Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism.

A 🧵
It looks like Vivek has taken over the Ohio GOP in his run for Governor.
On the one hand, his candidacy is a risk to Ohio’s future, as he makes one reckless proposal after the next—doubling down on policies already

When a people is being starved, children die first. Israel is intent on wiping out the children in Gaza. It is killing a whole generation of children first using this method.

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal.
Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration.
See how this works?
