These same companies have also helped create 16 billionaires.

Trump demolishing the East Wing to build a Mar-a-Lago style ballroom that’ll dwarf the WhiteHouse, while shaking down taxpayers to the tune of $230 million during a gov shutdown as Americans brace for SNAP benefits to end & healthcare premiums to explode - is fucking obscene.

Those saying “don’t take the bait” when Trump floats outrageous ideas are still ignoring a key point: The mere suggestion of such things by someone (about to be) holding the power of the presidency erodes critical norms and US credibility—and stability and security along with it.

Elon Musk just announced that X will start penalizing negativity and propping up posts that are positive. This is definitely interesting timing, given the fact that X essentially rewarded negativity when Biden was president, but is shifting to penalize negativity under Trump.

Hours after the killings took place, Trump incorrectly claimed that the attack was enabled by the Biden administration’s immigration policies, insinuating that Jabbar was not a U.S.-born citizen.

Resigning from Congress should not allow Members to avoid accountability for allegations as serious as those faced by Matt Gaetz.
The Ethics Committee has often released reports on former Members.
That's why I'm forcing a vote on the release of the Gaetz Report.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel calls out Pete Hegseth, RFK Jr., and Linda McMahon in a new op-ed:
[Trump's] cabinet picks show disdain for victims of sex assault.
"With these nominations, we are telling survivors of sexual assault that they don't matter, that their trauma is meaningless and that they should stay silent. And they will." freep.com/story/opinion/cont…

Mueller didn’t say he was innocent.
Cannon didn’t say he was innocent.
Merchan didn’t say he was innocent.
Chutkan didn’t say he was innocent.
Jack Smith didn’t say he was innocent.
He got away with all of it.
And not a one of them said he was innocent of any of it.
Not one.

Trump Refuses to Disclose Who Is Funding His Transition. He is the first president-elect not to sign an ethics agreement that sets fundraising limits and transparency. “This failure undercuts the fundamental purpose of presidential transition laws,” Elizabeth Warren wrote. rollingstone.com/politics/po…
