Cash bail creates a two-tiered system of justice where the wealthy can buy their way out of jail.
Cashless bail lets judges detain people based on flight risk and community threat, rather than financial means, and does not raise crime rates.
Don't fall for Trump's lies.

Mark Zuckerberg has spent $110M to buy 11 houses in one Palo Alto neighborhood.
He's turning the homes into a compound.
That's on top of his 30 bedroom, 30 bathroom compound in Hawaii and another in Lake Tahoe.
I don’t want to hear that billionaires can’t afford a wealth tax.

As anyone who lives in DC knows, it's the residents in Wards 7 & 8, south and east of the Anacostia River, who suffer most from crime.
That's exactly where Trump's show-of-force is NOT deployed: ♦️They're parading (and harassing people) where they'll be seen. NOT fighting crime.

If you know DC, what this map tell you is: They're making the gaudy show of strength in areas where it matters least and will do least good. Except for sheer spectacle.

Almost half of New York apartments are rent-stabilized. This would be a massive giveaway to landlords at the expense of renters, just so Cuomo can settle a personal beef.
Perfect example of why he should be nowhere near any kind of political power.

Parts of the Constitution were erased from the Library of Congress website, including the section featuring the foreign emoluments clause.
The removal was blamed on a "coding error."
Here's a reminder of what the clause says, just in case Congress ever decides to enforce it...

Instead, he slashed health care for 17 MILLION Americans and forced premiums to go up.
