Just a reminder that Trump is selling Venezuelan oil and depositing the proceeds into a bank account in Qatar that is NOT under any control by the US government or Congress.
He's just stealing it. It really is that simple.

MSM needs to STOP reporting everything Trump says like it’s the GOSPEL truth. They need to do their due diligence like real Journalists! They’re irresponsible with their coverage of this President & his Cabinet Officials. They don’t question ANYTHING. Trump saying something doesn’t make it a law!

Remember that sociopathic boy who sat in the back of the class in 10th grade who talked back2teachers, made straight Fs, threw spitballs, teased disabled kids, bullied the smaller kids&touched girls inappropriately—but got away with it because his dad was rich? He’s the sociopathic “President” now.

5 years later, a stubborn fight over the basic facts of the Jan. 6 riot
The physical damage from the Capitol riot has been repaired — and President Trump has pardoned almost every defendant. What remains is a battle over the basic facts.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

@cbsnews.com Journalism is not a daily conversation. Journalism is a presentation of known substantiated facts, not conversations. The opinions are punditry. In some instances propaganda and demagoguery. Is that where you're taking us. Because what you're describing is not journalism.

Because of a conspiracy theory-based stunt by a January 6 insurrectionist who was trying to intimidate children and daycare workers, Trump is now freezing ALL childcare payments across the country.

One of the most successful propaganda campaigns of our time is the right-wing claim that liberals dominate the media. The right has pushed this myth for decades on Fox and other outlets. You know about it because RIGHT-WING MEDIA HAVE A HUGE MEGAPHONE. My thread. 1/10 🧵

Any left-leaning by front-line journalists is outweighed by owners and top execs of news outlets who lean right. You see this in their investment in business news vs. coverage of the environment and poverty, and in many other ways. It adds up to an over-all media picture that is NOT LIBERAL. 7/10 🧵

Fuck those Nazi assholes.
This is authoritarian rot in plain sight. A DOJ weaponized against “enemies” of a sitting president isn’t law enforcement — it’s vengeance. That’s how democracies die: not overnight, but when power decides dissent is a crime.

JFK in 1960 defined a liberal as someone who who fights for justice and civil rights, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigidity, who defends the vulnerable, and acts with principle. His bold words still challenge every one of us to stand up and do what's right.
