FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried had been sentenced to 25 years in prison for fraud. Amazing how quickly they can convict and sentence a 32-year-old crypto billionaire but not a 77-year-old real estate “billionaire” who has been committing fraud for decades.

After losing his bid to disqualify Fulton County DA Fani Willis, Trump sends his lawyers back to court today to try to get the case dismissed on the grounds that coercing Georgia officials to find illegal votes for him was actually protected First Amendment speech.

So, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a 70-year-old man who has never held public office, picked Nicole Shanahan, a 38-year-old tech lawyer who has never held office, as his running mate for the offices of president and vice president of the United States of America?

Told that a civilian (Ashli Babbitt) had been shot outside the House chamber during the January 6 insurrection, Trump appeared unconcerned, according to his valet. He was more focused on getting Mike Pence to stop the certification of the election.

Biden is trouncing Trump in fundraising. Biden has raised $15 million more than Trump and has nearly $40 million more cash on hand than Trump ($71 million versus $33.3 million).

What's in the new $1.2 trillion spending bill? Republicans cut off aid to UNRWA, the UN agency that provides assistance to Palestinians. Democrats secured funding increases for federal child care and education programs, cancer and Alzheimer’s research.

Trump has declared bankruptcy six times in the past, and now he is so broke that he may have to file bankruptcy again. A desperate presidential candidate in half a billion dollars of debt is a serious national security risk.

Trump tells the US Supreme Court that he has "absolute immunity" from prosecution for his crimes. This dude is out of control. He aims to carve out a special exception to the Constitution just for him. Even Richard Nixon knew he could be prosecuted.

Mark Robinson calls the Black Panther movie "trash" made by a "satanic marxist," says Halle Berry and Mariah Carey wear "whore dresses," and calls Michelle Obama a man. But he's exactly the type of anti-Black Black person that Republicans love.

The University of Florida has fired all positions associated with diversity, equity and inclusion at the school. The move comes almost a year after Republican Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill banning state colleges from spending money on DEI.

Today’s Supreme Court decision scheduling an April 22 week hearing for Trump’s appeal to a unanimous DC Circuit ruling denying immunity is an outrageous delay tactic. It only took 4 days for SCOTUS to decide Bush v. Gore. Justice delayed is justice denied.

The Republican Party has become a welfare state to support a fake billionaire named Donald Trump. Every donation will eventually go directly to Trump's EBT card.

Alabama’s Supreme Court rules that frozen embryos are children in a case where someone in a fertility clinic dropped a container and can now be held liable for wrongful death.

A frozen embryo now has more rights in Alabama than a living Black person.

Many Republicans in power are no longer trying to hide their racism. They’re fully embracing it to appeal to Trump’s political coalition, which is 85 percent white in a country that is 59 percent white and becoming less so every day.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plans to remove 1.4 million Palestinians from the southern Gaza town of Rafah ahead of an expected Israeli ground invasion. Even President Biden now says Israel’s conduct in the war is “over the top.”
