The U.S. economy lost jobs in 0 of the 48 months Joe Biden was president. It has lost jobs in 6 of the 14 months of Trump's second term.
Hundreds of students and dozens of organizations across Georgiaβs five major law schools demand ICE be uninvited to the schoolsβ Public Sector Career Fair Friday.
My god this is adorable. Can we please have this version of US?
Please campaign on this mister speaker
ICEβs only tools are violence and intimidation. They will attack you, and they will threaten you with legal consequences, but when it comes to actually imposing those consequences theyβre actually on a pathetic nationwide losing streak.

Trump Suffers Setback Unrelated To Child Rape
Last night, I was notified that another person has died in ICE custody.
Thatβs 39 people who have died on ICEβs watch during Trumpβs second term.

Trump muses about sending troops into Georgia:
βAtlanta. Atlanta. We could take care of Atlanta. I'll tell you what, you oughta get them to call me. We could take care of Atlanta so fast. They don't want to call. Don't forget -- we move people out."
βA group of nearly 400 prominent Christian leaders called President Donald Trumpβs administration βcruel and oppressiveβ and accused the government of being corrupted by an aberrant form of Christianity, in an Ash Wednesday (Feb. 18) statement.β

it really can't be said enough that this is a person who has dined with the president of the united states
UPDATE/SCOOP:
An FBI affidavit used to seize 2020 election ballots from Georgia's Fulton County omitted key findings from state investigators that undercut many questions about wrongdoing, an @npr.org analysis finds.
Read the Secretary of State's office investigative reports:

WHO is excited for Superb Owl weekend? π¦

They're enthusiastic about Bad Bunny, but they may not understand that he's a man, not a delicious small mammal.
