So Mike Johnson adopted his 14 year old "black son" when he was 25 and unmarried.

Matt Gaetz adopted a 14 year old Cuban immigrant named "Nestor" when he was 30 and unmarried.

Both are powerful Republicans now in the House. Can anyone help me understand what is going on here?

Today we lost the North Beach landmark Deauville Hotel due to Demolition by Neglect. We captured this footage of the implosion and ensuing demolition cloud. An important part of our cultural, social, and economic history may be be gone, but we will never forget. #implode#rebuild

Jim Jordan was involved in Trump's conspiracy to steal the election and seize power; he urged that Pence refuse to count lawful electoral votes. If Rs nominate Jordan to be Speaker, they will be abandoning the Constitution. They’ll lose the House majority and they’ll deserve to.

Trump held a “union” rally at an auto part plant.

The plant was NOT a union plant — it’s not repped by the United Auto Workers.

And hundreds of the “workers” were actually Trump ringers — many who were PAID by Trump to be there.

Phony, fake, fraudulent — all of it.

Here is George Clooney response after Trump accused him of being a "Hollywood elite."

"Here’s the thing: I grew up in Kentucky. I sold insurance door-to-door. I sold ladies’ shoes. I worked at an all-night liquor store. I would buy suits that were too big and too long and cut the bottom of the pants off to make ties so I’d have a tie to go on job interviews. I grew up understanding what it was like to not have health insurance for eight years.

So this idea that I’m somehow the “Hollywood elite” and this guy who takes a shit in a gold toilet is somehow the man of the people is laughable.

People in Hollywood, for the most part, are people from the Midwest who moved to Hollywood to have a career. So this idea of “coastal elites” living in a bubble is ridiculous. Who lives in a bigger bubble?

He lives in a gold tower and has twelve people in his company. He doesn’t run a corporation of hundreds of thousands of people he employs and takes care of. He ran a company of twelve people!

When you direct a film you have seven different unions all wanting different things, you have to find consensus with all of them, and you have to get them moving in the same direction.

He’s never had to do any of that kind of stuff. I just look at it and I laugh when I see him say “Hollywood elite.” Hollywood elite? I don’t have a star on Hollywood Boulevard, Donald Trump has a star on Hollywood Boulevard! Fuck you!"

BREAKING: The non-union shop where Donald Trump is speaking tonight was cited for 12 OSHA violations between 2017-2023 with multiple employee injuries on record. Photos from the company's Instagram reveal more potential violations of safety laws. https://t.co/XyuozjkYnH

My favorite part of tonight's Republican debate was how all of those fools stood up there yelling over each other's voices about the *problems* in America while none of them had any solutions.

Meanwhile, all President Biden and Democrats have been doing is delivering solutions.

THAT IS HOW YOU WIN.

To recap

Trump travels to Michigan so he can demonstrate his support for unions

By holding an event at a non-union manufacturing facility

Using non-union shills to hold signs that say “union members for Trump”

Trump the fraud strikes again

13 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

It's baffling that the Saudi Crown Prince supposedly received CIA intel from Jared Kushner, identifying "enemies" before a Saudi "corruption crackdown." This went largely unreported by mainstream media.

Around the same time, the Trump administration approved nuclear tech transfer to Saudi Arabia post-Khashoggi incident. These events raise questions about motives. Coincidence? Unlikely.

Further investigation into these occurrences seems warranted.

Vivek says America needs to "put people back to work".

America has the lowest unemployment in decades under President Biden. Biden's job record is stellar.

Remember when Republicans were really concerned about the suspicious banking activity of a presidential relative? All the investigations they demanded?
