So the border with Canada is an βartificial lineβ that was βdrawn with a rulerβ and should be erased.
But the border with Mexico needs military patrolling and a wall.
Got it.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.
Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal.
Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration.
See how this works?

There are numerous calls to investigate whether Trump and his cronies engaged in insider trading, pump and dumps, etc.

It won't be Congress.
You know who CAN investigate this?
NY AG Letitia James - who has jurisdiction over Wall St.
π¨ From a fellow BlueSky traveler: Homeland Security stormed LA schools without a warrant, targeting kids. Principals shut them down. Schools are not battlegrounds. We will not let our communities be terrorized. Stand up and fight back. #ProtectOurKids #DefendOurSchools

This is corruption, plain and simple.

I'm going to share the post of a family friend who has late stage cancer and will be directly affected by cuts to NIH. She is speaking out during the time she has. She wants people to know the human cost. Her name is Caroline. This is her post:
SICKENINGβTrumpβs DHS just deported a surgeon from Brownβwho is here legally on an H1B visa that doesnβt expire until 2027, & committed no crimes. Trained in the U.S. at Ohio State, University of Washington, and Yale as a **transplant surgeon**, she is a highly trained doctor on kidney transplants.

DOCUMENT DESTRUCTION:
My reporter Brett Murphy obtained a remarkable directive to folks at USAID: Empty the safes with the classified and personnel records and then,
"Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break."
Barbara Jordan was the 1st African American woman from the south elected to Congress in 1972. Prior to that she had been elected as President of the Texas Senate. In the US Congress she served 3 terms on the Judiciary Committee. She gave the opening remarks in Nixonβs impeachment. A hero to many!

Thereβs a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

Zelensky was berated, belittled, and gaslighted. He stood firm. That is what true strength looks like.π
