How long until they cave and put money in his pocket? Or at least hold a black tie dinner in his honor?

On October 2, asked about seven men accused of gang-raping a Cornell student, the President said they "won't get a fair shake." This pattern of denial and justification is so recurrent with not just Trump but Trump-era Republicans, it deserves asking the question whether it is a rape culture.

FOX: We’re active with Iran—how do you get out? El-Sayed: You don’t get in in the first place. We had an agreement that had contained nuclear weapons. We did not need to do this, so the first time the dunce got elected he pulled back on the agreement.

Join us on September 29 for a lively debate about America's nonprofit theatre. Nonprofit theatres are not dying. However, we are weakened. Partially due to our own actions, partially due to external forces that we could have had some influence upon. Register here: lnkd.in/gp6mvjDs l

THC is now virtually banned in Texas. Big Beer and Big Tobacco bought politicians to ban Delta-8 — because it's a threat to their profits. That is corruption.

The president is a money laundering pedophile and adjudicated rapist who supports wife-abusing men for Congress but 34% of Americans don’t care because they’re bigots.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

As a Watergate historian, this might be the dumbest and worst take we’ve seen from JD Vance in a long time. And it’s also a complete misunderstanding of Nixon and Watergate.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."

Please keep hammering this. It's an obvious and effective message that plays widely, especially with low-info voters.

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis. Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention. So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption. 1/ Here it is - in one🧵
