Watch this. Then remember that the president doesn’t care. He cares that his old ass gets richer in the hand full of years he may have left.
And his sick rich friends. The most corrupt evil man to ever serve as president is ignoring real evil

💔 A European Parliament interpreter could not hold back tears during the speech of 11-year-old Roman Oleksiv from Lviv.
The boy survived a missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, which killed his mother - it was the last time he saw her alive.

Trump says he knows “Very little” about former Honduran President Hernández, whom he pardoned last week.
Asked whether pardoning someone sentenced to 45 years for flooding the U.S. with cocaine sends the wrong message to drug dealers, Trump said: “No.”

So now MTG is worried that Trump's hateful rhetoric can incite violence. I'm sorry she and her son have been threatened. But Trump has been doing this to others for years, and it apparently never bothered MTG. It's very MAGA to only care about stochastic terrorism when you're the target.
The president who watched Jan. 6 violence on TV and responded to Kevin McCarthy's desperate call from inside the Capitol with "well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you" doesn't think death threats against anyone even a little in his way is a bad thing?
Huh.
Huh.
Marjorie Taylor Greene claims she shared with Trump death threat she received that he incited, and his response was "extremely unkind"

Donald Trump has unilaterally decided that one of America's largest media companies must be sold to one of his cronies. Here's why America has a liberal media bias problem.

Finland ended homelessness with a housing first strategy that gave people apartments before they secured employment
Now they’re proposing a 4 day work week and 6 hour work days
True work life balance
Meanwhile in the US, people work two jobs and can’t afford food or healthcare.

NEW: We sent a letter demanding that ICE end immigration detention at Fort Bliss, the same facility used to intern people of Japanese descent during World War II.
People detained at this facility are denied adequate food, medical care, and are physically and sexually abused by the guards.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.
