She’s absolutely correct ‼️Pro-life, but defunding Healthcare and essential services for children‼️ They like to call themselves pro life because it gives them a sense of moral high ground.
I'm a South Korean journalist based in New York City. This is a thread about what's happening in South Korea right now after the president declared emergency martial law.
What my report showed is that every single state’s highest court has figured out how to police its members’ ethics transgressions, even though they are the highest court. It’s not hard. The Supreme Court’s failure to do this shows that they simply don’t want to.

Amazon and Walmart are the largest US companies by both revenue and number of employees.
But 87% of jobs for Amazon and 91% for Walmart pay less than $20/hr.
Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos is worth $229B and the Walton family is worth roughly $270B.
See the problem here?

President Biden: His son
Drop a 💙 if you stand with Joe
Billionaire Elon Musk is blackmailing republicans by threatening to spend billions to unseat all Republican senators if they do not vote to confirm Kash Patel for FBI director.
Identify this racist who verbally assaulted a family on a United Airlines shuttle (link in thread). If she has a job, let's make sure she doesn't for long. I'm tired of giving people like this grace. It's one thing to make a stupid remark and regret it. She doesn't. Wreck her.
Now it's official: President Biden has pardoned his son Hunter.
“Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter. From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted Without aggravating factors like use in a crime, multiple purchases, or buying a weapon as a straw purchaser, people are almost never brought to trial on felony charges solely for how they filled out a gun form. Those who were late paying their taxes because of serious addictions, but paid them back subsequently with interest and penalties, are typically given non-criminal resolutions. It is clear that Hunter was treated differently.
The charges in his cases came about only after several of my political opponents in Congress instigated them to attack me and oppose my election. Then, a carefully negotiated plea deal, agreed to by the Department of Justice, unraveled in the court room – with a number of my political opponents in Congress taking credit for bringing political pressure on the process. Had the plea deal held, it would have been a fair, reasonable resolution of Hunter’s cases.
No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son – and that is wrong. There has been an effort to break Hunter – who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution. In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me – and there’s no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough.
For my entire career I have followed a simple principle: just tell the American people the truth. They’ll be fair-minded. Here’s the truth: I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice – and once I made this decision this weekend, there was no sense in delaying it further. I hope Americans will understand why a father and a President would come to this decision.”
Has anyone actually read the complete list of people Trump already pardoned & their crimes? I have. Every damn one of them. GTFOH w/your both sideisms & false moral equivalencies. People are sick of that old BS. I’m so tired of our hand-wringing weakness & refuse to participate.
