President Trump is reportedly trucking dirt from his White House demolition to a D.C. golf course he plans to take over.

If any other president was doing this kind of thing in office, they’d be eviscerated with accusations of greed, or at least a lack of focus. trib.al/7vXIQ6Q

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

There’s only been one lawsuit filed against the devastating destruction of the White House.

One.

And it’s by Virginia couple, Charles and Judith Voorhees.

Not Congress, not historical (or any) institutions, but a citizen couple.

We continue to be the resistance.

Republicans control all 3 branches of the government and claim they’re leading us into a “Golden Age.” But they can’t figure out how to end a government shutdown, and they want us to blame the party that controls exactly zero branches of government.

On Threads, the AP promoted this story with the caption: “Anti-abortion pregnancy centers offer much more than free ultrasounds and diapers. Here's why they're expanding as Planned Parenthood clinics close.” Do better @apnews.com
Once again, this kind of “both sides” coverage of crisis pregnancy centers is simply not going to cut it, because on one “side” we have medical and scientific consensus—and basic facts—and on the other “side” we have disinformation. Giving these perspectives equal weight is journalistic malpractice
Anti-abortion pregnancy centers are looking to offer much more than ultrasounds and diapers
More anti-abortion pregnancy centers have been offering medical services such as testing for sexually transmitted infections.

Jeffries on a death threat made against him by a pardoned J6 criminal: "Not a single Republican has reached out to me since that incident occurred, and that's no surprise because they cannot defend the fact that Donald Trump pardoned hundreds of violent felons who brutally beat police officers."

Some more details:
-a 1-time, 5% wealth tax on billionaires currently living in the state
-affects around 200 people
-moving won't matter; based on 2025 residency
-billionaires earn 7.5%/yr, they'd still come out ahead
-yields enough to cover the Medicaid gap for 5 years & have some $ left for K-12
California is readying a one-time 5% tax on billionaires for the 2026 ballot that would go toward compensating for Trump's Medicaid cuts. The architects see it as a national model.
It will be announced today.

BREAKING: Jack Smith is insisting upon a public hearing if Congress wants to talk to him

Good. Why does the GOP want backroom secret questioning? What are Republicans afraid of?

Let the American people see & hear for themselves!

@duckworth.senate.gov Please demand answers!!!
🧵Let's talk about the obvious:

Where in the fuck did all the historic artwork and priceless furnishings go, including the gold leaf Steinway piano that was presented to FDR from the Steinway family?

Did Trump steal all this when he demolished the East Wing?

Why aren't Dems demanding to know?

I am looking forward to this hearing.

It will provide an excellent opportunity to remind people of all the reasons why Donald Trump should he serving a long federal prison term.
