Trump is trying to raid the government’s coffers again - file a big lawsuit, force his own regime to “settle,” pocket the cash.

In 2020, Donald Trump tried to extort Georgia election officials to find 11,780 votes

He also used fake electors as part of his insurrection scheme

Now he directed the DOJ to raid the Fulton County Elections hub-in an attempt to rewrite history

If only Fani Willis could have completed her work
Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

ICE has proven to be untrained, uncivilized, and uneducated on democracy in their own country, needless to say Italy. Why would they be allowed to enter another country as "protection" when they kill innocent people w/impunity?
Italy is upset and they have every right to be. This is disgusting

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court sat for oral arguments over whether the all-powerful president the justices have created in recent years can control the Federal Reserve.

It may be dawning on the court’s conservatives that a unitary executive could be impossible to rein in.
The justices undermined the Federal Reserve’s independence. Now they want backsies.

- 53 Italians

“Stayed a little back, off the front lines “!
No one in the media will call him out over this lie or any of the others he spouts.
Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."
