And so here we are. This statement from Trump blows my mind. That a sitting president would not let any renovations to a public building go on unless he gets to first put his name in the said building… What a sad state of affairs. What a tragedy. Actually, how small minded, how narcissistic. Actually
great men, devoted to public service and the public good do not act like this.
It seems that this man will not rest until his name is permanently connected to the name of a great president, whose memory this building was dedicated to. Imagine spending your time and your days focused on this, as everyday Americans struggle with healthcare, gas prices, rent, and food. Imagine spending your days focused on this, while a war rages under your leadership.
Enough said. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
@BarackObama@Acosta@MichelleObama My condolences to you and the family. I have lost several dogs over the years. It is surprisingly painful but pales in comparison to the joy these dogs bring to us. All the best.
.@realmikefox is one of the best people I know. He has always been this way, since the day I met him. Clever, funny, sarcastic, loyal, wicked smart, tireless, and fun. He doesn’t want pity. If you take anything from seeing him inside this body-that-has-other-ideas, remember what he once told me. “I got dealt a pretty good card hand. This was just in there.” He’s the same guy he ever was.
Love you forever, my brother Mike.
June 18: 🇺🇸Trump buys up to $500K in Boeing stock. Same day Boeing gets $880M US Navy contract.
June 24: 🇺🇸Trump buys up to $250K in Palantir stock. Same day Palantir gets $45.8M government contract.
In any functioning democracy, this would be called massive corruption and he would have faced at least 2 years in jail.
Why would Trump end a program that saves you money by letting you file your taxes for free with the IRS?
Maybe because TurboTax's parent company donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration.
Call it out for what it is: corruption.
Elon Musk spent $290M to elect Trump. Now he wants to spend up to $200M to buy a Senate seat in Texas and keep Republicans in control of Congress.
That’s not democracy. That’s oligarchy.
End Citizens United. Ban super PACs. Get billionaires—from both parties—out of elections.
Ossoff: When he first announced the tariffs, you remember that? He called it Liberation Day, and it crashed the markets because it was clown policy. You remember that?
OK, so follow me through on this. He announces the tariffs on April 2 of last year. The markets tank nonstop for like a week because it’s a disastrous trade policy, and six days into the crash, April 8, Trump buys millions in stock. I’m talking Amazon, Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Berkshire Hathaway, and then the very next morning, April 9, he posts on Truth Social, quote, “This is a great time to buy.” Three exclamation marks.
OK, now listen to this. Three hours and 41 minutes after that post, one day after he bought millions in stock, he canceled the tariffs and triggered one of the biggest same-day rebound rallies in market history.
He’s trying to get money. And you saw, now he’s offering paid subscriptions to presidential announcements, right? Just understand what’s for sale here: The sitting president’s pronouncements on war and peace and economic policy delivered first to paying customers.
What an absolute crook.
Epic moment 🔥
🇺🇸 Rubio at 5:00 PM — “No president has ever done this. Trump got Iran to the table on nukes. They might even give them up. Historic.”
🇺🇸 Obama at 6:00 PM — “Already did it 12 years ago without firing missiles. Removed 96% of their enriched uranium. Didn’t need to kill a bunch of people or close the Strait of Hormuz like your boss.” 🔥👏
Last year, Jeff Bezos sailed on his $500 million yacht to his $55 million wedding in Venice to give his wife a $5 million ring while his real tax rate was less than 1%.
Under my 5% billionaire wealth tax, Mr. Bezos would owe $12.7 billion & still have $240 billion left over.
