Pritzker on Fox: "He's challenging the integrity of the next election by sending troops into our cities. It isn't about fighting crime. He said he's going after the worst of the worst. That's not what they're doing. They are literally after black and brown people because of the color of their skin."

The White House is selling influence & corporations are standing in line to cozy up to the president. While the average American is left with unaffordable healthcare, housing, high prices & low wages. Guess who’s getting fu*ked !

This federal gambling takedown is absolutely wild. Mafia soldiers, an NBA coach, rigged poker games with crooked shuffling machines and hidden cameras…and an allegation that an NBA player fixed a game to profit from a bet.

Folks better wake up & stop giving former military members a free pass as candidate for congress. This is not your dad’s military. Even the generals don’t pass muster.

The president just destroyed the east wing of the White House without permission from the public or congress. The idea of that happening seemed absurd, but here we are. He’s conducting business like a mob boss.

Despite illegally killing at least 34 people accused of being "narco-terrorists", the Trump administration is not serious about stopping the flow of drugs into the US

The number of drug-related prosecutions and investigations have fallen to the lowest level in decades

Trump is making us LESS safe

The republicans choke hold on the middle class is just getting worse. While the wealthy continue to benefit from republicans policies. Don’t see anything positive happening in the future for the middle class.

Maybe this is obvious to everyone but…why does the White House need a ballroom? It has enough space for state dinners, no? Is this for dances? Weddings? Storing classified documents?

Just confused so the reason would be helpful thx

Why is Apple, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and others financing the destruction of the WH and desecration of the grounds, something that is infuriating to huge chunk of the American population? Do you hate your customers that much?

Corporate America is absolutely giving the American people the big fu*k you. Buying influence with Trump is much more important than the democracy. We’re down with criminals.
