They’re taking our investment—the money that we spent months writing grants for, the hours and hours we all spent reviewing each others’ work, the money that was supposed to go to libraries and community groups—and blowing it on this nonsense.

Beyond parody headline in the NYT. Can't decide whether they're deliberately trolling us at this point, or whether they need to fire all their headline writers.

Watch this WH video again—this time knowing her grandkids are suing because they haven’t seen a dime from the GoFundMe or four fundraisers held after their mom, Rachel Morin, was killed. Looks like a grift—and Trump’s team still used Patty Morin to smear an immigrant who had nothing to do with it.

Autism isn’t an epidemic. It's not a disease. It’s a natural variation in how people think…which, frankly, is a relief in a world where most people don't think at all.

🚨 Kilmar Abrego García vivía legalmente en Maryland. Sin cargos. Sin antecedentes. El gobierno de Trump lo deportó ilegalmente a una prisión en El Salvador. Luego, un juez federal ordenó que lo trajeran de regreso. La Corte Suprema estuvo de acuerdo. Pero el gobierno de Trump se negó a obedecer.

It works. The government here largely works. Because we are so spoiled by how well it works, we are letting a fool convince us it is broken.

The Republican tax plan is now projected to cost up to $5.5 TRILLION. 70% of the benefits are set to go to the richest 5% of Americans. Republicans will either blow a giant hole in the deficit or go after our earned benefits to pay for it. This isn't just a scam—it's a heist. #BillionaireTaxBailout

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Auschwitz — a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps — was not located in Nazi Germany either.

There are numerous calls to investigate whether Trump and his cronies engaged in insider trading, pump and dumps, etc. But it won't be DOJ. It won't be the SEC. It won't be Congress. You know who CAN investigate this? NY AG Letitia James - who has jurisdiction over Wall St.
