If you got $1 million, you can pretty much commit any crime you want and Trump will pardon you. I would recommend Pam Bondi’s brother for representation. He seems to get the best results, for some reason.

From a Peruvian journalist: “Maybe Trump is what the U.S. deserves, the world police represented by a Texan sheriff who spits on the sidewalk and farts right after”. This is what we’ve become to the rest of the world.

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS. Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!” Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

Why do people assume that voting for the lesser of two evils just helps the right-wing agenda? How do they know whether or not someone was pushing for a more progressive option that ended up losing?

States with the highest GDP per capita. I guess this is why they hate the “coastal elites”.

Effective Corporate Tax Rates 1950: 50% 2025: 13% Top Marginal Tax Rates 1950: 91% 2025: 37% If you’re curious as to why the rich have so much and you have so little, these are good places to start.

The day after the election, I rewatched every policy promise Trump made on videos he posted on his campaign website. There were 93 total. Here is my Day 90 scorecard on those he has kept and broken. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Americans have been brainwashed into thinking that an “able-bodied” person should not get any SNAP benefits under any circumstances. What if the person can’t get or afford to get a job? Also, why are we more concerned about the poor potentially gaming the system and not the billionaires doing so?

If you have a public platform & spent years calming everyone down, telling us Trump was not a danger,was not racist, & arguing that the best way to deal w/Trump was to laugh at him, berated ppl who used the word fascist, insisted that the two parties are the same, admit YOU WERE WRONG.

In a competitive global economy, we need the best educated workforce in the world - doctors, nurses, dentists, plumbers, welders, electricians, etc. Young people should not have to go deeply into debt to get the education they and our nation need. We must make public colleges tuition free.

Trump’s goal is to follow Bukele’s popular “prison-state” model. Main obstacles to implement it: Stronger institutions in the U.S., much less significant gang activity and loss of popularity due to economic harm. But it will be implemented if we do nothing.

Are there any “non-donor class” Democrats in Michigan (like Kat Abughazaleh in Illinois)? Our main names here are: Gretchen “I believe in Trump’s tariffs” Whitmer, Elissa “CIA” Slotkin, Gary “DINO” Peters and Mallory “I miss my father’s GOP” McMorrow. Can we do a little better?

Incredible. The Trump administration calculated "tariff rates" by taking the US trade deficit with the respective country and dividing it by the country's exports to the US. And then the tariff rate of the US is often just set by cutting that made-up "tariff rate" in half.

Just because someone treats YOU kindly does not mean that that person is necessarily a good individual. “He was helpful to me. He is MAGA but he is a good person, I was so wrong” What if I told you that he enjoys watching the ICE raids and thinks that women only belong in the kitchen?

FFRF fights for freedom from religious coercion, not against personal belief. Public schools should educate, not indoctrinate. No child should be pressured into religious practices by the government. That’s not “control”—it’s the First Amendment.

Because the first question shifts the blame to the desperate, making their morality the focus, while the second question demands accountability from the powerful. It's easier to question survival than to challenge greed.
