Every day, something gets my blood boiling.🤬 Thanks to Trump, thousands of wild horses have been rounded up with helicopters, packed into metal trailers, trucked hundreds of miles, and sold off to be slaughtered. And they're lying about it. Karma's running late. www.rawstory.com/wild-horses/

Well now here's something pretty spiffy. New out today from the New York Vocal Collective, a choral arrangement of Paul McCartney's "Blackbird." The first two and a half minutes are fine, but then it becomes…something else entirely. (You know the THX sound effect?) www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9ot...

Look how much money we lost because because Trump pardons corrupt people and cancels their debts. Apparently he pardoned 77 people guilty of Medicare fraud this week alone. I wonder how much they paid him? Those Somalians, though, right?🤷‍♀️

Jaw-dropping admission by DOJ to court. DOJ admits to having repeatedly made "material mistaken" representations to judge - ICE never had authority (under 2025 Guidance) to conduct arrests at immigration courthouses! DOJ admits court "relied on...prior misrepresentations." DOJ blames ICE (page 2)

Donald Trump, who has long railed against mail-in voting — including Monday, when he called it “mail-in-cheating” — used the method himself in a Florida special election scheduled to take place Tuesday. What a hypocrite!!! Gift article 🎁

Hepatitis B vaccine has been studied for decades and has already been proven safe and effective. CDC will award $1.6M for seemingly unethical study to controversial Danish group to study this vaccine in spite of numerous objections from top virologists, scientists and the WHO.

This is the most narcissistic, petty display ever. It’s so obvious Trump is unwell, but what I don’t get is how this is allowed to happen to the people’s house. He’s a temporary occupant. He doesn’t own the joint.

Trump‘s budget bill would be the largest transfer of wealth in 40 years - from the poorest to the most wealthy. The CBO projects this budget would shift income from the poorest to the richest, with the bottom 10% losing around 4% of after-tax income, while high earners see a 2.3% gain.
