Here's how many stock trades presidents have made: Clinton: 0 GW Bush: 0 Obama: 0 Trump's first term: 517 Biden: 0 Trump's second term: 24,000+ Trump is the only President who has traded stocks while sitting in the Oval Office. He's rigging the system in real time.

Trump wants to use already inadequate childcare funds to pay married couples to have one parent stay home. Many of these families are really struggling; 75% live in households with yearly incomes under $50,000. But this is a policy to make struggling families fight over scraps.🧵

nytimes.comTrump Officials Draft Plan to Pay At-Home Parents, Using Funds for Working OnesThe proposed benefit, a top policy priority for Vice President JD Vance, would apply only to married couples and tap a fund intended to provide federal child care subsidies to working parents.

This story is indeed insane. They literally *discounted his correct answers* (on questions about the Constitution) so that a Trump supporting girl who wants to go to Hillsdale College could win $25K and be televised meeting Trump. So. Gross.

This story is crazy. It would appear Trump admin officials rigged their nationally televised high school civics contest to keep a young man from a Sikh family out of the finalists. www.notus.org/national/ame...

Twice a year, Hawai'i experiences a strange moment where the sun appears to be exactly overhead & anything that is completely vertical casts no shadow. Let's learn about Lāhainā Noon, subsolar points & 'Kau ka lā i ka lolo', meaning "the sun rests on the brains."

Heatwaves. Wildfire smoke. A parasite outbreak. It's moments like these where we need competent and thoughtful leadership to protect people. Yet at the federal level we have a regime run by a man obsessed with lining his own pockets and spewing lies about an election that happened 6 years ago.

The explosive diarrhea-causing cyclosporiasis outbreak has now spread to 31 states, with nearly 7,000 potential cases. Last year, RFK ordered the CDC's Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network to stop tracking cyclosporiasis.

They just keep killing people and lying about it. Everybody involved in this criminal organization needs to be prosecuted.

⛔ #UPDATE — New video shows #ÏCE agents running along the side of the car. Video does not show the agents in danger of being "run over." Agent shot & killed the driver—witnesses say they heard 4 shots. Incident occurred in #Biddeford, #Maine— about 15 miles south of #Portland.

Ron Johnson said it was an old photo of Mitch, there are a bunch of FBI agents at Lindsey’s house, Trump is escalating Iran bombings and taxing intl ships, ICE shot another innocent person in the head, & Trump is announcing that the ghost of Hugo Chavez rigged the 2020 election.

Political retribution is mob boss politics 101. Just this weekend, New Jersey shore towns were underwater again from extreme flooding. I have zero tolerance for this administration playing around with our wallets and lives because of tired political grudges

Trump denied disaster aid to four Democratic-led states. Yet two days earlier, he had approved FEMA disaster aid for six Republican-led states. The move is raising questions about whether he’s injecting political motivations into emergency management decisions.

Air quality around the D.C. area declined dramatically on Sunday, after Trump launched 850,000 fireworks for July 4th, much higher than the typical 17,000-20,000 that are usually launched. The worst air quality ratings were recorded near Black neighborhoods.

Sorry I was absent from my job as the Baby Healthcare Slasher. I had depression for reasons that I’m sure are entirely unrelated to that. Anyways back to my job giving everyone infectious diseases and driving teenagers to suicide.

lol does this article really not mention that Clarence Thomas was in house counsel for Monsanto, the Roundup manufacturer?

Dems have to run on this hard. Do not let the RFK types try to spin what his own party just signed off on here. Actual Monsanto, the comic book villain of Adbusters days, was shielded from liability over poisoning Americans. I don't care if it's slopulism: this Supreme Court wants you dead.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

⬇️ They are absolutely being trained to do this, and then to claim that they are being threatened and therefore justified in using deadly force. This is almost certainly coming down from Stephen Miller

Something that needs to be elevated is that ICE agents have been instructed to threaten and illegally detain legal observers. It's a criminal conspiracy to deprive Americans of their 1st & 4th amendment rights. Renee Good isn't the only victim ICE has targeted and won't be the last.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.
