Trump has set up a new club where CEOs, tech bros, and foreign oligarchs can pay $500,000 to join in order to get access to the Trump Cabinet who will all be there regularly. Just because the grift is all public doesn’t mean this isn’t the most corrupt White House in history.

It’s concerning me how overconfident people who want Pierre Poilievre to lose are sounding right now. It’s reminding me how sure people were that Trump would lose. Dont let Trump win in Canada. POLLS DON’T WIN ELECTIONS. TURNOUT DOES. Don’t assume. Vote. #CanadaStrong #ElbowsUp #VoteCarney

The President said of the U.S. economy: "We are a department store, and we set the price. I meet with the companies, and then I set a fair price, what I consider to be a fair price, and they can pay it, or they don't have to pay it." And then... I lost it.

Donald Trump is waging an all-out assault on our democracy and rule of law. After openly defying a Supreme Court order, calling for judges to be impeached, and bullying and belittling judges when he doesn’t like their decisions, today the FBI took the extreme and dangerous step arresting a judge.

A CNN host asked these creeps: “Does it matter to you all who has more babies in America, or is this a universal thing for you?" Eventually the husband came out and said yeah it does. He doesn't support possible "baby bonuses" for low-income people because they are "a drain on tax system"

This is deranged. Jan. 6 defendants were repped by one of the best public defender offices in the U.S. They were more likely to be released pretrial & got comparatively light sentences. SCOTUS threw out a bunch of convictions, which almost never happens. They got gold-plated due process!
