By the way, when Ingraham asks Homan about the 50 K in a bag, and he doesn’t deny it but just says I did nothing illegal, it’s pretty obvious that it or something very much like it happened. And if it did, crazy to shut down investigation so soon. Pretty clear administration isn’t being straight.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Trump reduced British auto tariffs to benefit luxury carmakers like Rolls Royce. Meanwhile, the costs of essential goods like strollers, medications, and clothing are skyrocketing. So the rest of America has to go without but he's happy to help his rich friends buy luxury cars?

I'm watching the serious meltdown by Trumpists about the new pope, but hey, did they REALLY expect they would get a pope that would support their core policies of weakening health care, abandoning the poor, imprisoning immigrants & political opponents, & destroying the environment?

The GOP budget plan kicks 5.5 million off Medicaid—and 2.4 million will be left with no health insurance at all. This isn’t belt-tightening. It’s a death sentence dressed up as “fiscal responsibility.” #MomsForMedicaid

I didn’t give a wit about new pope coverage, but the first American pope being a man with Black ancestry born in Chicago by way of New Orleans by way of Haiti. Names his self after the pope who condemned slavery? In the Trump era? Oh, baebae, I am HERE for it. www.wwltv.com/article/news...

Pope Leo XIV's grandparents were 7th Ward Creoles
The newly elected pontiff, born in Chicago, has ancestral ties to the city’s historic Seventh Ward, according to genealogists at The Historic New Orleans Collection.

In other words another loon, completely unfit for the job to which she has been nominated. Narcissist Trump, entering his last years, doesn't really care whether anyone survives him or not. In fact, if sunsetting all the rest of us gave him a last little thrill of potency, he'd jump at it.
