Median income in America: $83,000. Median home price: $400,000. The math doesn’t work. You can’t afford the house. This is the richest country in the world on a per capita basis, but the wealth is so top-heavy that middle and lower income people are skipping dental appointments, skipping doctor visits, and driving around with dented cars because they can’t risk the insurance premium going up. It’s not getting better. It’s worsening. And nobody in power seems to think that’s a problem worth solving.

I’ll stipulate that Trump is an agent of Putin. Go down the checklist. 1. Destroyed the Western alliance? Putin wanted that. 2. Threatened a NATO ally over Greenland? Putin wanted that. 3. Pulled out of the intermediate nuclear pact? Putin wanted that. 4. Withdrawing 25-40,000 troops from Western Europe while Russian bellicosity is rising? Putin wanted that. 5. Russian satellites giving coordinates to Iranians killing our soldiers, and his response is “they kill us, we kill them”? What American president says that? I think he’s been compromised. The election of Donald Trump may be the greatest foreign policy success in post-Czarist Russian history.

New: The Trump administration committed the U.S. to taking a large stake in a Venezuelan company, some of whose owners and investors are shielded from public view. The exact details of the agreement over oil fields had remained unclear — until now. propub.li/3UdAtIG

@LauraLoomer is one of the few. She has 100x more courage than people like @mikepompeo, @EzraACohen, and @SenTomCotton. I mean, Putin killed a baby in a stroller yesterday, Trump praised him anyway, and they still can’t criticize Trump by name. Someone should check their T-levels.

I think we’re gonna see stories like this come out in droves now. It’s just one giant corrupt grift. We should all rewatch the Sopranos….

While your costs continue to rise, the President and everyone around him are getting rich — selling pardons, selling contracts, pilfering your taxpayer dollars. It is a veritable den of thieves. The GOP could not care less. But an accounting is coming.

NEWS: While working at Trump’s Justice Department, Alina Habba accepted a $50 million bribe to help a billionaire banker charged with bribery get a pardon from Trump. Weeks after she started cashing his checks, Trump handed him a full pardon, and nobody in this administration batted an eye. Lock them all up and throw away the key.

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

GOP Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick says if Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of Starlink in Ukraine, "that is likely a violation of the law." "We've gotta investigate...We've got to call the witnesses, got to bring them in, put them under oath, and get to the bottom of it. Because this is this is a very, very serious matter. It cannot be glossed over."

So this was a lie
Replying to @FedorovMykhailo
Starshield systems are owned and controlled by the US government. Any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS. Starlink is a commercial service owned and controlled by SpaceX. Usage of Starlink is limited to civilian or defensive activities and cannot be used for offensive military action, as doing so would be inappropriate for a commercial company.

Sen. Warren responds to WSJ report that Elon Musk ordered the Starlink slowdown in Ukraine: "We'd like to know exactly who is responsible for what happened. If it is one man, Elon Musk, who is dictating our foreign policy, then he puts the U.S. at enormous risk."

Alina Habba got a million dollar a month job ( she isn't qualified for ) for helping a billionaire get a Trump pardon. The same people that wouldn't stfu about Hunter Biden are making him look like an angel.
BREAKING: A billionaire wanted a Trump pardon. His family gave Alina Habba a $50 million deal. Julio Herrera Velutini's daughter hired Habba -- then a senior adviser to Pam Bondi at the Justice Department -- at $10 million a year for four years plus bonuses. He got his pardon not long after.

WSJ: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of the military-grade Starlink network used by Ukraine, according to U.S. officials and people familiar with the matter. Trump and Musk have both expressed anger at Ukraine for attacking Russian diesel refineries, which Trump blames for high energy prices. Last week, Musk capped the connection speeds of Ukrainian devices, rendering some attack drones and interceptor drones virtually useless.
