Warnock: "Any nation that tolerates this kind of violence year after year, decade after decade in random places, on our college and school campuses, without doing all that we can to stop it is broken and in need of moral repair."

If Bondi was a little bit smarter, she would've told Trump to let her have a Stupid Division in the DOJ for Trump's unwinnable cases and keep the rest of the DOJ staffed with experienced and qualified lawyers.

(Reposting my critique of this outcome bc my prior post contained unintentional errors.) The House Dems are giving the ranking member gavel for an Appropriations subcommittee back to Henry Cuellar, after Trump pardoned him. Politics has an accountability crisis.

“PRO-LIFE” AND “SAVE THE CHILDREN” HUH?

EXPLAIN THIS SHIT THEN.

“AFTER THE SEX ACT, BOTH MINORS WERE FORCED TO ORALLY COPULATE DEFENDANT TRUMP BY PLACING THEIR MOUTHS SIMULTANEOUSLY ON HIS ERECT PENIS… AFTER ZIPPING UP… PHYSICALLY PUSHED THE MINORS… ANGRILY BERATING THEM FOR THE ‘POOR’ QUALITY…”

Kristi Noem claimed a few months ago that they arrested the girlfriend of the leader of Antifa and that was going to lead to the prosecution of the entire “organization.” What happened with that? Any updates?

In 1993, Trump signed mortgages for 2 homes in Florida, claiming each as his principal residence.
He does not appear to have ever lived in either, let alone used them as a principal residence. They were investment properties & rented out.
Yet he accuses others of fraud?

Trump has made America a place people fear, a place people don’t like, don’t trust, don’t want to do business with, and don’t want to visit. He’s made America a place people laugh at, a place that’s cruel & bigoted. America, under Trump, is no longer a destination. It’s a place to be avoided.

Everyday Americans get nickel and dimed while the rich dodge taxes.

They struggle to get by while the wealth of the 1% skyrockets.

They see their voices drowned out while the well-connected avoid accountability.

There are two sets of rules in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

When Scott Hussey heard about the Trump administration’s eagerness to pay for workout equipment in airports, he could not find an upside.

“It just struck me as being kind of absurd for multiple reasons,” he said.
Working out at the airport? Some fliers can already smell the sweat.
Sean Duffy and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would love to see pull-up bars in airport terminals. Some fliers can already smell the BO.
