The Trump administration has released a three-time felon and five-time deported immigrant because he's going to testify against zero-time felon Abrego - all to cover their tracks for mistakenly and illegally sending Abrego to El Salvador and then lying about it to the court to cover it up.

Democrats are terrified of primaries. And that's a mistake. Vibrant primaries produce better candidates, stronger campaigns, new technology, and a lot of highly engaged activists. It's good for the party overall—both in 2026 and in 2028.

The top 7 donors gave over $1bil to Trump. This is how an oligarchy entrenches itself in a democracy.

The image is a chart titled "Top Donors in 2024 Election," showing contributions to campaign committees and independent groups. It notes George Soros donated $179 million in 2022, much unspent until 2024. Donors are categorized as "Solidly Republican/Conservative," "Solidly Democratic/Liberal," or "Leans Republican/Conservative." Top donors include:
Elon Musk: $291,482,587 (Solidly Republican/Conservative)

Timothy Mellon: $197,047,200 (Solidly Republican/Conservative)

Miriam Adelson: $148,304,900 (Solidly Republican/Conservative)

Richard & Elizabeth Uihlein: $143,489,936 (Solidly Republican/Conservative)

Kenneth C. Griffin: $108,402,284 (Solidly Republican/Conservative)

Jeffrey & Janine Yass: $101,128,680 (Solidly Republican/Conservative)

Paul Singer: $66,800,800 (Solidly Republican/Conservative)
[...]

The chart notes "Solid" donors give over 85% to one side, "Leans" give 60%-80%, and "On the Fence" donors are more balanced. Source: OpenSecrets, created with Datawrapper.

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992. Was there a breast cancer epidemic?! NO. Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976. PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something. This is also about autism.

What some people aren’t factoring into their analysis is the reality that companies were buying tons of inventory to beat the tariffs. That’s cash taken from being able to invest or hire. In fact the probably cut costs and jobs as a result. #econsky

I explained it to several young teens today: imagine we wanted you to become more self-sufficient in the kitchen, so we decided to charge you $20 every time you got takeout. But also we have no food in the house, we won't let you go to the store, and also you don't know how to cook.

He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.
