FREE RIDE on the backs of working people! The GOP tax scam is a betrayal of the American people!

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government.
But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes.
Where is the outrage over that?
