Bari’s complaint was “there’s nothing new here” and while that’s untrue it’s also irrelevant

“we intentionally sent people to be tortured in a hellhole and bragged about it and The Hague is too good for everyone involved” is a story that simply cannot be told enough

If only we could cast a spell on politicians that forces them to always tell the truth. This department of Justice is full of liars.
Todd Blanche’s appearance on Meet the Press was disgraceful but clarifying. The “Department of Justice” is Donald Trump’s defense team. There can be no presumption they’re acting in good faith. One has to approach them as one approached a Soviet “Department of Justice”—as propaganda, not justice.

I can’t imagine Vance will inspire anyone to do anything, but if Trump can be elected, anyone can.

The economy is working…….for Donald T’s bank accounts.
Doing your holiday shopping this weekend? Prices for many of the most popular holiday gifts have risen an average of 26% since last year — nearly 9 times the rate of inflation.

Meanwhile, Trump’s personal net worth has soared by at least $3 billion this year.

Priorities.

This immigration policy is harmful to Americans. It doesn’t solve anything, other than show the world what a pile of racists we are.

America has fallen.
The Trump family has amassed a $4 billion fortune since his re-election.

During my time as Ambassador, I was accused of "focusing too intensely on the issue of corruption." There's no such thing.

We need leaders who serve the people — not themselves.

Part of me is waiting for this to play out. At what point do the higher ups in construction or those whose livelihood is dependent on construction speak up? It’s a matter of time.
Federal agents breaking into worksites, chasing skilled laborers and bloodying them, trapping roofers outside in subzero temperatures—and yet the construction industry isn't making a peep. Our @crampell.bsky.social explains why:

The things we take for granted, we just buy the apples at the store. Thank you to all the hard working people who make food for the rest of us possible. 💚
"Arnulfo" shares, "At this time of year it is very difficult to do this work. We work in freezing temps. On rainy days the ladders get very slippery. The work required to prune apple trees is very demanding and the low piece rate we make doesn't cover our expenses." #WeFeedYou
