Scott Bessent built his legacy shorting currencies…profiting from economic instability. Now he’s running Treasury, tasked with protecting the dollar. That’s like putting a shark in charge of the aquarium. Stewardship and speculation don’t mix.

Kilmar Garcia was mistakenly deported.

The WH mistakenly sent a demand letter to Harvard.

A US citizen was mistakenly arrested and held by ICE in Florida.

... these aren't mistakes. They're tests.

Of the 238 Venezuelans deported, at least 137 had legal status in the U.S., such as pending asylum cases or humanitarian parole.

101 were deported under regular deportation orders, that's due process.

The 137 need to be returned to receive due process.

That said, Venezuelans shouldn't go to E.S.

Tjos is really important. Please share
Sen Van Hollen met with El Salvador's Vice President Félix Ulloa, who told him that the reason they are holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia at CECOT is because the Trump admin is paying them to do so.

They also provided no evidence that Abrego Garcia is part of MS-13 or committed any crimes.

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price.

Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

First they came for the Venezuelans, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Venezuelan...

The 100 lowest-paying major US corporations spent $522B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2023.  

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned just $34k. 

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $14.7M.

See the problem?

The U.S. government spent $710 billion in Trump’s first month, an increase from the same period a year prior. Cost-cutting efforts are ineffective, and job losses are occurring without clear justification.

This is amazing!!! Please donate if you can
We’re less than $2500 away from making up Girls Inc of Metro Denver’s entire $70,000 federal funding cut. Wow!
Girls Inc offers mentoring + leadership programs for school-age girls. The non-profit says it recently lost $70k in federal funding after being deemed "gender ideology." @nexton9news.bsky.social viewers have raised $65k.

Trump's CFPB just dropped its lawsuits against:

-Capital One, for cheating depositors out of $2B+ in interest
-Rocket Homes, for providing kickbacks to agents and brokers
-Vanderbilt Mortgage, for trapping customers in risky loans 

It's open season for corporate crooks.
