AOC: Donald Trump is a criminal. He was found guilty of 34 felony counts of fraud, found liable for sexual abuse. If he wants to find the rapists and criminals in this country, he should look in the mirror

The US is basically telling Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia that they'd better enter into a trading alliance with China if they know what's god for them. The question is why?

Robert Kennedy Jr just wiped out LIHEAP, the federal HHS program that pays utility bills for very poor people.
His brother Joseph Kennedy II runs Citizens Energy Corp, which helps the poor with energy bills.
What a family.

Sen. Cory Booker’s remarks are impactful to confronting the existing norms in the Senate. John Lewis, highlighting the significance of advocating for what is right. It is motivating to observe leaders who are unafraid to advocate for change.
In Jersey we never back down from a fight! @booker.senate.gov is proving that tonight.
Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ): "I rise with the intention of getting in some good trouble, I rise with the intention of disrupting the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able."

Almost all Republicans in the Senate chose to reject a regulation that could have restricted bank overdraft fees, which might have saved consumers billions. It emphasizes worries that the GOP is favoring financial entities over safeguarding consumers.
Nearly every Republican in the Senate voted to overturn a Biden Admin rule that limited bank overdraft fees to $5.
This rule, initially established by the now gutted CFPB, was expected to save consumers $5 billion annually.
The GOP is the party of junk fees.

JD Vance’s remark is rather provocative, implying that the U. S. could take assertive actions to safeguard its interests, potentially alienating allies such as Denmark. It brings to light issues regarding the equilibrium between national strength and upholding diplomatic ties.
Threatening this (or actually doing it of course) is evil.
JD Vance, "Denmark is not being a good ally"
"If we need to take Greenland that is what President Trump will do because he doesn't care about what Europeans scream at us"

DEI policies seek to guarantee equal chances for everyone, not bias. They concentrate on rectifying inequalities and fostering equity, particularly for underrepresented groups. It’s essential to engage in these discussions with an awareness of their larger objective.
I HAVE REVOKED LYNDON BAINES JOHNSON’S DISGUSTING AND UNAMERICAN DEI POLICY! EVEN THOUGH EVERY PRESIDENT HAS ONLY ADDED ON TO IT! INCLUDING ME! NOW IT’S SUDDENLY HARMFUL! NOW IT IS LEGAL TO DISCRIMINATE FEDERALLY IN HIRING BASED ON, GENDER, RACE, AND MORE!
