@hearts4zaniyahh As a middle school teacher, I relate to banning bruh. Instead of this draconian response, the teacher is making the words more popular. Instead, she could assign them as vocabulary words, then challenge the students to find synonyms, especially curse words from Shakespeare.
BREAKING: Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin goes for Donald Trump’s jugular and demands that he return the $7.8 million his companies corruptly received from foreign governments while he was president.
This is perfect…
Taking the gloves off, Raskin sent a letter demanding the money be returned after a bombshell report from the House Oversight and Accountability Committee revealed that Trump used the White House to enrich his companies.
Twenty different foreign countries funneled money into Trump businesses — including China and Saudi Arabia, a blatant violation of the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution.
"Your acceptance of foreign emoluments while in office was a stunning violation of the U.S. Constitution — and a profound betrayal of the interests of the United States and the trust of the American people," wrote Raskin.
Crucially, Raskin pointed out that the $7.8 million is just the tip of the iceberg because Republicans scuttled the investigation before it could uncover the full extent of the corruption.
"Critically, the report was unable to provide a full accounting of the total amount of foreign emoluments you accepted as President, and thus, was unable to determine precisely what you owe to the American people," Raskin wrote. "You spent years litigating against the Committee to prevent us from obtaining any documents regarding the foreign emoluments you received while in office."
Raskin put the problem in simple terms: these countries gave money to Trump's companies because they wanted "favors and specific policy outcomes from" Trump and his administration, many of which they obtained.
Returning the money is a good start, but justice will not be served until Trump is prosecuted for turning the White House into a personal moneymaking scam.

In the state of Mississippi more than 1 in 5 children face hunger.
And their Governor Tate Reeves, has announced that he won’t participate in a federal summer food program for children.
You see, he doesn’t want the state with the highest poverty rate and the most hunger in the country to turn into a “welfare state.”
So those kids can just starve.
But do go on about how “pro-life” Republicans “protect our kids” wont you.
TODAY: #Iowa students from nearly 11 schools walked out of class this morning and straight to their State Capitol in #DesMoines to insistent action be taken to end gun violence.
The time for asking for change is over, we DEMAND it.
As long as Trump's got breath in him he will always loathe the fact that President Obama was a better president and a much better man than he ever was! Who agrees that Trump will always be in Obama's shadow? ✋✋✋

MYTH: The Biden administration has implemented an “open border” policy that has created chaos at our border with Mexico.
TRUTH: President Biden inherited an immigration system in tatters. The Trump administration cut off legal pathways to citizenship, leaving would-be migrants with fewer lawful methods of entering the country. They cut funding to Central American countries in 2019 as they splurged on an ineffective, costly wall.
It was the Trump administration that tightened sanctions on Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua, exacerbating the macroeconomic crises that have led hundreds of thousands to flee and arrive at the southern border. When they pulled the rug out from various, essential assistance programs, they made the problem worse. https://t.co/iDWxnVJbjf
Dear @maddow,
In many ways you've ruined my life by only being on 1 night a week. I'm sure the guilt of that is quite a burden for you. However, if you were to be a guest on my NOBODY LISTENS TO PAULA POUNDSTONE, the comedy podcast, it could begin the healing process.
