At least 56 people have died in ICE custody during Trump’s second term. According to ICE’s internal reviews, detention staff did not provide sufficient medical care to at least six of those detainees. ICE has now taken down those reviews from its website. What other cruelty is ICE trying to hide?

it didn't even occur to me that the government might try to execute someone a second time if they torture the person but fail to kill them during a first botched attempt. truly grotesque and a moral stain upon all involved.

The American Bar Association laid out the receipts. Big donors get appointments. Big money flows in, investigations disappear, pardons follow, regulations loosen and foreign governments get favorable treatment. The article calls it an “unprecedented pay-to-play culture.” #PayToPlayPresident

Household debt at a record high. Student loan defaults at a record high. Credit card debt at a near record high. Meanwhile, corporate profits are the highest they’ve ever been. CEOs are paid 325x more than their typical workers. U.S. billionaire wealth is up 30% in a year. It's unsustainable.

White men on welfare is a FACT! The biggest WELFARE QUEEN is Elon Musk! If White MEN stopped voting Republican in RED STATES, then they would be able to find a job! Nothing wrong with being on welfare, the problem is when racists use it against others! Their racism is the problem!

Trump’s approval rating remains low, hovering around 30% in some polls. Poor economic data and fierce infighting within the MAGA camp are casting a shadow over the GOP’s prospects. Ahead of the midterms, Democrats are preparing for legal battles, while Trump faces the risk of impeachment.

The Trump DOJ keeps violating the law & keeps losing in the courts. So now they’re filing judicial misconduct complaints against judges they don’t like, even Trump appointees. I call out Todd Blanche for his rank hypocrisy as he runs around the country in partisan events. youtu.be/nZ_nR2s-ReU?...
