THIS WAS MONEY FOR CHILDREN’S HEALTHCARE. A Florida grand jury found $10 MILLION meant to help provide health insurance for poor children was misappropriated for political purposes. Moody & DeSantis took money meant for kids. #GOPWarOnHealthcare

Picture shows a tortoise with trump's head, sitting on a fence post.

Text reads:

The old farmer said, "Well, as I see it, Donald Trump is like a 'Post Tortoise'." Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post tortoise' was.

The old farmer said. "When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a tortoise balanced on top, that's a post tortoise." 

The old farmer saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain. "You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, he's elevated beyond his ability to function, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put him up there to begin with."

Just got a political ad that said “if you vote for this candidate the SOCIALISTS win and more people will have access to health insurance!” Why is that scary for people?

Before the election, Trump said he could end the Ukraine war in a day. When pressed as to how he would do it, he said, elect me & find out. We found out. He had no plan. Let that be a lesson. If a politician running for office won't divulge their plans, they don't have any.

At a time when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction. But not Jack Smith. Kudos to him for continuing to be a much needed voice of clarity.

Warren: "This has been their argument every time -- they cut taxes and say, 'Ultimately it's really going to pay off for you.' What's happened every time? The academics study it very carefully and say, 'What really happened is the richest people got richer and everybody else got left behind.'"

Just in case it wasn’t clear, when they say the U.S. Government’s paying for this, that’s YOUR taxpayer dollars they’re using. I’ll say this as many times as I need to: it is ILLEGAL to use American taxpayer dollars from the government to pay for candidates’ or parties’ political ads.

Yesterday I sat down to watch Ohio State play Illinois, and in the middle of the game a Donald Trump commercial rolled across my screen, a glossy piece of self-worship paid for with your tax dollars and mine. Today I turned on NFL football. The same ad showed up twice.

Todd Blanche now says "one-sided news" is a national security threat worth barring the press over. That's not a legal standard. It's a viewpoint test. I didn’t go to law school…and didn’t need to, to know that the First Amendment exists to STOP government from judging which coverage is balanced.

It's already estimated that the richest 1% alone evade $163 billion in taxes every year. But Trump gutted the IRS — including the unit tasked with auditing billionaires. The agency's audit revenue fell 35%. Now, Trump's IRS is not publishing data on unpaid taxes. See the problem?

America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

Trump defying orders to restore press passes is him testing the waters to defy other orders, like not sending agents to polling stations or accepting election losses. He’s always testing waters. Hell in the past, after his indictments he screamed “if it was illegal why didn’t you stop me earlier?”
