Warren: Whenever there’s a crisis anywhere in the world—terrible things happen—and investors, you know what they do? Investors go to the United States government treasuries, because damn, it just doesn’t get any safer than that. Except with Donald Trump as president.

Forget about the legal case. A man was wrongly deported and placed in a notorious prison with leaders of a gang out to get him. Anyone with an ounce of basic human decency would fix the mistake and return that man to the United States

‘Fawning’ is a response where a person gives a servile display of exaggerated flattery in order to gain favor or advantage. AKA: ass-kisser, bootlicker, toady, suck-up brown-noser, etc.

If Jesus were here right now, speaking the words attributed to him in the Gospels, performing the acts of kindness described there—Trump and his followers would never give him a moment's peace. They'd hate him. They'd cancel him. They'd crucify him. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/forget-ant...

@warren.senate.gov: "State attorneys general have the same opportunity to investigate, dig in, get what the facts are.

This White House is a threat to our most basic rights. This is unacceptable. Mahmoud Khalil should be home with his wife awaiting the birth of their son, not criminalized for free speech and threatened with deportation. Our destinies are tied. We need to raise our voices now.

Yo! Shoutout to AOC & Bernie for leading by example — showing up, speaking truth & organizing w/the people, not just talking at them from D.C. We need that same energy from all Dems. Whether it’s 35,000 or 35 people — show up. Hit the streets, hit the town halls, show you’re ready to fight for us.

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.
