CHEATERS NEVER PROSPER and citizens of the USA, and Virginia, know that this administration and Republican led congress are unethical, immoral, and disloyal to their constituents! THEY DO NOT WORK FOR TRUMP

Today is a good day for democracy 💥

Donald Trump, Greg Abbott, and Mike Johnson tried to rig midterms… and still took the L.

Virginia voters understood the assignment. They saw it for what it was and obliterated it.

We need to IMPEACH because anything else still allows a pension, staff and office expenses and Secret Service.
"Legal Status: Because he resigned, he did not lose his benefits (which would only happen if convicted by impeachment)

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

Dismantling Voice of America was one of the most devastating things I’ve witnessed. VOA wasn’t propaganda, it was proof that free press could criticize its own leaders and still survive. And now we’re throwing away one of our greatest tools of freedom.

Of COURSE he's insider trading. He's a crook, he's ALWAYS been a crook, he's using the presidency to make billions.

He ran to stay out of jail, to make money and to feel powerful, because that's what a narcissist like him gets off on. It was never about helping people.

Imagine a California where families and workers don't just survive, they flourish. That’s the roadmap. 

Better schools, housing that’s affordable, cleaner air, and a health care system that sees you as a human being first.

Let’s make it happen.

Happy 89th Birthday George Takei!

George Takei, born on April 20, 1937, in Los Angeles, California, is an actor, activist, and social media phenomenon who has lived one of the most remarkable lives in American entertainment.

As a child, Takei and his family were forcibly relocated to Japanese...

GREAT LOOKING SHIT.

WTF??? I knew there would be a law suit, that Trump would loose and that reparations would be made...but companies started jacking up prices anyway. MORE wealth to corporations.

LOL This is our president's frame of mind!!
