Trump, Elon, and their allies are calling all spending they don't like "fraud." Spending on things like consumer protection, Social Security, and medicine for sick kids.
But just calling something "fraud" doesn't make it so. Here are the actual facts 🧵⤵️
I drew this last November 26th knowing full well no self-respecting family newspaper in the country would be likely to print it. I was right. But given the events of this weekend, I’m gonna to let ‘er rip anyway.

BREAKING: Horror story hits the news as a toddler, mother, and grandmother are hauled off to an immigration detention center by Trump's goons because they were speaking Spanish — even though they're American citizens.
This is the worst case scenario...
According to a report from Telemundo Puerto Rico, the three innocent Americans were detained in Milwaukee and dragged off by U.S. officials.
A member of their family stated that they were minding their own business, shopping at a department store when they were detained. Their request to speak to officers was denied until they arrived at the detention center.
"My sister, speaking in English, explained that, not only are they American citizens, but that they are from Puerto Rico, they were born in Puerto Rico," said the family member. The individual spoke anonymously to Telemundo out of fear for their family.
The detained mother eventually produced documents including birth certificates, at which point the officials became apologetic — presumably because they're afraid of a lawsuit.
"I’m so sorry," said one official.
The family was then forced to call and pay for a ride from the facility, putting even more unfair strain on them.
It's still unclear which agency detained them, since ICE's mass detainment and deportation operations are being aided by U.S. Marshals, the DEA, and the FBI.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that the family should sue the Trump administration immediately — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

Don Gustavo says that they’re actively looking for new field workers. He kindly welcomes all the Americans that have been complaining about immigrants taking their jobs. As well as other Latinos who are up for the job. $16.50/hr, no time off, & no benefits! #Bakersfield
The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, has declined to stop Trump's sentencing tomorrow, meaning it will happen. John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett sided with the liberals on the court.
Shocking but true. It’s so sad and embarrassing at what the majority stands for. I never would thought kindness, decency, character, compassion were the minority. Well written #aaronwHughey
Trump's win shows us who we really are: This article by professor Aaron W. Hughey is one of the most powerful and accurate post-election indictments of America you'll ever read. 😳👇
BREAKING: Billionaire Mark Cuban of Shark Tank fame exposes his theory about how MAGA oligarch Elon Musk is abusing his power over Twitter (X) — and it sounds like he absolutely nailed it.
This is huge if true...
"I'm going to tell you something else and I can't prove this but I think that he's doing," Cuban said on the Impaulsive with Logan Paul podcast.
"I think he's taking old abandoned accounts that, you know, accounts someone opened in 2015 and hasn't used since 2015 — and turned them into bots to amplify the number of users on the site," he said.
"Which he said he was fighting against," interjected one of the hosts.
"Right," said Cuban. "He controls them right? They're his bots."
"Elon has an army of bots?" asked the host.
"I'm guessing. I don't know," said Cuban.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you vastly prefer Mark Cuban over Elon Musk — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.
