Bullshit. Canceling all student debt would improve the lives of 45 million Americans. Wanna pay for it? Tax the damn Wall Street speculators who made you obscenely rich, Larry, the same guys you helped bail out. And by doing that we could also make public colleges tuition free.

Every dollar spent on student loan relief is a dollar that could have gone to support those who don’t get the opportunity to go to college.

It's pretty simple: 1. Donald Trump had no business taking the top secret materials he did. 2. DOJ+National Archives, like every other institution that has confronted Trump for 50+ years, waited too long and granted Trump special accomodations which only compounded the crisis.

This is a first for me, sharing a Fox News article. But I must admit, it's very well done, explaining the specifics quite well. foxnews.com/opinion/trump-ma…
The Trump Mar-a-Lago search was justified

The Trump Mar-a-Lago search was justified

It's time to get to the truth about the FBI search of former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home. This is not tyranny or political persecution.

Approximately 9,000 transgender Floridians woke up today to find out they no longer have life-saving Medicaid coverage. DeSantis bypassed the legislature and weaponized state agencies against his own constituents for simply minding their own business. This is not freedom.

Have you noticed America always just magically finds money whenever it needs to fund wars or justify military costs, but we don't have money for people? We must bail out corrupt Wall St banks that caused a recession but can't help 45 million Americans with student loan debt.

BREAKING: Trump is representing HIMSELF, with no lawyer at all, in his case against the United States regarding the search of Mar-a-Lago and recovery of government records. The legal term is “pro se” - for himself. He could not find anyone to represent him.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Per fact checking, Trump's team made an error in the initial filling. It has since been updated to include his legal representation. The story that he was appears to have arisen from Twitter per Newsweek reporting. newsweek.com/fact-check-don…

Nothing to see here. The climate is fine. The climate change-denying Republicans in charge of Texas are totally the right people to be in charge. Move along, move along…
