Yes but I think her chances are slim

We don’t want her back but I’m down with never hearing from her again

Very cool. I’m just a little dot in the teardrop of progressive American democrats. Couldn’t find the librarians or bookish folk, oh well

‘Spy Sheikh’ Bought Secret Stake in Trump Company $500 million investment for 49% of World Liberty came months before U.A.E. won access to tightly guarded American AI chips.

This is corruption on a breathtaking level. Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, an Abu Dhabi royal nicknamed the "spy sheikh", pumped $187mn into Trump family businesses. A WSJ team has the whole story, reported here for the first time. Remember: Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm.

I witnessed ICE using tear gas on children.

They shattered a window of low-income housing where a disabled vet lives. He got gassed in his own home.

Where do I go to get my apology from Corporate Media for amplifying obviously absurd disinformation about Trump pivoting in Minnesota that did not even last 24 hours before he explicitly renounced the lie?

I don’t know about an apology but if Trump can sue everyone and their mother for $10 billion, I don’t see why we can’t too.

Leon Postsat to and rear analyaro latcome at tub has released is latest study faugust, 2023) on the 'he methodology for this study included affordability, economy, education & health, quality of life, and safety as their categories of measurement.

This is just performative politics and will only result in lawsuits. We’ve been under Republican rule for decades now. The result: we’re ranked near the bottom of all states in education, health care, economy, etc. Republicans would do better to address real issues, not manufactured ones.

This is almost certainly correct. Stephen Miller was one of the creators of the immoral family separation policy-which still haunts hundreds of children to this very day

Please contact your senators & ask them to make this demand
