"While other universities report that the humanities are shrinking, at Berkeley, the opposite is true. The music major is the fastest-growing major on campus. We are finding bigger classrooms because film is exploding. English is back to the numbers we saw 15 years ago. We are hiring" bit.ly/4ohKuOe

Tariffs “don’t raise prices.”

But now that we’re dropping them, they’ll lower prices. 🤡

Trump’s 28-point proposal on the Ukraine war is literally being dictated by Russia to the corrupt Witkoff:

“[The] new peace plan is being crafted by U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, who's been in contact with Kirill Dmitriev, Russia's top economic negotiator.”

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

The Treasury Department has its own Epstein file containing thousands of bank records. My investigators reviewed a portion of those records last year. I've demanded the Secretary Bessent produce the file for further investigation. He has refused repeatedly.

"I'm trying to have a pleasant conversation with my friend, the cold-blooded murderer, and you have the effrontery to ask me about my other friend, the sex trafficker. No more questions for you."
Trump in response to an Epstein question: "ABC, your company, your crappy company is one of the perpetrators. I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, a chairman, who should take a look at that."

Look, I know we're all sick of hearing "if this had happened with any other president ..." but it's absolutely true and absolutely can't be forgotten.

For some reason, this nation gives this idiotic spoiled brat a free pass from things that would destroy the administration of any other person.
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

What if Olivia Nuzzi DELIBERATELY wrote a terrible book, thereby ensuring that professional writers and editors, with their large platforms, would mock it, indirectly generating publicity for her silly, salacious story. Is she capable of doing something so cynical and corrupt?
