this reminds me of that old riddle:

If someone is arrested for robbing the bank, and you're reporting on it, all the witnesses say he did it. Do you write the story to be impartial?

While Kari Lake spent her April supporting a draconian near total abortion ban, Ruben Gallego was connecting with voters across the state vowing to protect abortion rights.
That’s the difference in this election. #BlueWaveRising

Thank goodness for the sanity of the grand jury, but I think that prosecutor needs to face ethical charges.
What a waste of government resources.

Republicans on the House Financial Services Committee are trying to block the Biden Admin's new $8 cap on credit card late fees, which will save Americans $10B/year.
Oh BTW these same Republicans have taken nearly $8M from credit card industry groups...

Teachers should also be paid a fair share, Race to the Top/NCLB be repealed and abolished, and the government pays for ALL supplies, so teachers don't have to go out of pocket/depend on parents to buy from "an approved list."

I’m not a Christian, but I agree 100%.
So many Americans like to claim the US is a “Christian nation,” but goddamn if they don’t do everything possible to NOT be that way.

The average K-12 public school lunch debt is about $22,600.
To Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis' point, the cost of that Jesus ad could pay off the lunch debt of 310 schools.
As Christians, we need to walk the walk. This ad isn't walking.

Will Melania use Stormy's testimony to get more money...in a settlement? I'm not a fan of hers, but these details are incredible.
12:48 PM - May 07, 2024
The starkest part of Stormy Daniel's story is that this was clearly a rape scheme that Trump has played out many times before. Send a woman to his en suite when she asks for a bathroom and then rape her when she comes out.
RA @intheweedsOh my god. I assumed Stormy Daniels had sex with Trump consensually, but this...doesn't quite feel like that. 😬12:04 PM - May 07, 2024
12:59 PM - May 07, 2024
The whole Stormy Daniels/tfg encounter has been fodder for jokes thus far, but from what I'm reading today in loosely following the trial, it's really not funny at all. It sounds an awful lot to me like a sadistic rape scenario. tfg is a monster.
01:25 PM - May 07, 2024
There is nothing salacious about Stormy's testimony. She's not being lewd. She's describing a sex encounter. Journalists acting like they're not adults who have had sex and children. 😏#Puritans

This makes me so upset. Stormy (and E Jean Carroll) have been strong enough to fight back. But there are dozens more victims we know of, and must be several dozen we do not know of, who are just wrecked by their encounter in a bedroom somewhere with Trump

They have the infrastructure as well as seed money that most Americans, this one included, does not have. If anyone of the 99% had the subsidies, tax shelters and cronyism the billionaires had we would all be rich. Socialism for the rich dominates.
