Why is 🇺🇸 media not reporting on this 128 day Albanian protest of Kushner and Ivanka’s insane corruption?

This is psychosis. The president of the United States is psychotic. Is the media going to start talking about this, or continue to normalize it?

Can't believe trump would be bribing voters after Susan Collins assured us that he learned his lesson when she voted to acquit him in the Senate after he was impeached for trying to bribe Ukraine.

The Constitution says Congress, not the president, decides how your tax money is spent. Trump canceled $810 million Congress approved by running out the clock & the independent spending watchdog calls it illegal. Trump treats your money like it’s his #PayToPlayPresident #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Here's your annual reminder that in 2017, Trump put a 20% tariff on Canadian lumber that Biden increased as Americans rapidly lost the ability to afford starter homes. That's 9 years of the government double-taxing you to pick up a woodworking hobby.

We are 17 months overdue for liberating the concentration camps on US soil, and since then our bad karma has snowballed. We either need to activate and overtake these idiot-controlled atrocities to fulfill our humanitarian obligation by force, or #NationalStrike to defund them.

Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.

Trump will lie about the 2020 election. Trump will lie about the 2026 election. But, if Trump claims powers he does not have, or tries to undermine free and fair election, we will sue and we will win. If you doubt me, take a look at my record in beating him and his allies in court.

They never seem to mind that their fellow travelers are neo nazis and far right white nationalists until you point it out to them. Then, it's defamatory to them to mention it. Not all transphobes are nazis but all nazis are transphobic.

A car is one of the largest purchases you’ll likely make as a consumer. If you choose to spend that $50,000 on a Tesla, you’re choosing to support child genocide. Not buying a Tesla is one of the easiest things you can do to not be a garbage human being.
