The fact that a criminal is returning to the White House without facing consequences for his actions should be an outrage to every American. And the cowardice shown by billionaires and politicians kowtowing to him is disgusting. Where the hell is our moral compass?

The thing about measles is that it’s the only known virus that triggers immune amnesia - it causes your immune system to forget everything it has previously learned. Meaning you essentially reset to zero and are now at risk of basically everything.
It can take 2-3 years to get immunities back.

Each semester I go in my classroom and I try to figure out what we would use to block the doors, if it would be safe to crawl out the windows, where we could hide if there was a mass shooter in campus. It’s such an indictment of this country how we have normalized these preventable tragedies.

I want to reiterate that it is ABSURD that WE BORROW money to give to Israel,
when they are perfectly capable of borrowing themselves.
We put OUR children in debt, so that their kids live debt free.
They have free education & health care. WE DON’T!
On what PLANET does that make sense?

If Greg Bovino does not go to prison for the rest of his life after this regime is ousted, we do not have a real country or rule of law. I'm skeptical we still have either at this point, but that will be a good indicator post Trump regime of whether we have serious people in charge again

Hi hello the Venezuela stuff is entirely about oil, both in Venezuela and in Guyana (where Venezuela is laying claim to the oil in what is now Exxon’s largest oilfield, which Chevron has also bought into). It is the bidding of US oil majors and it’s not remotely subtle.

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 on Americans' healthcare costs going up by 200-300%: "Don't make it sound so bad"
Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?
TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.
