My question? Would you be surprised if they demolished the building?
Congress appropriated $257 million to renovate the Kennedy Center before Trump shut it down. Follow that money and see where it goes.

A reminder that the New England Patriots plane is flown by Omni air who contracts with ICE to fly people in chains to Africa and Asia several times per week.

Go Seahawks.

Minnesota needs to know the number of children in federal detention, who they are, and where they’re being held.

I was looking for a post I saw a while back and it simply read “Epstein is in the trump files.” That has really stuck with me. #epsteinisinthetrumpfiles
It is more accurate to say that Epstein is in the Trump files.

For some reason.

Autocratic regimes hate the free press. They hate journalism because they don’t want to be held accountable. These Minnesota journalists are being targeted because journalism has prevented this administration from doing even more insane things in Minnesota. Remember it was video that proved lying …

Celebrating one of my people’s birthday in the city of Pittsburgh today. Coming up here from the heels of West Virginia. It’s nice to be in a city for a bit.

It’s astonishing that he is still president or was ever elected in the first place. I guess it’s true, he really just held up a mirror to the social sicknesses festering our country. 😞

Six days ago federal officers murdered a man in the streets of Minneapolis and we still don't know their identities. Is there any modern precedent for this?

The president of the United States had his Justice Dept. raid an election office and seize ballots in order to cast doubt on an election he lost. Yet, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day.

Donald J. Trump expressing concern today that he might be impeached. Good read, Grandpa because you’re not holding the cards. We are. Thank you Minnesota,every American standing up (and there are millions) and a big shout out to Canada and our European allies. 💗

In a rural state already underserved, this is devastating.
Decent, affordable healthcare is a human right. It requires structured support @ the national level. Like it or not. The pharmaceutical & insurance industries have proven they need efficient govt oversight in order to exercise restraint.
Indiana hospitals “are expected to reach annual losses exceeding $1 billion within the next three to five years” as a result of Medicaid cuts and other issues.

Rural hospitals will be in serious jeopardy just as The Regime leaves office, exactly as planned.
