It's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...
Trump "feels bad" for Max Miller who terrorized his family because Trump believes that women deserve what they get, even if it's a gun to the head.
Specifically, an epidemiologist! Which means if he so desired, there could be a future role for him, if not the US Senate, in a future Dem admn (head of HHS? Maybe Fauci’s old job? Possibilities are endless).

If SCREEN were to pass, you'd be required to scan your face and upload an ID to access this site because it allows "harmful" material. This affects you even if you don't care about sex work or porn.

The SCREEN Act is the biggest threat to your right to free, anonymous speech, ever. That this bill is very likely to be signed into law should send a chill down everyone's spines. Within the next month (or sooner), it will be the single most talked about topic in America - and rightfully so.

The whole purpose of the Senate is to "rein in" both the President & Congress, as may be necessary. Senators are supposed to be the "adults in the room" for our gov't, which is why they have longer terms. You had the majority, & still do. Do your job. #ProudBlue
