FLASHBACK: “You spend all this time working with Saudi Arabia, you leave office—6 months later you get $2 BILLION.”
Trump’s son-in-law Kushner was asked about his corrupt SA deal, and to his annoyance, Khashoggi’s death. Feels relevant.

My legal team will be in federal court in North Carolina today fighting against the state's unconstitutional redrawn congressional map. Before you listen to those in the GOP who say we can't win, ask Texas how that worked out for them.

Remember on that date in February Trump abused and betrayed a democratic ally while on Nov. 18, he excused a brutal murder, blamed the victim and sucked up to a rich Saudi prince calling him “one of the most respected people in the world.”
Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

I can’t get over how giddy Trump was in the company of Prince Mohammed bin Salman. He only really happy when he’s in the company of rich murderers (MBS) and rapists (Epstein). Just sickening.

The provision was designed for GOP senators to sue over the Jack Smith investigation.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

We had tons of evidence that stopping MAGA's obviously very extreme insanity on immigration could have been a winning issue for Dems if they'd gone on offense on it in 2024. But now there's hard electoral results, too. More strong datapoints negating the "Dems must move right to win" crowd.
This is pretty amazing. This guy just won a solid victory in Bucks County, PA, one of the most important swing counties in the country, by *explicitly and deliberately* making his race *all about* nationalizing ICE raids. Confirms the point about this now being a winning issue for Dems.
