$20 Billion for an Argentina bank bail out to help Trump's rich friends
$173 Million for Kristi Noem's jet
$250 Million for a ballroom only billionaires have access to, not you

Millions are about to see healthcare costs rise & farmers are going bankrupt, and suddenly there's $0 for them

Also, all s/ read at least the volume 8 report of the (GOP-majority) Senate Intelligence Committee report, which also confirmed massive Russian misinformation, i. e., propaganda, influence on the 2016 presidential campaign.

Exactly. Years ago I read all of volume 1 (on Russian influence); I figured volume 2 (obstruction of justice) was covered enough in the public hearings.

Bondi put 1000+ personnel on finding and tagging Trump’s name in the Epstein files. There were training videos showing them how. I’ve filed a FOIA for those videos and have sued the government to get them.

Two days ago, he took a shit on the American people. Today, he began demolishing the People’s House. That’s all he does. He shits on people, and he destroys things. Bcuz he’s a horrible person. I blame him a lot for the death & destruction he’s caused. I blame his enablers & his appeasers even more.

3 small children run to escape ICE raid in Idaho—manage to find family.

"I didn’t get caught," boy says. "Nobody got some handcuffs on me."

Dozens of minors were among 100's detained—zip tied and separated from parents.

Agents chose to raid on "Family Night" at La Catedral Arena in Wilder, Idaho.

TY for that informed, and informative, column. Not mentioned as part of the selective prosecution defense is Trump's own massive theft of govt docs to his Perv-a-Lago lair in 2021 - violating the Espionage Act, the Presidential Records Act, and committing obstruction of justice.

I'd have to find which cases, but Trump tried to do this by sealing the dismissals in NY.

The defense attorneys were smarter than the schlubs Pam Bondi has doing her dirty work (or probably Emil Bove).

In exchange for getting to house migrants in El Salvador's notorious prison, the Trump administration agreed to give up top MS-13 cooperators, "a key step in hindering an ongoing U.S. investigation" into the Salvadoran government's relationship with the gang.

The deal would give Bukele possession of individuals who threatened to expose the alleged deals his government made with MS-13 to help achieve El Salvador’s historic drop in violence, officials said. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

And Santos has expressed no remorse.

Trump's message: Oppose him, and he'll use the law to punish you. Support him, and he'll use the law to shield you.
