MacCALLUM: You have about 100,000 dying from drug overdoses, most of those drugs from from Venezuela and other places
CROW: That's actually not true. The majority of the deaths by drugs in America are the result of meth and fentanyl. Almost none of that comes from Venezuela

This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.
And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

A few reminders about the SCOTUS immunity decision for Presidents:
It does not provide immunity for prior crimes.
It does not provide immunity to the President's cabinet.
Similar to Roe v. Wade, it can be overturned in the future.

If Trump is innocent, why is he, his DOJ, Maga Mike, and so many others behaving like he's blatantly guilty?

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

DOJ said that the redactions were to protect the victims' privacy. How does removing Trump's name protect the privacy of the victims?
It doesn't -- except that Trump and his DOJ are treating him as a victim.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

An executive order is not law it’s a memo. It’s a creative writing exercise, a cheap photo-op, it’s as worthless as a degree as Trump University unless congress passes legislation in support of it.
