What a disgrace.

ICE may have handed a suspect in the largest jewelry heist in American history a free pass by deporting him before he ever faced trial.

This is the result of Stephen Miller’s chaos. Reckless mismanagement that undermines public safety and makes a mockery of the justice system.

Lutnick and Epstein purchased stock in the same company in the same round on the same day in 2013. The signing was in person.

Last year, Lutnick claimed he cut Epstein off in the 2000s and "I was never in the room with him… for business…. If that guy was there, I wasn't going."

Trump said he would fight for “forgotten Americans.” I didn’t know that meant Jeff Bezos.

Despite making $89.5 BILLION in profits last year, Amazon paid just 3.1% in taxes.

This is what Republicans’ SNAP & Medicaid cuts were for.

Trump's racism has plenty of company, sadly.

"Earlier this week, Miller espoused the “Mudsill Theory,” which originated in the United States to justify slavery and set up a permanent social hierarchy with white people at the top."

He took it down, but will he address the country and apologize? Will he denounce racism? Will he change his behavior and stop demeaning people? Otherwise, taking down the post is meaningless.
