There is virtually no fed criminal law for wealthy people in America right now. Doesn’t exist. Trump’s DOJ either drops their charges or he pardons them. Anyone can buy their way out of prison for the right price on any charge, with crime victims left shattered with no justice.

All corporate CEOs should understand: If you agree to attend an event at the White House, you are very likely to be filmed nodding appreciatively at a delusional racist rant. If you're ok with that, go. If not, you probably should stay away.

This whole thing is awful, but Susan Dell is lab-created, right? No way she's human. The fact that this grift seems like a robot is funding it makes it even worse.
trump cuts Medicaid & food stamps, slaps his name on kid accounts & now trump lovin' Michael Dell swoops in to sprinkle cash on top. They call it empowerment. Sure. Survive the childhood Hunger Games with no safety net & if you make it to 18, congrats you win a Wall Street starter pack.

Wow! Uvalde police really do suck! This woman tried to save kids. She was not the reason, the blame, that door opened for the shooter. It had been "temperamental" in locking. She did shut it hard. Amy Marin-Franco didn't fail, Uvalde police did! Steven McGraw, especially, owes her an apology 1/2

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

The new editor of CBS News thinks that Alan Dershowitz and Dana Loesch debating the 2nd Amendment is “news.”
So, pour one out tonight for the actual journalists at CBS who have to listen to this drivel in the am news meeting
(She also says Dersh is “charismatic,” but that’s the lesser horror)
