Remember: Trump asked oil execs at Mar-a-Lago for $1 billion for his campaign.

In return, Trump pledged to reverse environmental protections and cut their taxes.

The deal would net Big Oil $110 billion in tax breaks — 11,000% more than a $1 billion donation.

Utter corruption.

ChatGPT is awesome for drafting blog posts and newsletters. First, I give it all my bullet points and ask it for a draft. Then, I hate what it wrote _so much_ that I get off my ass and write the thing myself, like I should have done in the first place.

I decided to take up aerial straps this summer and now my wrists are completely encircled by bruises and I can't feel my right thumb. I have been told that this is normal.

Biden Spotted Doing Something Trump is Unable to Do… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22xEKKF85xA&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

My late husband was career government, a very, very low-level clerk. There were probably a couple of thousand people scattered across the country performing the precise function that he did. Zero policymaking influence. But for over 25 years until he retired *neither one of us* ever displayed as much as a campaign bumper sticker. When a grateful citizen tried to give us a Thanksgiving turkey, my husband turned it down.

I can't even with these two "justices" and their spouses and their island vacations and those damn flags.

There is no question about it: Alito, Thomas, Roberts, and the three Trump Supreme Court appointees are all Republican partisan hacks.

Pass term limits. Expand the court. Enact an enforceable code of ethics.

Dems must do this the moment they gain back control of Congress.

Keep on giving that money to Donald Trump.

It’s all going to Trump’s lawyers, E. Jean Carroll, and the great state of New York.

It shouldn't be harder for someone who's served time and expressed remorse for a single crime to get a fast food job than it is for a remorseless criminal convicted of 34 felonies to ascend to the highest office in the land.

Dear Senate Judiciary Committee:

Stop sending letters to the Supreme Court — and start sending subpoenas.

This could be humorous… but it’s actually tragic.

The last time I had a new employer, the USSR was still a thing.

34 felony convictions
54 pending criminal charges
2 impeachments
2 popular vote losses
$88M owed to E Jean Carroll
$450M owed for civil fraud
$8T added to nat'l debt
2.9M net loss of jobs

Is this what Trump meant when he promised "numbers like we've never seen"?
