When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

As with Brett Kavanaugh, when Trump picks someone who can't pass an FBI background check, Donald doesn't choose a better candidate, he has his people interfere with the background check and/or block its release. Sexual assaulters stick together, y'all!

Alito spoke with Trump on Tuesday, not long before Trump’s lawyers asked the Supreme Court to delay his sentencing following his conviction in a New York fraud case. "Alito said the call was a routine job reference for a former law clerk." He doesn't care. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/08/u...

It is truly wild that it is estimated that more than 20 million people died of Covid and the prevailing vibe is that the world overreacted. That is an astonishing toll! More people died of Covid in the US than in the Civil War. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...

CNN is hopelessly broken. 1. This "expansion" would require military invasions of several allies in violation of international law. 2. It would violate several treaties. 3. The Louisiana Purchase was the sale of land by a colonial power (France). These are sovereign nations.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
