This highlights a profound impact of Trump — the further normalization of violence against women. Trump got elected in spite of his long history of violence against women. He is not held accountable when he continues to abuse women. 1/2

Max Miller on why he's staying in the race: "When we go back to 2015 and 2016, & people in the media looked at President Trump, & everyone came out with allegations. Dozens of women, dozens of crazy allegations, dozens of nasty criminal misconduct. And you know what he did? He stayed in the fight."

Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.

I had to code and pronounce a time of death on a respiratory therapist colleague. There's a memorial plaque for her outside the emergency department to this day. I wrote and re-wrote my will. I will never forgive these ghouls trying to rewrite history and deny our experience.

“The extension of the National Guard deployment in Washington, D.C. until January 2029 will cost roughly $1.4 billion, according to a Defense Department estimate provided to Congress.“ This is insane.

The Trump administration fired the or buoys nonprofit firm representing immigrant children because they would not turn over data. Presumably the new firm will be more cooperative.

But the Trump administration has had a fractious relationship with the nonprofits. In 2025, HHS first moved to cancel the contracts outright, though that effort stalled due to litigation. The administration at the end of 2025 then began withholding payment from the nonprofits after demanding that they share sensitive information about their clients with the federal government.

This law firm was just awarded a $150 million/year contract to lead representation of unaccompanied minors through immigration proceedings. Seems really bad!

Joshua Daniel Wright (born January 20, 19/7) Is an American economist, attorney, and former government official. Wright was a commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) from 2013 to 2015. At the time of his nomination, Wright was the fourth economist to be an FTC commissioner. 2] Wright was a professor of law at George Mason University's Antonin Scalia Law School between 2004 and 2023, and was the exer tive director of its Global Antitrust Institute (GAI), (31[4] In 2023, Wright resigned from George Mason following eight allegations of sexual misconduct from former students, and a determination by George Mason University that he violated university policies relating to consensual relationships and professional ethics that constituted grounds for termination.

In addition to having no experience in immigration, their website shows Ilya Shapiro (!) and disgraced former law prof Joshua Wright (!) as Senior Counsel. I don't think this massive contract was awarded to give immigrant children effective, zealous advocacy. burkegroup.law/our-team/

📌Absolutely grotesque that Republicans have voted for the personal lawyer of a convicted felon to be OUR attorney general. One of the darkest, most dangerous days in American history, and proof again of the GOP's sickening and perverted notion of law and order, and so-called love of country.

Legalities issues are clear. Trump is to never be audited for his tax evasion. His kids are even protected as per the reported agreement. That's money meant to keep the government functioning & he wants to enrich himself with Blanche's deal. Trump is a thief. www.rawstory.com/todd-blanche...

Trump: "Look at the blue cities. What do they have in common? They're all dirty. They're filthy dirty. Their streets are dirty. Their streets smell. Their storefronts are broken. Their trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. It's really all of them."

The slush fund was always a decoy of sorts. They tossed their henchmen under the bus (who could see that coming) to lock down the tax immunity. The entire deal was corrupt. Both ends. Start to finish. This is how Blanche does the job. Not reason to confirm him; it's proof he should be rejected.
