Children get only two dolls and five pencils. Trump gets a free luxury jet.

What stage are we at with the Qatar jet?

Pam Bondi’s last job was as a lobbyist for Qatar at $115,000 per month… So, of course, she says the $400 million gold-plated 747 isn’t a bribe or emolument…

Well framed

Does Qatar charge extra for all the listening devices they’re putting in Swamp Force One?

When Trump... -Holds a private dinner for his crypto coin buyers  -Promotes Teslas on the White House driveway on behalf of a multibillionaire who spent $277M backing him -Uses state visits to advance his hotel business It's corruption, plain and simple.

“Waaaaah…I don’t care if it’s a bribe. I WANT MY PLANE! Waaaaah 😭😭😭”

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?

Make it make sense

Oops.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

The first American Pope, Leo XIV, has just been elected. Prevost, from Chicago, is deemed to be in the mold of Pope Francis—a progressive. Yes, this is real.

I did not have a social media influencer who didn’t finish a medical residency becoming the Surgeon General on my 2025 bingo card, but here we are…

People say Elon Musk is a stupid man’s idea of a smart man but that’s way off Musk is a Ritz cracker’s idea of quantum mechanics His rhetorical use of the solar absorption of Earth in 7.5 billion years to frame his transparently scammy Mars scheme as urgent is the Sistine Chapel of absolute gall

R's: We're going to cut Medicaid D's: People will lose their health insurance. R's: Liars! CBO: Actually, yeah, people will. A lot of people, in fact. Millions.

The latest from the pro-birth party…

NEWS: The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) analysis of various Republican plans for Medicaid spending reveals that, under every scenario laid out by the GOP, millions would lose insurance. The GOP's plans would have a disproportionate impact on low-income and elderly populations.

Hard to argue…

Sending love and support to our transgender service members. Thank you for your continued desire to serve and protect this country. I’m so sorry this pathetic draft dodger has any say in who can defend our country and the Constitution since he has no intention of doing either. 🤍🏳️‍⚧️
