Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

Sen. Tim Kaine tells federal employees to ignore Trump’s offer to quit with pay for months. “Don’t be fooled. He’s tricked hundreds of people with that offer. If you accept that offer and resign he’ll stiff you just like he stiffed the contractors. He doesn’t have any authority to do this.”

Trump hates honest people. Because he is corrupt. Honest people don’t allow crooks to get away with their crimes. Like how Alexander Vindman blew the whistle on him trying to extort Zelenskyy for fictitious dirt on Biden.

It took all of *one week* before top Republican donors pivoted to the real prize of Trump’s election: the prospect of extending Trump’s tax breaks for the ultrawealthy.
It was never about lowering prices. It was always about lining the pockets of Trump’s donors.
