H.R. 1897 is moving fast in the House and could hit the floor for a full vote as soon as tomorrow. This bill would gut the Endangered Species Act forcing economic impact considerations into listing decisions, limiting your ability to challenge bad science in court,
If this man had murdered eight strangers the story would lead every news outlet. But because they are his children, it's "family violence," "domestic violence" -- undeserving of the same attention. Even though this violence is much more common

Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates.
Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them.
The system is rigged.

🔥SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 BILLION— as he leads 🇺🇸 diplomacy + asks sheikhs for billions more… Never have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia taking corruption to spectacular new heights.”
How many different ways does he want Americans to suffer & die?
Food banks are not part of a safety net. they are proof we do not have a safety net.
Sometimes the preface to the question actually answers the question...🤷♂️
Remember the coked out, stuffed shirt, corporate charlatan character from the first "Die Hard" movie? The one who tries to get Bruce Willis to turn himself over to the terrorists & gets his head blown off by Hans?
That's who I see every time Jared Kushner crops up as an "envoy" or "negotiator"...
Kash Patel. "See you in court, bring your checkbook." Said the man who fired the Iran counterintelligence team days before an Iran war. Priorities, folks. Priorities.
Kash Patel's erratic behavior at the FBI could cost him his job.
His colleagues describe unexplained absences and excessive drinking, which have alarmed colleagues and his security detail.
Sources describe Patel's tenure as a management failure and his behavior a national security vulnerability.

As an American. I make the decision to buy a gun and go shoot somebody. I get convicted and go to jail.
An a health Insurance exec. I make the decision to deny care and kill someone. I get a bonus.
Trump’s Iran lies boil down to two possibilities:
1. A blatant pump-and-dump scheme to enrich his inner circle.
2. He’s completely lost his grip on reality.
Federal crime or mental collapse — take your pick. Both are a disaster.
Facts, according to Pete 😳😳😳😡
Screenshotted excerpt from linked article reading as follows: "In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis. When colleagues warned the chief justice that he was proposing an unprecedented move, he was dismissive. “I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical,” he wrote. But he argued that the Obama plan, which aimed to regulate coal-fired plants, was “the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the power sector,” and too big, costly and consequential for the court not to act immediately."

New York Times got receipts on John Roberts being like, 'I know this isn't how anything works, but a Democratic president is about to implement a policy!!'

The worst possible tactic you can use when negotiating a deal with a regime like Iran is to dunk on them in public during negotiations. Any knowledgeable seasoned diplomat knows this. But we have Mr. Art of the Deal who needs to feed his cult and the markets a steady diet of BS.
Hey, so ICE is still kidnapping and disappearing people in the United States.
Just because they got quieter about it doesn't make it okay.
Abolish ICE. Chinga la Migra.
Iran fired at a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz early Saturday after reimposing restrictions on the waterway in response to a U.S. blockade on Iranian ports.

It real funny how Congress keeps failing by the exact number of votes needed to not do a single damned thing.

Donald Trump is a reflection of what America has become: a nation comprised primarily of uneducated, arrogant, racist buffoons without a conscience or even basic social skills, scamming their way thru life with impunity while believing that laws apply only to other people— never to them.
