If the government taxed @JeffBezos 25% of what he made on Tuesday alone, they could use that ~4 BILLION dollars towards an extension of the Cares Act or towards funding for Covid testing, or both! And Jeff would still have made more, in one day, than most businesses in a lifetime

We are supposedly at war to stop Iran from enriching the uranium we “obliterated” over a year ago.

Yesterday we signed a deal to help Saudi Arabia enrich uranium.

The first time the United States has ever helped another country enrich uranium on foreign soil.

The Saudis refused the inspection protocol 140 other countries accept. Too intrusive, they said.

Trump agreed. He signed a national security waiver to get around the rule.

The Saudis paid Kushner $100 million. They put $2 billion into his firm. They put another $6 billion into LIV Golf, which pays Trump properties to host its tournaments. They signed ten billion dollars in Trump-branded real estate deals in Jeddah and Riyadh. All in just the last few years.

But sure. My paintings.

So let me get this straight:

The guy who made the least, Joe Biden, had every accusation, investigation, and smear imaginable thrown at him.

Meanwhile, the guy raking in money hand over fist gets a complete pass from the same press corps?

Do I have that right?

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, 52, was fatally shot by ICE agents yesterday during a traffic stop in Houston, TX. He was a father, husband and business owner who had been in the country for 35 years.

While the full story is still unfolding, we demand a full, transparent, and independent investigation. Our communities deserve to be safe and free from gun violence.

Key phrase, “spoke to…” not spoke with. He talked at Mitch while Mitch lied there unresponsive.

[Scott Jennings @ScottJenningsKY]

I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior Senator from Kentucky. He’s still recovering in the hospital. We talked for just shy of 20 minutes … about IRAN, UKRAINE, the unfolding situation in MAINE, my visit to the TR Presidential Library, and even a little bit of Senate history. I told him we want to see him back at work as soon as possible.

America has a huge literacy problem. Especially Republicans.

This right wing rag either intentionally mislead the findings, or simply cannot comprehend what they are reporting. In either event, it’s highly concerning.

No where in the paper does it say illegal immigration caused a 30% increase in home prices or 20% of rent prices.

It says that of the increase, 30%/20% is attributed to illegal immigration.

For example, rent prices increased by 15% from 2021-2024. 20% of that 15% was caused by illegal immigration.

15 x 0.20 =3%

3% was caused by illegal immigration, not 20%.

This is huge! Trump appears to have committed wire fraud in essentially stealing American tax dollars for his "Freedom 250" scam.

LOCK HIM UP!

🚨BREAKING: A new video shows DHS lied, again, about an ICE shooting.

Yesterday, ICE reportedly told police that a man “weaponized” his vehicle by “ramming” into an ICE sedan, forcing an agent to fire his gun during an operation in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

Except… that’s not what the video shows.

In the video, an ICE agent rushes the driver’s window with his gun drawn. The agent recklessly waves his gun around, and appears to order the driver to roll down the window.

That’s an extreme use of force from the very beginning.

Another agent approaches the car, and moments later, they violently smash the driver’s window.

And notice how the driver doesn’t try to flee until ICE violently escalates everything.

He drives around the ICE vehicle, makes it into the street… not hitting a single ICE agent, or vehicle.

Then, AFTER the car is already past every agent, and driving away, an ICE agent opens fire.

The law is pretty clear… officers may only use deadly force, against a fleeing person, if they have probable cause to believe that person poses an immediate threat of death, or serious physical injury to the officer, or others.

So, where was the immediate threat?

The car had already passed the agents… and was driving AWAY.

ICE also claimed Lara-Hernandez had a criminal history of assault, and that this was a targeted enforcement operation.

Yet, publicly available court records reportedly do not show any active warrants.

Federal agents don’t get to point guns at people without legal justification. They don’t get to fire at a vehicle after the immediate threat has passed. And they don’t get to lie to police about what happened.

So, when are we going to start holding these agents accountable?

If you look up “Nazi,” in the dictionary, you will see a picture of Stephen Miller. I mean come on, look at him. You can’t say he doesn’t look like the image that pops into your head if you try to imagine what an average nazi looks like.

Yes, pay attention to the shiny objects put in front of you that doesn’t help society or benefit you in any way, and ignore the foreign country that’s funneling money into our politicians’ pockets to manipulate them to benefit said foreign country.

"You've been convinced Israel is your enemy...DEI has been destroyed, pride flags have been replaced with muscle cars, UFC fight at the White House...stay focused, they want to distract you with Israel"

[Colin Kissel @C_ElkKay]

Some people have become so brainwashed by the amount of propaganda they consume that the American flag, for them, has become a symbol that only represents certain people, instead of being a symbol that represents the country and all of its citizens. I feel sorry for this dude.

POLL: ICE has been abused by the Fake News Media at levels never seen before. They are Great Patriots who work hard, and do a fantastic job in a very hostile environment. Much of this hostility is caused by the Dumocrats and the Fake News. The concept I have had for quite some time — A strong feeling that the name of these Patriots, “ICE,” should be changed to, “NICE,” in that it will totally discombobulate Crooked, Dishonest, and Unpatriotic Reporters and Journalists. For them to say, “We went to a NICE Facility today,” as opposed to “ICE” or, “NICE Agents have deported a Violent Drug Dealer,” they won’t be able to handle it, they will go totally crazy! All it means is adding an “N” (“National”) to “ICE (“Immigration and Customs Enforcement”) — A much more prestigious name. Everyone loves it, but I have been told by the legendary Tom Homan that the Agents do not love it as much as the other population. Who thinks that we should add an “N” to change the name of “ICE” to “NICE?”

Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT

It's only Tuesday and Trump has fucked up a pool for $14 Million, lost a war agreeing to pay Iran $300 Billion, and ballooned his already expensive ballroom budget by another $200 Million.

Where are the Republicans screaming about "waste, fraud and abuse"?

MIKE JOHNSON: Look, some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream it's impossible to prove. But I think everybody knows instinctively that something is wrong here.

[Colin Kissel @C_ElkKay]

She’s right. This is what the Republican Party/MAGA has become. Concerning themselves with non-issues that don’t really affect the majority of the population, ignoring the fact that their “leaders,” are lining their own pockets and leaving their supporters in the dust.

Ossoff: This war in Iran is the worst foreign policy blunder since Iraq. And just like the Iraq War, it's a war built on lies. Let’s update the record:

On day one, the president said it was running ahead of schedule. On day 10, he said it was very complete . Day 21, getting very close . Day 32, leaving very soon . On day 39, the President of the United States said a whole civilization will die…

And on the next day, day 40, he declared total and complete victory . Day 67, great progress. Day 79, the clock is ticking. Today is day 92 . And on day 92 Iran's ballistic missiles and drones have not been destroyed. The Strait of Hormuz, which was opened before the war is still closed. The regime is intact along with its stockpile of highly enriched uranium—a stockpile Iran only built after President Trump shredded President Obama's Iran deal

This shit sucks man. Wish our government was more concerned with making life better for its citizens and less concerned with making money for the rich and powerful.
