Why should you care that the president’s appointees at DOJ, including his former personal attorneys, could decide whether he gets a $230M payout directly to him? Because that money is coming directly from all of us, the U.S. taxpayers.

A Jan 6th rioter pardoned by Trump has been charged with threatening House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who spoke during the No Kings rallies.

“Hakeem Jeffries makes a speech in a few days in NYC I cannot allow this terrorist to live,” the pardoned rioter wrote.

the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction
