Note, NYT assumes that DHS told the truth about what happened, which would be crazy because they literally Never Have when they shot someone, especially an American.

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.

When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

Donald Trump Snaps at Female Reporter Who Asks About Epstein Files: 'Quiet Piggy' Donald Trump Says 'Quiet Piggy' to Female Reporter Asking About Epstein Files

I don't understand why this isn't the only story and why he isn't giving his resignation.

I mean, I do. But still.

How can the president. THE PRESIDENT. Of the United States of America. The. President.

Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it.

Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators.

Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

So CBS settled Trump’s lawsuit where he frivolously sued because they edited Kamala Harris’s interview so it would fit into their air time.

Then CBS does a 73 minute interview of Trump where they made big edits from the version that was broadcast.

They aired 28 of 73 minutes.

What’s safe? How do we know? The anxiety of pregnancy in America. The way the government talks about pregnancy has transformed, putting choices about medications, vaccines and care under heightened scrutiny.

Trump and his administration are transforming not only how the government talks about pregnancy, but the health policy around it. Due to recent federal actions, physicians say they’re spending more time dispelling pregnant patients’ concerns about what care is safe for them. https://bit.ly/4nxHmNM

Happy Halloween. Trickle-down economics is nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich corporations and the super-rich. For working people, it's been 40 years of all trick and no treat. Enough.

If you have a RING door system, ICE has the right to request that footage and use it against you or your neighbors.

RING is partnering with the Gestapo.

πŸ—£οΈ Sen. @warnock.senate.gov:

β€œI’m a preacher, but I have to say this: what the hell?”

Families are being torn apart. Blackhawk helicopters in our cities. An American president calling his own people "the enemy within."

This is not normal β€” it’s abuse of power.

Yet Trump ignored every step, acting unilaterally through executive order, bypassing oversight, and ordering demolition as if he were a monarch. The result: the people’s house, altered without the people’s consent.

ICE fears put pregnant immigrants and their babies at risk Fear of deportation is deterring people without permanent legal status from critical care. Doctors are worried for their health β€” and the health of their pregnancies.

β€œMy biggest fear is going to the hospital."

Pregnant immigrants are terrified ICE will show up outside the doctors' office or at the hospital. So they're skipping the care necessary to ensure a healthy birth.

Some experience dangerous complications as a result.
