Heard about this earlier, and my jaw didn’t drop. You know who else isn’t surprised? Pretty much every Republican.

As someone who’s been a frequent target, none of this shocks me. I don’t expect real consequences from the right because I doubt today is the first day they heard about it.

The UAE bought $2B of Trump’s crypto — and gets computer chips

Saudi Arabia gave Kushner $2B for a new Trump Tower — and gets weapons

Qatar gives Trump a private jet and a $5.5B real estate deal — and gets US military protection

This is how bribes work.

The Portland and Oregon reddits are now swarming with posts on where to buy inflatable frog costumes, who has the best prices, and how to donate them to the Resistance. And I just learned 3+ frogs is an "army".

I love this state.

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."

I’m just an ordinary American who grew up in the Midwest..cattle and corn country. We told them months ago this will be devastating for farmers. The taxpayers will pick up the tab. Not just for the farmers who have a history with their dirt but those big corporations that manage the land.

Trump is Trippin’ . Portland fires map blasts Trump's wild claim ‘war-ravaged city is burning to the ground’
Donald Trump has claimed that Portland is 'burning to the ground' but a fire map shows there are no blazes destroying the Oregon city the president describes as 'war-ravaged'.

Fire map evidenced exactly ZERO fires. 🔥

Update: After WGN-TV producer Debbie Brockman was thrown to the ground, arrested by ICE, and accused of throwing objects at them, she was released without charges. It's all about intimidation, and Brockman did not relent. Thanks for being brave!
