One of the things that has happened due to the Roberts Court’s feckless, Illogical and corrupt presidential immunity ruling is that many of his enablers and sycophants have failed to realize that just because he has immunity for illegal acts (“a dog’s obeyed in office“ & worse than dogs”) they don’t

WTF is Jared Kushner doing at an official Ukrainian Peace Deal negotiation??? He’s not a member of any Cabinet. So any civilian nobody can just sit in on Government negotiations now? That can’t be legal (not that this regime cares about the law)?!

🧵I fully believe that Trump and Epstein's rivalry went far beyond real estate and trading in secrets.
Epstein showed Trump, in detail, how to turn their shared, criminal sexual proclivities into a lucrative business.
One that Trump was already running under the cover of his beauty pageants.

What made Trump's use of that word in regard to Tim Walz is that Tim's son Gus has a non-verbal learning disorder.

Walz on Trump calling him the r-word: "We all know both as an educator & parent that using that term is just so damaging. It's hurtful. We have fought 3 decades to get this out of our schools. Kids know better. But this is what Donald Trump has done. He's normalized this type of hateful behavior."

There are flyers circulating and even mailers showing up in people’s mailboxes in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District that list the wrong date for the upcoming special election. Voters are being told to vote on the incorrect day.

The explosion in CEO pay relative to the pay of workers isn’t because CEOs have become so much more valuable than before. They've just gamed the system to line their pockets. Is it any wonder why so many working people feel the game is rigged against them? (It is.)

Seizing another country's airspace is an act of war.
Presidents of the United States don't have that authority. It's a Constitution thing. Have you ever read it?
If he follows through and Congress allows it, we no longer have a Constitution or a president.

In the last week, Donald Trump has called for the murder of Congressional Democrats and threatened to unilaterally declare an invasion of Venezuela.
If Congressional Republicans followed the Constitution, both of these would be removable offenses. But, they’re loyal to Trump, not the constitution.

Here’s my take on politicians.
We’ve been programmed to believe politicians represent us.
We’ve been led to believe everything they do is in our best interest because we voted for them.
Guess what? With the exception of a very few they don’t care about anything you want.
Just what they want
