Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Trump doesn’t want to say where his mystery meat is coming from. Oh also in a separate story I’m sure is in no way connected, he’s been slaughtering your wild horses.

The so-called president of the United States is a massive money launderer and cut off by the bank that discovered it. Yet the story barely registers with the legacy media. What a disgrace.

If you’re watching Fauci’s testimony remember that science isn’t an ideology. It doesn’t lie. It evolves. COVID-19 was a once-in-a-century pandemic caused by a brand-new virus, recommendations changed because the evidence changed. That’s not deception. That’s how it works.

After failing the first time, the Trump regime has re-indicted former FBI Director James Comey. For an ‘8647’ seashell post on Instagram. If an ‘8647’ seashell post is an indictable offense, what is it when a dementia patient with nuclear codes threatens to mass murder an entire civilization?

Honestly, how much more nonsense are we going to have to go through before the people around Trump grasp that he is mentally sick, a danger to America and the world--and he needs to be removed from office?

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

A clear tell that Trump knows he’s had a terrible week between his war in Iran and his disaster of an Attorney General—a gratuitously racist post to fire up the base. Transparent and desperate.

The Trump administration said it is ending its deployment of immigration agents to Minnesota. They’re framing it as Minnesota agreeing to cooperate, but most of their statements are false. It’s Minnesotans standing firm and refusing to back down. The resistance only grows. Minnesota strong 💪

Everyone in the White House involved in any way with that vile, sickening racist Trump post must be fired immediately: everyone in the communications department, everyone in the press office, every deputy chief of staff, everyone involved up and down the line. Not one more tax dollar for this filth.

BREAKING: President Trump removes a racist video depicting the Obamas as apes. The White House initially defended the post, then blamed it on a staffer.

If Democrats haven't announced their proposal for the Donald Trump No Guns in Public bill by the end of the day, they're missing an easy shot

Trump: "With that being said, you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. You can't walk in with guns. You can't do that. But it's just a very unfortunate incident."

My Republican colleagues must take notice: The U.S. cannot base foreign policy on whether or not a president gets a prize. This is pathetic. It is petty and dangerous narcissism — behavior we might expect from a spoiled child, not the leader of a democratic nation.

Literally this year the MN Speaker was murdered at her home when a white male MAGA chud dressed up as a fake cop & killed her Now mere months later, MAGAs are shocked that daycare operators in MN wouldn't open doors for white male MAGA chuds dressed up as fake journalists, demanding access to kids😐

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Comer: "If we find that there's any type of effort to redact the names of victimizers -- people who were involved in terrible crimes against these women -- then I call tell my Oversight Committee will be the first to unredact and shine a light on those names."

Trump has now conducted 28 boat strikes, killing over 100 people. Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner. This is a danger to us all.

Donald Trump is a convicted criminal. The Trump administration is a criminal organization. This is an unprecedented constitutional crisis and we will need an unprecedented constitutional mechanism to repair the republic.

The Atlantic@theatlantic.com

The DOJ once considered crimes involving a breach of public trust "to be among the most serious offenses on the books"—but now Trump is "reshaping the American system of governance to make room for graft," the former pardon attorney Liz Oyer argues.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

🔥 @adammockler.com : “Trump wants to act like a monarch that gets gifts. FIFA just cashed in on that. They realized they can placate him. It’s humiliating that other countries are treating our president like a child. It should scare everybody who cares about the constitution.”

The whole world is being held hostage by a monkey with a flamethrower. And no-one’s sure they can get it off him before he presses the flame on button, so they’re just throwing bananas at him to keep him happy. It’s astounding.

They can and will bend anything to fit their narrative 🤬

According to Fox News, if you are a racist Young Republican you are still a "kid" when you are 34, but if you are an Epstein victim, you are an adult when you're 15.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?
