I wonder if it would be good electoral strategy to total up all the people that the Trump Administration has killed.
I know, it's not kitchen table, but isn't their profound immorality an issue?
Just USAID defunding killed 762,000, mostly kids.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

I don't want my well-meaning family to lower the standards, on things I remember, on dealing with computers, none of it. And remember, I'm not a "senior." That seems a derogatory, condescending term to me. I'll accept it only when if comes with the companion word "discount."

Everything Trump does is corrupt. Every Single Thing.
He is the epitome of a corrupt piece of doo-doo.

More than half the drugs on the TrumpRx site have a cheaper generic version on the market.
Pristiq, an antidepressant, is available with a TrumpRx coupon for ~$200 for a 30-day supply.
A generic version is on GoodRx for less than $30 and Mark Cuban's CostPlusDrugs for $16.65.

This should be political photo of the year.
Someone dressed like this has been shopped for and dressed with love. The backpack; the bunny ears, the protection against the cold.
We think of the anguish of those who love him. We think of unspeakable cruelty from agents of the devil.

Trump was always the outsider pricking the insiders, the bankers. Now he stupidly doesn't realize that outsider tactics don't work when you are at the top of the insiders. Here, unpredictability and caprice don't work. Stupid man.

Dems in Congress should make major case about Trump's monumental desecrations and stop them! My Uber driver, former laborer, complained about Trump's White House moves, destruction of East Wing. "That's our house, not his!" said the driver.
The symbolism shouts loud and clear.
Dems - step up!

When Target retreated on DEI, publicly and decisively, did they think that the whole country was pro-Trump, or what? Good to see that the subsequent boycott has worked, and Target is hurting. Money talks with these soulless guys.
