This guy went to jail for screwing over nurses and doctors at his nursing homes—taking $10 million from their paychecks to buy a yacht. His mom goes to a $1 million per person fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago, and now he’s pardoned. These are the people Trump looks after. Not you.

Justin Sun is a Chinese billionaire who was sued by the Biden SEC in a crypto case. He’s a major investor in Trump’s World Liberty Financial. He also spent $40M+ on $TRUMP coins, earning an invite to dinner with Trump at his Va. golf club on Thurs. He apparently also got a private WH tour.

Somehow, Trump has declared that we’re under numerous national emergencies from the Southern Border Emergency to the Energy Emergency, Trade Emergency, Public Lands Emergency, and Immigration Enforcement Emergency. Yet these crises seem so “urgent” that he finds time to golf every weekend. Odd.

My choice, so far, for MN's open U.S. Senate seat. I'm definitely NOT voting for someone who takes pride in being one of the most "independent" members of Congress, who had to be persuaded AT LENGTH to impeach Trump 1.0. We need a voice for working families, not another Kirsten Sinema in the Senate!

My choice for MN CD2, so far. I'm not voting for carpetbaggers or millionaires who pay less in property taxes than I do.

To be clear, nothing - NOTHING - Joe Biden said 4 years, including his debate meltdown, comes anywhere close to the insanity, unreality, unhingeness, of Trump repeatedly insisting - even when the interviewer is letting his crazy lie pass - that it was a real image of his knuckles

New: We analyzed Trump's meme coin - At least 27 crypto wallets have picked up $100 million worth of $TRUMP coins since his team said the top holders would join him for an "intimate private dinner." Huge profit for Trump; "the most brazenly corrupt thing a President has ever done" wapo.st/4iAatO1

And Thom Tillis, up for reelection in 2026, was the key vote to confirm Hegseth along with Joni Ernst. Despite the fact that they knew he was unfit, they were afraid of Trump and put their political futures ahead of the country. Now they own every bit of this debacle.

Why can't these fascists distinguish between aiding and abetting a legally-protected US husband and father, and terrorism? It's because they don't want to; they're all in on their dear leader's never-admit-mistakes ethos.
