Graham Platner tells Tommy Vietor that while his response to many of his old Reddit posts was “oh god,” he stands behind his question about “why Black people don’t tip” because he was legitimately curious.

And, of course he has a Black friend who is also a bartender.

What. The. Fuck.

it's dizzying to me that stories like this -- a corrupt grift built on democracy-wrecking lies that culminated in a coup attempt -- barely breakthrough anymore. they're just daily background noise now.

COLLINS: The NYT is reporting your legal team is seeking $230 million from your own DOJ now in response to the investigations into you. Is that something you want?

TRUMP: It could be, yeah. I don't even talk to them about it. All I know is they would owe me a lot of money. They rigged the election.

Trump is extorting his own Justice Department for $230 million in taxpayer funds.

He refuses to open the government or lower health care costs — but he's eager to steal YOUR money to enrich himself.

Unprecedented, unfathomable corruption.

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

Millions of Americans are about to lose subsidies for healthcare. The government is shut down and federal workers aren’t being paid. Groceries and rent are at an all time high and this fat MF is demanding $230M from the DOJ for past cases against him?! Of my tax payer money?!

look.
if your organization jumped the gun and endorsed a dude this week because you wanted to stomp on the announcement of another candidate, only to find out a few days later that had you vetted him, you would've found a lot of racism and a nazi tattoo, it's ok if you say you made a mistake.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

I spent $400 on groceries yesterday and that was just a week’s worth of groceries and some household supplies. Publix has truly lost their mind with their prices. They’re a monopoly in Florida and it sucks. There’s no comparable alternative.
