Look at who is number two on this list of largest donors to the 2024 Presidential election.
Uh, yes there is.

And it raises more questions about the recent *complete* lack of U.S. government integrity.

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

The Ministry of Plenty has reduced our chocolate ration from 30g to 20g after promising there would be no reduction in the ration.
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

This is the type of courage we need from community and law enforcement leaders to protect vulnerable residents and citizens.

We still don't know if masked LDE thugs claiming to be ICE, CBP, or DHS bounty hunters are who they say they are, so we must assume the worst and protect all.
Finally someone with a backbone‼️
ICE is the modern day Gestapo‼️

In the richest country in the history of the world, you should be able to afford to see a doctor when you get sick.

But Republicans are doing nothing to stop rising health insurance costs or to help people pay them. Republican indifference will have deadly consequences for our people.

A repost reminded me of this story of an Irish tourist, so I'm sharing it again. No one is safe until everyone is safe from this terrorize and torture shitshow.

Listen to the testimonies during this shadow hearing about abuse while in dhs/ice detention. And keep fighting.

NEW: An Irish tourist visiting the US was jailed by ICE for 3 months after overstaying 3 days due to medical issue. Thomas agreed to be deported, but instead went to federal prison where he recounted horrific conditions + no medical care.

don't worry, john roberts says this is a legitimate exercise of presidential power and if we did anything to curb it, we would be robbing the executive of the energy he needs to do his job
Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”

In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

What Senator Cotton says here would be a bad defense for the Germans convicted in WWI and WWII war crimes trials -- including for firing on shipwrecked in fully operational lifeboats.

This line of response hurts the US and US servicemembers. It will cause long-term damage unless we get this right.
WELKER: Lawmakers say the 2 men appeared to raise their arms potentially to surrender. Why did Admiral Bradley interpret these actions as anything other than them trying to survive?

Contrary to the shadow docket ruling by Maga 6 that racial profiling of Latinos and other brown ethnicities was totes fine, they don't seem to have the same aggressive disregard for white European immigrants w/ actual expired or lapsed status.

Again, kavanaugh is a racist pos. He knows what he did.
We are underreacting to this‼️

We have no explanation on SCOTUS decisions affecting our lives.

The emergency docket, aka “shadow docket,” is the quiet backdoor of the Supreme Court. Decisions drop fast, with little explanation, and Trump is hammering it harder than anyone in modern history.
