The U.S. government can seize the assets of criminals prior to a conviction. It happens all the time. At a minimum, the U.S. government should take Trump’s bribe plane and all the money he made above his government salary as ill-gotten gains. In addition, the U.S. government should seize his gifts

Dammit. I am so mad I posted that. The Post pushed that, but doesn't say until the sixth paragraph that The Atlantic actually broke the news (and they don't link to the story when they finally acknowledged it). Here's a gift link to Nick Miroff's report: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

"Rank-and-file Americans are the backbone of this country, (from) both political parties," organizer Eric Deters said. "I want to tell you something, rich people, as a whole, suck." www.rawstory.com/eric-deters-... But this is the guy he supports wholeheartedly?

A lesson Jim Clyburn taught me as a young staffer: in DC there are show horses and workhorses. Always be a workhorse. Too many people run to the camera but never deliver. Full video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlSqexreCM8

The Dolly Parton Internation Airport in Nashville needs to have an Imagination Library on site providing books for children to read while traveling. It could be funded by donations and sales of Dolly items for parents. A legacy to go along with the naming of the airport. @dollyslibrary

@amyactonoh.bsky.social calls for a conditional moratorium on data centers in Ohio. Vivek Ramaswamy will let them run wild. Vote Acton for Ohio Governor!
Amy Acton supports  a conditional data center moratorium,  consumer protection,  water safety, ending data center tax breaks, stopping secret data center agreements,  using clean energy for data centers, and requiring labor standards for data centers.  Ramaswamy is a NO on all of those

All this energy for Fauci? Cool. Bring that same energy to the Epstein files. #SheShed
Graphic featuring Sen. Ron Johnson with an inset photo of Ta-Nehisi Coates. Text says Johnson’s Fauci phone probe recovered 34,000 text messages, 522 voicemails, and 3 contacts from 2014 to just before Fauci left the NIH. A quote from Coates jokes, “If Ron Johnson finds a ‘LOL’ from Fauci in 2017, we’re getting six more congressional hearings.”
