So proud of Maryland's senators, calling out the fact that an unelected, unqualified, private person without security clearance, who doesn't care about workers is trying to take over the Social Security Administration! #fightback
🚨We’re at the Social Security Administration HQ in Baltimore to make clear that we won't allow Musk and his cronies to attack federal workers and interfere with the Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid benefits of working Americans.

The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days.

The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years.

‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades.

So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?

With Elon Musk, an unelected plutocrat, six weeks from becoming co-President of the United States, many people are just starting to research who he really is—that is, beyond the basics most already know.

Or, rather, think they know—as most of those basics are untrue.

This thread reveals the truth.

They paid for RFK Jr’s endorsement.

Plain and simple.

…Not even trying to hide it.
The Trump campaign paid a law firm employing RFK Jr. $100,000 in the weeks after Jr. endorsed Trump.

The campaign made *no* other payments to that firm during the 2023-24 election cycle.

No parties involved responded to NBC News' requests for comment. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

A trans person didn’t deny your health insurance claim, a giant corporation did.

An asylum seeker didn’t raise your rent, a billionaire’s private equity firm did.

Our focus must be taking on the billionaires & corporate greed.

Pardoning his son isn't what ruined Biden's legacy. It happened the minute he decided to run for a second term. And the notion that Trump will be "emboldened" by anything other than his own sick motivation is the most laughable thing I've ever heard.

The Trump ordeal has made one thing clear.

Too many of our checks and balances rely on norms, traditions and the honor code.

It works when those elected into power are people of honor and integrity who respect our norms and traditions.

Elect a lifelong criminal and it all goes sideways.

POTUS Biden's drug seizures, at the border, were 10×'s THE AMOUNT COMPARED to what the first Trump Administration seized at the border.

Numbers don't lie.

Trump does.
During President Biden's term, border seizures of the drug rose sharply, with U.S. officials tallying about 21,900 pounds (12,247 kilograms) of fentanyl seized in the 2024 government budget year, versus 2,545 pounds (1,154 kilograms) in 2019, when Trump was president.

But sure, Trump will fix it…

"Here the numbers as they actually exist in the real world:

Transgender: 1 percent

Muslim: 1 percent

Jewish: 2 percent

Black: 12 percent

Live in New York City: 2 percent

Gay or lesbian: 3 percent"

If they're this divorced from reality I guarantee these folks cannot conceive magnitude of $1bn
“In 2022, YouGov asked “What percentage of Americans do you think are ___?”

The results were hilarious.

Trans: 21%
Muslim: 27%
Jewish: 30%
Black: 41%
Live in NYC: 30%
Gay or lesbian: 30%

The errors are off by orders of magnitude. The trans estimation by 2,000%.”

Trump has yet to sign the ethics agreement required for the presidential transition, allowing him to raise unlimited amounts of money from unknown donors to pay for the staff, travel, and office space involved in preparing to take over the government.
