Can everyone just step back and realize how insane it is that the US Supreme Court had to rule on the constitutionality of the US CONSTITUTION and the vote to uphold the Constitution wasn't unanimous!!!

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in American history.

[Andrew Weinstein @Weinsteinlaw]

The real headline from the birthright‑citizenship case isn’t the outcome. It’s that four Supreme Court justices signaled they believe a president can effectively rewrite the Constitution through executive order.

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

Trump’s net worth has nearly tripled in his second term, reaching $6.5 billion.

His administration is the most brazenly self-enriching in American history.

Trump made more than a billion dollars from cryptocurrency ventures in his first year back in office, according to his own financial disclosure form. CNN Contributor Kara Swisher says, "this is a coin operated presidency."

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

🚨 TRUMP’S FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE JUST DROPPED…AND IT’S WORSE THAN YOU THOUGHT.

The U.S. Office of Government Ethics released Donald Trump’s 927-page financial disclosure today. Here’s what a sitting U.S. President made in 2025:

💰 $635 MILLION from the TRUMP memecoin, while retail investors watched it crash from $74 to $1.68

💰 $594 MILLION from World Liberty Financial token and stablecoin sales, a crypto venture co-founded with his own sons

💰 $65 MILLION from selling equity in that same company

💰 $80+ MILLION in media settlements from ABC, CBS, Meta, and YouTube, paid to his own presidential library

Total crypto haul: over $1.4 BILLION. In one year. While serving as President of the United States.

His net worth has nearly TRIPLED, from $2.4 billion to $6.3 billion, since taking office.

And while Trump pocketed $1.4 billion from crypto, the everyday Americans who bought his memecoin? They lost. 764,000 wallets ended up in the red.

This is the most corrupt presidency in American history. Period.

Reagan had a different view on immigration. It’s the American view.

Justice Thomas’ dissent is hands down one of the MOST intellectually dishonest legal opinions I have EVER seen.

It should be clear to every American he is a compromised political actor - not a respectable member of this bench.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Ronald Reagan: “You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman…But Anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American…This, I believe, is one of the most important sources of America's greatness.”🇺🇸

@_akinola_ I was hoping you didn't see that part about my son, Smh!

[Ikhide R. Ikheloa @ikhide]

Chilling with our two daughters Netter_Shoks and Ominira. Before the two sons came along. *Not so humble brag* They are all grown now, Netter_Shoks is a pediatrician and Ominira is an attorney. *pounds cute chest* I try jor! Enjoy your kids. They grow fast!

Interesting. My dad wanted me to be a doctor. I wanted to be that dreamer under a palm tree, Unoka writing beautiful poetry in between bouts of inebriation. I ended up with a degree in biochemistry.

I was miserable in school, hated school, because I was in the wrong program. I wanted to be in the arts enjoying my life. I never went to medical school but the experience told me that no child should be forced into something they have no passion for.

Every one of our four kids would tell you that I never prescribed for them what to study, I would always say, go for your passions, go for what you love doing, what you do best, and you will be fine. Ours was a home full of books, TV, computers, smartphones and adult conversations.

How did our kids end up? The doctor was gifted in the visual arts and produced studio quality art. Got a degree in the arts and another degree in biology. She eventually chose to study medicine. I do wish she had stayed an artist, we'd be wealthy today, lol. The attorney studied photography and criminal justice, but eventually chose law. She still has a good eye for pictures. One first son was hooked on computers, spent most of his days in the basement playing games, ended up as a software engineer with Google. Our last child studied communications, loves water, loves the sea, he is a certified life guard and sailor, he runs a marina in Florida where he is living his best life by the ocean. I jokingly call him minister for enjoyment because he genuinely loves life and fun.

If there is anything we did right, it was to be guides by the side of each child, not sages on the stage, dictating to them what they should be. It has been a privilege raising the kids, they turned out great, and as you can tell, I am mighty proud of them.

[SCOTUS Wire @scotus_wire]

🚨 The Supreme Court ruled that the Fourteenth Amendment guarantees birthright citizenship to children born in the United States, including those whose parents are in the country unlawfully or only temporarily, striking down President Trump's executive order.

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

OMG! Jim Acosta is utterly humiliating Trump, whose Great American State Fair can only be described as a Great American Tragedy. 😂🤣👇

Zohran Mamdani: Americans are exhausted by the daily struggle to make ends meet. We can't just oppose the Trump administration. We need to lay out a policy agenda that actively fights for working people.

[Ikhide R. Ikheloa @ikhide]

Josh Johnson's brilliant take on Mayor Mamdani!

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Josh Johnson on Trump: “He’s the Babe Ruth of scams. If there was a Basquiat of evil, this is it. If every Republican actually meant what they said about fiscal responsibility, to then see this happen and not have some sort of aneurism means that you don’t stand on anything”

Saturday at the park. I came to a graduation party that should have started at 3:00 pm. It is almost 4:00 pm. They are still setting up. It definitely won’t start until around 5 pm if we are lucky. I am helping them set up. I would leave but the food will not eat itself, besides, ML who I am representing because she’s at work (main breadwinner) has forbidden me from leaving until the end of the party. I will stay, na dem get us for America, who wan die? The host just strode in sweetly going “Sorry, we are a little late! 🙆🏾‍♀️🫤

I need to go to therapy to stop this atrocious American habit of being on time for events. I can’t live like this. I an an African fgs!!! But the food though. The women of Togo can cook! And that French accent *swoons* *faints*

How far?
