This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

Latinos are turning way from Trump according to @pewresearch.org:

*70% disapprove of the way he is handling his job as president.

*65% disapprove of the administration’s approach to immigration.

*61% say his economic policies have made economic conditions worse.

Trump’s Gains With Latino Voters Are Evaporating
The GOP thought 2024 was the start of a realignment in their favor. But polls show Trump’s economic and immigration policies are erasing those gains.

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.
Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?

TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.

"The very fact that this nefarious, ethically vacant man, a man who wears his venality on his sleeve, could twice win the presidency and in all likelihood retire with billions in ill-gotten gains suggests that America is dangerously close to falling into a political sinkhole."

After Trump railed against her for floating impeachment, she responded caustically on social media.

“I’m a Bronx girl,” she wrote. “You should know that we can eat Queens boys for breakfast.”

Seven years after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez leapt onto the national stage as an outsider, she’s learned an inside game and is considering a run for Senate or president.

DC jury acquitted the Sandwich Guy. Lindsay Halligan can’t even bring an indictment because she’s not legit. Jeanine Pirro couldn't get a conviction because she’s incompetent.

As the judge pointed out, incompetent Pam Bondi completely screwed up the appointment of Halligan in violation of the law.
