While DonaldTrump faced bankruptcies at home and sought trademark and hotel deals in Russia, his businesses operated in the shadow of money laundering and suspect-financing accusations

Gerrymandering lets politicians choose their voters instead of the other way around. Until we end that, it will remain difficult to achieve the things most Americans already agree on.
The issue was never the money. It was the priorities. They found $70 billion for ICE, but healthcare for all is somehow "too expensive."
7 mo into Covid-19 after grueling 24hr caring for child with the disease, who survived. Showered at hosp, returned to office & informed staff, wasn't retiring the next mo, as had planned. Photo of that moment. This is my "diary". Nobody can change the reality of pandemic for those who lived it...
Ask Yourself Bunky… Why No Legal Response To THIS?!?!👇🏽
Remember when David Hogg was running for DNC chair and the establishment stepped in and said we needed a responsible adult and then gave us Ken Martin, who throws his phone at his staffers? Also the DNC is $2 million in debt. But centrists still demand they should be in charge.
Todd Blanche claims there are "no leads" he can pursue related to the Epstein Files. There are over 3.5 million pages of the files. If that's genuinely what he believes, he's clearly NOT fit to be Attorney General.
Epstein files aren't worth seeing or discussing, but Fauci's personal diary...? THERE's our new distraction. I'd listen to this remarkable woman.
Every time Republicans start screaming about Fauci, ask yourself: What are they trying to distract you from? Are you sure it isn’t soaring costs, the housing crisis, healthcare, the Epstein files, or Trump’s war? #USDemocracy
"Texas has the highest number of uninsured people and the most rural hospital closures in the country. If Greg Abbott wanted to lower healthcare costs for Texans, he would've done it in the twelve years he's been Governor." Gina Hinojosa
The 6 largest oil companies will collectively rake in $45B in profits in the second quarter of 2026 — nearly double what they made in the first quarter. Meanwhile, Canada, France, and Spain are battling record-breaking wildfires spurred by the climate crisis. Big Oil profits while the world burns.
61 years ago, Medicaid was signed into law. 1 year ago, the GOP gutted it to fund tax cuts for the rich. Today, 61 co-sponsors are joining together to hold the GOP accountable for closing hospitals, terminating coverage for 15 million, and raising costs for us all. #HealthcareHeist
Dilley is run by ICE for-profit prison contractor CoreCivic (NYSE: CXW). Institutional investors, pension funds, foundations and endowments must divest from CoreCivic, as well as from GEO Group (NYSE: GEO). Do not reap profits from torture of kids. #Divest $CXW $GEO
Joaquin Castro@joaquincastrotx.bsky.social · last wk.112 children are imprisoned at Dilley. The youngest child imprisoned at Dilley is 2 months old. None have committed any crime. Private investors make money for each new child taken into Dilley. We need to #ShutDownDilley and end family detention.
Never tell US "both sides are the same" Dems ousted Plattner but MAGA/GOP allow wife/child abusers like Max Miller whose FIL is foul-mouthed Sen. Bernie Moreno to remain in office A man who will not even protect his own daughter shows how truly awful they are www.rawstory.com/bernie-moren...
The Epstein Class will assure that Todd Blanche is confirmed to protect them.
Nope. He shouldn’t even be allowed on the ballot. Ineligible means ineligible. Don’t entertain any of this absolutely criminal, unconstitutional nonsense. Full stop. 🛑
A federal judge just ordered all of the Epstein files to be turned over to him and DOJ must defend each redaction. This is solely because of Katie Phang’s @katiephang.bsky.social lawsuit. Yay independent journalism! #TRUMPANDEPSTEIN #EPSTEIN #EPSTEINFILES
As usual. GOP accusations are actually confessions.
