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.

The DOE just cut multiple fields from the “professional degree” list, shrinking loan access for future workers. Nursing, PAs, PT, OT, audiology, public health, social work, & education master’s all got dropped.

A "direct inverse correlation" between fluoride exposure and low IQ" means the more fluoride you get, the higher your IQ. What he's looking for is a "direct correlation," but he doesn't know what any of these words mean or how science works.

Bondi declares war on Democracy and the concept of an independent judiciary. I knew post Parkland that @PamBondi was indecent, and we knew from her time as Florida AG and Trump University that she was for sale. Pam, there is a name for people who sell themselves for money.
Bondi declares war on the courts: "What has happened to our judiciary is beyond me ... they are deranged ... we are sending a very strong message today ... we will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you."

Imagine if Joe Biden, newly in office, had launched a company with Hunter Biden and used his social media to recruit financial backers.

Then promised the most generous among them would earn an invitation to a private dinner with him ... Trump just did that.
