Yes, keep telling trumpers they’ve been conned. It’s true.
Jasmine Crockett: “People are understanding it’s not good to have a con man as commander in chief — People are frustrated because the cost of everything is going up. We’ve lost 1.1M jobs since he swore in just in January — People are not happy with anything that is going on”

In one ancient Irish fable, the robin is called the Fire Bringer, saving fire for early humans after a wolf tried to extinguish it. The bird fanned the dying embers back to life, scorching its breast in the process and bringing fire back to the world.
Art my own.

🎄A Christmas retort: Dear Trump—I am not scum. I’m part of the California machine that supports Red States even if they hate what we stand for. They would wither without our dollars and generosity. I do this gladly, because I care about all people regardless of their beliefs. You should try it.

Over the past year, Trump has increased the net worth of his businesses by $3 billion. Think of how the crypto and artificial intelligence industries now dominate Congress. It is a fusion of public power and private wealth alien to the American experience.
