Ex-GOP Miles Bruner details how he
• worked for the GOP,
• found Trump too extreme,
• feared leaving,
• quit, and now
• urges others to quit.

Miles’ message might resonate with those who consider leaving the GOP:
My Last Day as an Accomplice of the Republican Party
Why I’m leaving the GOP and why I’m urging my former colleagues to do the same.

As a private citizen, Trump claimed he was entitled to money from the U.S. government.

Now as president, he could authorize a taxpayer-funded payout to himself, possibly over $100 million, with no obligation to disclose it if structured as a settlement.
Trump has claimed millions from the government. He has power to order payment.
President has claimed he was damaged by investigations and wants compensation. “It sort of looks bad. I’m suing myself,” he acknowledged.

I think it should be a bigger deal that one of the January 6th rioters Trump pardoned was arrested this week for plotting to kill Hakeem Jeffries. I’m barely seeing anybody talk about it.

Today in America, the rich are getting richer & working families are struggling.

What is Mr. Trump doing about this?

He's getting ready to give tax cuts to billionaires while making it harder for Americans to access the Medicare, Social Security & veterans benefits they earned.
