Crimer-In-Chief Donald Trump wants to steal $230 million dollars from American taxpayers, claiming he’s owed money because of his investigations and prosecutions.
His claims are absurd & we should all sue him for the pain and suffering he’s put us through over the years.

If you assume everything Trumpers do is about Epstein, you will be correct 90 percent of the time.

You need to know what might be coming.
Trump could have brought the nation together to confront political violence after the murder of Charlie Kirk.
Instead he appears to be preparing to use the shooting as a pretext to destroy his political opposition and consolidate power.

I agree with this. The whistleblower letter written on behalf of Erez Reuveni, a former DOJ senior immigration lawyer, basically describes in extensive detail a contumacious if not criminal course of conduct by Emil Bove and other senior officials at DOJ.
The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they *knew* was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ

Today's Planned Parenthood decision was a devasting blow to women, and it wasn't even about abortion. It was a devasting blow to civil rights, and it wasn't even about Civil Rights.
It's one of the worst decisions from this SCOTUS, worse than you probably think.

This is remarkable. New Quinnipiac poll finds support for path to legalization for most undocumented immigrants has risen to 64%. Only 31% want most of them deported.
That's a 14 point net swing for legalization since Trump took office.
On immigration generally, he's at 41-57!
