Yes, @OmarJimenez, you actually can downplay some of the work former presidents have done in their post-presidencies…compared to Jimmy Carter.
He didn’t set out to “refill the coffers” or put out his annual playlists/books he’s read.

The Biden/Garland DOJ spent years reviewing allegations that I committed various crimes.
I was charged with nothing: FULLY EXONERATED. Not even a campaign finance violation. And the people investigating me hated me.
Then, the very “witnesses” DOJ deemed not-credible were assembled by House Ethics to repeat their claims absent any cross-examination or challenge from me or my attorneys. I’ve had no chance to ever confront any accusers. I’ve never been charged. I’ve never been sued.
Instead, House Ethics will reportedly post a report online that I have no opportunity to debate or rebut as a former member of the body.
In my single days, I often sent funds to women I dated - even some I never dated but who asked. I dated several of these women for years. I NEVER had sexual contact with someone under 18. Any claim that I have would be destroyed in court - which is why no such claim was ever made in court.
My 30’s were an era of working very hard - and playing hard too.
It’s embarrassing, though not criminal, that I probably partied, womanized, drank and smoked more than I should have earlier in life. I live a different life now.
But at least I didn’t vote for CR’s that fuck over the country!
Debt collectors buy debt for pennies on the dollar––but they won't give you the same deal.
So we've bought household debt––medical debt, student loans, criminal legal debt––and instead of collecting on it, we canceled it.
It's our project called "Rolling Jubilee."
Examples:
@MikeIsaac Someone at the other site pointed out to a writer with a recently published book and audiobook of a mispronounced word and they were bummed. It happens!
Penelope Cruz’s latest commercial has me questioning how I’ve been pronouncing “Emirates,” but don’t know if I’ve been wrong.
I’ll never forget how some of those who claimed to be his “friends” turned their backs on Joe Biden when he needed them most.
Still pisses me off. He deserved better.
Funeral planning must often happen quickly & at one of the worst moments of people's lives. That's why @FTC's Funeral Rule requires that funeral providers give out price information over the phone.
Our team did an undercover sweep to identify violations:

9 days ago I asked @MayorBowser if she could explain why no district department has a copy of her travel expenses to Miami, Dubai or The Masters.
Plus, why the Miami & Dubai trips are not listed on her annual finacial disclosure forms?
Listen to the Mayor telling me her office will get back to me.
We asked for months for a one-on-one interview and her Communications Director Susana Castillo told us she didn't think our questions rose to the level for the Mayor to do a one-on-one interview. @susi2431
Director Castillo said we should attend a press conference and ask the Mayor our questions.
We asked 9 days ago & I even emailed the Mayor's office again with the same two questions.
So far... crickets. 🦗
The child tax credit, increased ACA subsidies, and student loan forgiveness helped people. All good policy.
But it didn't move people emotionally to our side. Why?
Maybe because most people don't want a handout. They want the rules unrigged so they can succeed on their own.
Chuck Schumer giving up on four big Circuit court appointments for a bigger number of District courts appointments that the soon-to-be Trump appointees can overrule is terrible math.
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, a centrist Democrat who pushes conservative narratives on regulation, says that her state makes it illegal to peel bananas in a daycare. But when I asked, her office could not provide me with evidence that such a regulation exists

This is incredibly lame. If you won’t stand up/fight for yourself, and you’ve counseled your new colleagues to stand down, how can you be trusted to stand up/fight for your community/constituents? How can people believe you’ll fight for them?
