This chart is the most damning repudiation of the 2024 Biden-isn't-fixing-student-debt dead enders even possible, good gawd look at that y-axis over the last six years. Genuinely astonishing how many of them STILL argue he didn't do anything; at this point I think we can just call them liars.

It will surprise y’all to hear that there are no “Muslims taking over the state” and there is no “sharia law” in Texas that threatens anyone.
This is genuinely disgusting.

-Dropkin is more reserved than the semifinal; he doesn't have to respond to a big italian crowd

First the Trump administration had smiling influencers toting around Epstein File binders.
It then oscillated between declaring itself a savior of the victims…and smearing them.
And now, as seen last night, in still trying to cover up whatever it can, it also keeps tripping over itself on Twitter:
