I’ll say this and then I’m gonna step back b/c 2026 IS THE ONLY NATIONAL ELECTION THAT’S IMPORTANT NOW. No Dem presidential candidate wins w/o high Black turnout & vote.

Donald Trump is, without a doubt, the MOST CORRUPT person to ever sit in the Oval Office. And these idiot Republicans and conservatives are fine with it. They have no morals, values, principles, ethics, integrity or honor. They are hypocrites. We should call them out EVERY DAY.

The Trump Justice Department is failing to hold Boeing accountable. After two planes crashes and 346 deaths, Boeing gets a slap on the wrist. This deal sends a dangerous message that, under President Trump, corporate executives can put profit over safety and never face justice.

Warnock: You literally have, in real time, the leader of another nation-state—in this case, South Africa—there to talk to him about trade, and he’s saying, “Sorry, Mr. President, we don’t have a plane to offer you.” And you see why we have an Emoluments Clause in the first place.
