The Trump family is taking crypto payoffs in the middle of Fifth Avenue. Who will stop them?
From a Persian Gulf dictator to a trucking magnate, a shocking line to pay off the Trump family in crypto is growing.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.
With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

The mass firing of Inspectors General by the Trump Administration without grounds and advance notice to Congress is a clear violation of the law.
But, of course, we know the cause: Trump wants no accountability for malfeasance in office.

This is NOT a reason for exercising the pardon power & it's not a legitimate use of presidential authority even if Trump is legally entitled to do it. Rewarding people for their political support of your candidacy by pardoning their kids is a sign of political corruption.
