The lawsuits aim to prevent federal officials from destroying evidence related to Alex Pretti’s killing and to end the surge of immigration officers in Minnesota.

Please read and share. The “grassroots” support for the SAVE America Act is a lie. The campaign pushing this bill is being run by Cleta Mitchell and Scott Presler, two of the most notorious election deniers in the country.

Elon Musk’s net worth has now surpassed $600 billion, just weeks after Tesla approved his 10-year, $1 trillion pay package. That could amount to $100 billion per year — more than 1.4 million elementary school teachers’ paychecks combined. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

Trump wants to dismantle NATO to appease Putin. And although Putin demands Ukraine give up its goal of joining NATO, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy remains steadfast in pursuing NATO membership. #50501 #50501Movement #Trump #Ukraine #NATO
What is NATO? In 1949, 12 countries from Europe and North America came together to sign the North Atlantic Treaty. Its core purpose is clear and simple: a joint pledge by each country to assist the others if they come under attack, aimed at containing possible Soviet aggression.

What’s happening at the Supreme Court this week is bigger than just one FTC commissioner. The majority seems ready to endorse the “unitary executive” theory, giving Trump the power to purge agency staffers and replace them with loyalists. It’s a frightening prospect we should be paying attention to.

Neither Netflix nor the Paramount/Trump/Saudi Arabia group should own Warner Bros. Both deals are absurd - terrible for consumers and democracy. This is a story about corruption - Trump using government power to screw consumers and gain control of the media. A red alert moment.
