Remember how Mark Zuckerberg started cozying up to Trump as Meta donated $1 million to his inauguration?
Well now Zuckerberg is trying to cash in — reportedly lobbying Trump to settle the FTC’s antitrust lawsuit against Meta.
This is why you always follow the money.

The government ignored his protective legal status & deported Abrego Garcia. “Now they claim that the court is powerless to order any relief. If that’s true, the immigration laws are meaningless because the government can deport ANYONE & no court can do anything about it once it’s done.”

Your April Fools' Day reminder that trickle-down economics is the greatest trick of all. It's nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich corporations and the super-rich at your expense. Don't fall for it.

As he began speaking on the Senate floor Monday night, Cory Booker said that he intended to disrupt “the normal business of the Senate for as long as I am physically able,” citing his belief that “our nation is in crisis.”
He wasn’t kidding.

Fun fact: Senator Booker has been speaking for over 20 hours or roughly an hour longer than it would be to listen to Michelle Obama’s book “Becoming”.
The record is 24 hours and 18 minutes filibuster against the Civil Rights Act of 1957 by Sen. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina.

A Trump tic I've noticed recently is his hyping something as being so good it'll be "like you've never seen before"
It's empty and all-encompassing at once, the sort of replacement-level sales pitch you'd see from the fifth best salesman at your regional office who falls asleep in most meetings.
