There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

The EPA started ordering some of its departments to immediately halt publishing research reports. I'm convinced the Trump regime is trying to kill us.

8 years later and not a single person has been put on trial for Grenfell, even though a report a year ago listed all the people involved, and what they did or didn't do.
They don't want to convict them, because they are rich.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.
That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.
So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?
