Trump hates it when you take all "his" money and charge him with wire fraud to boot! Freeze his Ass...ets. #FuckDonaldTrump

‘Might have to give those millions back’: Legal experts say Jack Smith could seize Trump's fundraising cash https://www.rawstory.com/you-just-might-have-to-give-those-millions-back-legal-experts-warn-on-jack-smiths-trump-pac-fundraising-probe/

"I'm 23 yrs old. I feel so far from my age in my mind. Before Feb 24, 2022, I was like most men. I enjoyed computer games, saving money for my future, working, and attending school. I had a lot of friends and was a very social person.
Now 12 of the people I grew up with are now in different cemeteries across Ukraine. In Bakhmut many of my friends were killed and wounded. I saw three of them die in a mortar attack. One single mortar… 1/2

@AlliFlowers It’s the Trump template. Delay. Run the clock down.

@AndHuman @bkahn @AlliFlowers yes. I personally think he handed the state over to Heritage Project 2025 for full control top to bottom, in exchange for the $$ to go on his futile narcissistic odyssey. Maybe Casey's odyssey.

I grew up in section 8 housing, needing food stamps to get buy, & I’ve been working since I was 15. I’m grateful to have emerged from that struggle. But I’m enraged that wealth and income inequality is worse now than it was 30 years ago. And it continues to get even worse.

I’m running for Congress because I realized something many years ago. Poverty isn’t a life choice. We cannot tolerate policies that make it a life sentence. Let’s get to work. Because Justice cannot wait.

I wonder how Jimmy Carter is doing?
I miss talking about decent people.

NYT’s opinion writer Paul Krugman is declaring #climate is now a culture war issue 🤔

I worked in the U.S. Senate ~20 years ago. Covered climate as a journalist. Cofounded an NGO focused on science policy issues during elections. Am finishing a dissertation on how Congress has made decisions about #science policy for the last 1/2 century - with climate as a central theme.

This isn’t new. #ClimateChange has *always* been a culture war issue.

@Badger_AF @_ohcoco_ @TonyStark Why the hell can't California and New York throw their textbook weight around a little, instead of the damned neo-Confederacy?
