Trump’s promise to throw out the bad guys has become deporting working moms and students while selling pardons and visas to transnational criminals.

Right, because the best way to revitalize American manufacturers is to...tax them to death on their input costs. Solid thinking. 🙄

NEW from me at MSNBC: The wildly irresponsible GOP tax bill: - Costs more than the 2017 TCJA, 2020 CARES Act and 2021 American Rescue Plan - Combined. - Is a special interest bonanza that won't help economy. - Spends $52B bailing out farmers. - Is already raising interest rates.

Arbitrary executive power wielded for personal enrichment and retribution. State central planning imposed by ever-fluctuating whim. Vast debt financing at rapidly rising interest rates. Markets replaced by economic warfare against fellow democracies.

i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet

The country with the most sophisticated intelligence capabilities in the world, and the president is holding up "a months-old blog post" from an obscure, conspiracy-mongering site "featuring a photo from the Democratic Republic of Congo" while making allegations against South Africa to its president

I'm blocking people who sneer at Pence doing this. Yes, I have problems with Pence too, but why sneer at someone for doing & saying the right things, even if they haven't always said & done the right things? Doing this right now takes balls, probably more than you have, anonymous internet jockey

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one. All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

The Trump Admin is stripping student visas & cracking down on immigrants over anti-semitic statements on social media. But one of the 59 Afrikaner refugees they let in said Jews are "untrustworthy and dangerous" among other things. More: www.thebulwark.com/p/an-afrikan...

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

Investigate the country illegally bribing the president, but not for the whole bribery thing, but because they legally donated to Harvard, the university the president is attacking because it acted according to Constitutional rights rather than violated them as he demands. Can't get more obvious.

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.
