I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.
It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

In Albany, Georgia, Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital paid an exorbitant sum to acquire its crosstown rival and became the town’s only hospital.
But as the company’s debt increased, patients suffered.

Neither Netflix nor the Paramount/Trump/Saudi Arabia group should own Warner Bros. Both deals are absurd - terrible for consumers and democracy.
This is a story about corruption - Trump using government power to screw consumers and gain control of the media. A red alert moment.

So when the #AmericanGestapo says their arrests involve people committing crimes, they are technically correct. But the criminals are in ICE, not Home Depot parking lots or street taco stands.
Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too?
A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.

In this article about likely hacking of Tennessee's special election Tues, look closely at the graph. Note how as one moves right, where more total votes are counted, the GOP suddenly spikes up to 65-70% of vote totals. This is a clear pattern of hacking.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.
