Has anyone asked the “private donors” why they choose to spend money on a ballroom for the few instead of reducing the national debt for all?

If these fools choose not to vaccinate their children , so be it, but if they infect one single medically fragile child, they need to pay. It only matters to republicans when it’s their money or, to a lesser extent, their children.

The trader made the bet that Bitcoin would plummet in value on Friday after opening their account “30 minutes before Trump’s announcement of 100% tariffs on China."

Not suspicious at all, right?

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

I’ve read a number of posts. Most of them are MAGA lying, as usual, about illegals voting & how our government must prevent that.

Please go to the site and comment. It’s one way to push back.

Fearless journalists & vigilant residents are telling Chicago's story. The shocking images show ICE agents out of control, people in danger AND people standing strong. Don't look away from this unprecedented abuse of federal power. My latest:

photos taken in Chicago over the past few weeks showing ICE agents, and Chicagoans reacting including a man with a flag walking through tear gas clouds, a pastor being sprayed with tear gas, an ice agent pointing a gun out a window, a bike messenger being chased by ICE
