Donnie didn't type that and still there are a number of grammatical errors. Absolute shite... a trademark side-effect of everything/everyone Donnie gets involved with.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Maybe, just maybe Medicare for All would be a big step in providing Medicare for the National Debt.

I never gossip. Except to save a soul. Or a conversation. So you won't catch me repeating the rumors about JD Vance and Erika Kirk.

I was just (kinda) joking when I said Vance would try to marry Erika Kirk and dump Usha to become President.

Apparently...

This is the Royal equivalent of the amputation of a gangrenous limb to stop the rest of The Firm getting infected.

An act of self-preservation.

If it was integrity, then they'd have booted Andrew out years ago.

They didn't.

BASH: You all found ways to pay the military and WIC. But why are you drawing the line now on 40 million Americans who literally will not be able to eat with govt assistance?

MIKE JOHNSON: If we had a contingency fund we could use, that would be done.

Private equity gave $10M to Trump's inauguration. He gave them greater access to Americans' 401(k)s.

DuPont and Dow Chemical gave $750K. Trump exempted them from an air pollution rule.

Intuit gave $1M. Trump killed the IRS Direct File Program.

Everything is for sale.

Blue states are suing to get those funds released. Trump would rather see poor kids starve while he builds his ballroom.

Marco Foster shares a quote from Lawrence O’Donnell: “Even though the Agriculture Department has enough money to continue to fund food stamps during the government shutdown, Donald Trump is ordering them not to fund food stamps. 40% of the people fed by SNAP are children. Donald Trump and Republican senators are basically saying let them starve. Republicans did this.”
The image below shows O’Donnell speaking on MSNBC, with “Republicans did this” displayed beside him.

Democrats are expanding their probes into Trump's demolition of the East Wing and construction of his planned ballroom — pressing the White House and outside companies to explain the project's finances and what was promised to contributors.

The senators want a "complete accounting."

Lawmakers are demanding answers about the project’s financing and what donors have been promised. The White House has defended its use of private donations.

NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine.

My latest @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/ice-is...

Early planning documents reviewed by WIRED describe a statewide transport grid designed for steady detainee transfers across Texas, with ICE estimating each trip to average 100 miles. Every county would have its own small, around-the-clock team of contractors collecting immigrants from local authorities deputized by ICE. It is a subtle transfer of the physical custody process into the hands of a private security firm—authorized to carry firearms and perform transport duties “in any and all local, county, state, and ICE locations.”

It still boggles my mind that so many people couldn't grasp last year how significantly more morally depraved a second Trump term would be in comparison to the first. And how so many people still can't comprehend that our national crisis isn't about politics, but simple morality.
