Donald Trump has sued everyone under the sun for anything and everything he could sue them for. However, he hasn’t sued anyone for calling him a pedophile, which would force him to prove, in court, that he isn’t a pedophile. Why do you suppose that is? 🤷🏼‍♂️🤔

I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help. 1/4

Just wanted to let you know that the IRS has audited every president annually for decades now to ensure there was no corruption and the reason you didn't know that was because only one president found that to be a problem

I did the math: Rick Scott's Medicare fraud--$1.7B in 2000 dollars--would be $3.3B today. That's 36X the $90M in fraud that Trump's is all worked up about in MN. Kash gave away the game: This is a big amount. In MN. It's teeny by FL standards, but for some reason they're not looking there.
A Kash Tweet: I've marked "in this district" with a red rectangle and written, "Kash's way of confessing he should be hunting fraud in FL, where Rick Scott's fraud decades ago was much bigger."

🚨🚨 Today - 15 individuals have been indicted for over $90 million in an alleged massive healthcare fraud scheme in Minnesota, after a sweeping FBI investigation with 
@TheJusticeDept
 and our Interagency Partners. 

These charges involve the two LARGEST Medicaid fraud cases ever charged in this district and first-of-their kind charges involving 7 additional Medicaid programs.

As alleged, the defendants defrauded Minnesota public healthcare resources for tens of millions, targeting programs such as Housing Stabilization Services, Child Care, Medicaid programs, Individualized Home Supports (IHS), and more.

Ein ruhiger Blick durch eine dichte Umrahmung aus grünen Blättern auf einen stillen See. Im Vordergrund rahmen belaubte Zweige von oben und von den Seiten das Bild ein. Am rechten Ufer sitzt ein Blässhuhn auf einem ins Wasser ragenden, kahlen Ast. Die glatte Wasseroberfläche spiegelt den hellen Himmel und die fernen, bewaldeten Hügel wider. Am gegenüberliegenden Ufer sind vereinzelt Häuser zwischen Bäumen zu erkennen.

This week, the Supreme Court finally killed off the Voting Rights Act of 1965. I've spent the past decade studying the VRA and the attacks on it, so I thought I would offer some historical perspective, and where I think we're headed. This will be a long thread; buckle up.

By 2028, Republicans could target VRA seats in:
Alabama: 2
Florida: 1
Georgia: 2
Louisiana: 2
Mississippi: 1
South Carolina: 1
Tennessee: 1
Texas: 2 (Texas Republicans could further weaken another 4 VRA seats held by Democrats that they already targeted in 2026 and 2 seats that Republicans currently hold)
Total: 12
