My dude, they literally never came for the billionaires. Elon Musk Wealth 2012: $2 billion 2025: $737 billion Jeff Bezos Wealth 2012: $18 billion 2025: $255 billion Mark Zuckerberg Wealth 2012: $18 billion 2025: $234 billion Federal Tipped Minimum Wage 1991: $2.13 2025: $2.13
First, they came for the billionaires... It's time to take a bold stand in defense of America's oft-maligned billionaire class. https://t.co/QhStxRtf1y

Another day, another criminal pardoned by Trump. This time it’s Philip Esformes, the MN day care fraudster who operated a nursing home scheme to defraud Medicare of $1.2B, getting doctors to bill for unnecessary services re-arrested for domestic violence.

Philip Esformes is among several people granted clemency by then-President Donald Trump who have since been charged with new crimes.

Trump: "We have a fool at the Federal Reserve. I mean, Biden reappointed him. It's too bad. You would have thought he wouldn't have done that." (Jerome Powell was appointed by Trump)

This is not Trump being stupid, tho Trump is a very stupid person. This is not Trump being played, tho Trump is one of the most easily manipulated people who’s ever lived. No, the truth is scarier. This is Trump working for & siding with Putin. This is Trump, the Russian asset.
Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds a little strange but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices."

North Carolina voted for Trump in 2024. North Carolina voted for Trump in 2020. North Carolina voted for Trump in 2016. They bowed to their tan-sprayed God for 12 years and their God has rejected them.
So Trump’s FEMA is refusing to pay out buyouts for mortgages on homes in North Carolina that are no longer livable after the storms last year. Many of them are going to have to foreclose. This shit is why people hate the government.

As Zelensky visits the White House and gets bullied again, remember this clip of Marco Rubio explaining the U.S. promised to defend Ukraine FOREVER if they gave up their nukes when the USSR fell. That’s why Lil Marco hides. He hoped we wouldn’t find it. Don’t share it right now.

This looks REALLY AWFUL for the Dept of Justice and @AGPamBondi and @DAGToddBlanche I AM SURE IT'S JUST A COINCIDENCE THIS DUMP OF 1 MILLION DOCUMENTS HAPPENED ON CHRISTMAS EVE!
The US Attorney for the Southern District of New York and the FBI have informed the Department of Justice that they have uncovered over a million more documents potentially related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. The DOJ has received these documents from SDNY and the FBI to review

Remember when Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump’s lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, wrote an op-ed trying to justify having sex with kids? Seems relevant now.

The Kansas City Chiefs are relocating from Missouri to Kansas and getting a new $3 billion stadium. 60 percent of it will be publicly funded — despite the owners boasting a nearly $25 billion net worth. This isn't the first stadium scam we've seen recently...

This is not true. I have confirmation from a Jane Doe Epstein survivor that her name was not redacted in publicly released files. The DOJ redacted the names of wealthy and powerful people but failed to redact the name of a survivor:
WELKER: Why didn't the DOJ meet the Friday deadline to release all the Epstein files? BLANCHE: It's very simple and very clear. The statute also requires us to protect victims.

JD Vance says fewer undocumented immigrants means Americans can finally afford homes. So let me get this straight: They supposedly don’t work and live on welfare, but they’re also somehow buying up all the houses? Pick a lie.

EXACTLY AS I SAID IT WOULD HAPPEN. A REMINDER THAT WHEN IT MATTERED MOST EIGHT DEMOCRATS SOLD OUT AMERICA AND VOTED FOR TRUMP. THIS IS WHY WE ARE HERE. IT IS A SHOCKING BETRAYAL.
🚨NEW: Speaker Johnson says there will not be a vote to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies. Insurance premiums are now guaranteed to increase by an average of $1,016 - over 110 percent - next year. RETWEET to let America know the GOP is increasing health care costs!
