When our Supreme Court stated that money is speech and corporations are people they confirmed what we working people already knew. They made bribery legal. It appears some of the justices themselves were bribed. We need to get money out of politics and rid ourselves of bought office holders! 😏

Yes Rep Tom Emmer, we should be dealing with these school shootings at the beginning , not the end! We didn't have policemen, "Resource Officers" in schools before all these crazy people had guns. We still had crazy people but they didn't have so many guns! DEAL WITH THE GUNS!

Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"

This is pathetic. Oh how Trump has brought down our country. Inviting Putin to American soil to appease him. Not since at least the 1850’s have we had such a weak president. Maybe never.

Date of verdict in E Jean Carroll defamation suit: May 9, 2023. 2 years 3 months and she STILL doesn’t have her money. Our judicial system is fucked up. Among other things, it takes too long to get justice.

Trump reduced the tariffs on China in exchange for nothing. He paused the tariffs on Canada & Mexico in exchange for nothing. He postponed tariffs on EU in exchange for nothing. He threatened Russia with sanctions if they didn’t sign ceasefire & did nothing. Art of the Deal.

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

I know, I know, everything he says is nonsense, but claiming that the NY Times may have committed "tortious interference" for accurately quoting legal experts saying Trump's legal claims against CBS are baseless is... so beyond stupid.

The Secretary of the Navy, John Phelan, went to pay his respects to the servicemembers and civilians lost in Pearl Harbor on “June 7th, 1941.” It looks good, except Pearl Harbor happened on December 7th. It seems Mr. Phelan skipped that part of history class. Only the best people, right?

No attorney general should ever speak like this. She's Trump's advocate, not the people's lawyer, which is what the AG's job is. Whatever state she is barred in should start disciplinary proceedings immediately. This isn't subtle or arguable, it's wrong.
