So many cowards and cynics on display right now. When the pendulum does swing back--and it will--don't forget where these sad and pathetic people stood in the hour of democracy's greatest need.

I’m not sharing this to scare people—though it’s fucking terrifying. I’m sharing it because we all need to be on guard.
We won’t be getting reliable data from the CDC anymore. Worse, the guidance could be harmful.

We have a president who virtually never thinks rationally, logically, or even in sequential steps. Nor can he fully comprehend causes and effects. His base of knowledge on virtually all subjects relating to governance and economics and world affairs is minimal. (1/2)

AOC: We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces — and, in many cases, their identification… The idea that we’re going to allow a paramilitary force to bloom, one that isn’t accountable to the Constitution… we’ve got another thing coming.

Erika gave birth in a Tucson hospital. Now she’s in CBP custody—separated from her newborn, isolated, & denied access to her lawyer. DHS agents are blocking Luis Campos from even speaking to her, despite him having all required paperwork.
This is cruel. This is fascism.

Nothing important here. Just a publicly-traded company disclosing to investors that it’s attempting to bribe the President of the United States by buying his cryptocurrency in order to influence his trade policy.
Company Boasts Spending Up To $20 Million On Trump Crypto Coin To Buy Influence
The arrangement puts money in Trump’s pocket in return for the opportunity to change policy — exactly the sort of pay-to-play scheme critics warned about.

The Trump administration has agreed to pay the family of Ashli Babbitt.
American taxpayers will now be forced to give likely millions of dollars to the family of a January 6 insurrectionist who stormed the Capitol.

The racist lady who called a 5 year old the “N” word used a Christian crowdfunding site to raise over $400k to “Protect” her family.
The racist nazis are out in full force. I can’t believe anyone would donate even a penny to her.
We have way too many hateful people here. 🤬

#7 - Anti-Bribery Laws Out The Window
Trump ordered the DOJ to pause enforcement of anti-bribery laws, making it easier for U.S. companies to bribe foreign officials.
Not just turning a blind eye to corruption. Tacitly authorizing it.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.
Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Ossoff: He’s so consumed by his efforts to secure revenge, crush his enemies, and conquer Greenland that he’s doing nothing for the people who elected him. His entire domestic agenda is tax breaks for the wealthy, rounding up immigrants, revenge, and centralizing as much power as he can..
