And they want to name streets for the creep who went to colleges to groom more of these monsters.

Americans have gotten more than $21 billion back in their bank accounts after being cheated and scammed by big corporations, thanks to the CFPB.

But Trump and his Administration love grifters and scammers.

So they're trying to kill the agency holding them accountable.

I hope all the maga farmers and flood victims can find a way to feel happy for the wall streeters who got bailed out through trump’s Argentina scam.

Elections aren’t every 4 years or every 2 years, they’re every year. In California we have a special election for prop 50 and it’s a YES. If Texas can gerrymander then we should be able to. I know my comments will be filled with bots, but I won’t be intimidated. Our democracy is vanishing❤️

As usual, trump is selling chicken sh*t labeled as chicken salad and the media is buying it! We can smell the BS!

Katy often finds a backhanded way to blame Democrats. Nancy Pelosi correctly labeled her a Trump apologist.

TUR: Have you met with Mike Johnson?

JEFFRIES: No

TUR: Why not?

JEFFRIES: Donald Trump has not given him permission to meet, Katy and we know that until Donald Trump gives them permission to meet, they're going to continue to hide.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Donald Trump just got a COVID booster at Walter Reed, per the White House physician.

Let’s be clear this is the same guy who downplayed the virus, mocked masks, and turned lifesaving vaccines into a political wedge that cost hundreds of thousands of lives.

This is what ice is doing

The Bulwark @thebulwark.com · 6d

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

@timmiller.bsky.social talked to a veteran who ICE wrongly detained and brutalized

Ari Melber always takes the time to hold democrats' feet to the flames while Trump burns down our country.

Ari or ‘AIR HEAD’ MELBER. How about fact CHECKING Donald Trump now !

HOW many times has Trump lied and said he won the 2024 election ‘by a landslide’. All Trump won by is 1.5% of the vote.

That was a total bunch of BS! Fox News has it made with friends like Ari over at MSNBC to validate their stories.

I think that gives him too much credit. We can’t blame it on dementia, it’s pure criminality.
