If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Elon Musk's net worth just hit $800 billion. How?
One of his corporations acquired another one of his corporations.
Meanwhile, Elon's companies pay next to nothing in federal income taxes and get billions of dollars in government contracts.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Minnesota is turning out. Target stores packed with people Trump never expected—older white liberals, calm, organized, immovable. No chaos, no fear. Just deliberate bodies applying steady pressure. Protect them. This is disciplined, defiant resistance.

10 days is too long to wait to rein in an out-of-control ICE.
I voted no on the DHS funding bill, because I could not allow them to continue to kill Americans and terrorize communities, for even one more day.
