I write books. Some people read them. I think “We the people…” means more than rich white guys. Shy about DMs.

“You enter legally, and suddenly, because of someone else’s whim, you’re illegal. It doesn’t make sense.”
I wrote about the hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan TPS holders losing legal status overnight as a result of the Trump administration's mass deportation push.

My reaction to that completely batshit press briefing by Tulsi Gabbard in which she accused Obama of “treasonous conspiracy” is that whatever is in the Epstein files about Trump must be really really bad

Rep. Andy Ogles -- who apparently lied about his undergrad major, his fake graduate degrees, his past careers variously as an economist, a cop, and an expert in international sex crimes and so much more -- says that if another politician "fudged" about his own past then he should be deported.
Ogles on Trump's big bill: "Now, ICE is gonna have the personnel and resources to come into cities like Nashville and New York and quite frankly deport people ... if Zohran fudged on his immigration forms, we may very well be deporting him. Time will tell."

Remember when Trump promised that on day one grocery and gas prices would be lower, the war in Ukraine would be over, and there would be peace in the Middle East? LMFAO.

Killing 300,000 children seems very non pro-life to me. Maybe the pro-lifers need to admit they’re more pro-birth because that whole life thing doesn’t seem to be their priority.

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings.
It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me

Just a reminder that even while being Putin’s petulant stooge and shaming our country Trump is also inevitably a liar.
Zelenky stood in front of the American government, in the seat of our democracy, and thanked our entire nation. Every farmer, teacher, engineer, nurse, and cop. Thanked us on behalf of his entire country. youtu.be/7gjwlCe5T6M?...
