It’s hilarious and revelatory that a bunch of giant MAGA/America First X accounts are actually based in Eastern Europe and Nigeria.

Four years ago today President Joe Biden signed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill into law. This was one of the most consequential bills of our lifetimes. Trump has been working to dismantle that work since entering office. He is always working against the people.

The White House is a 24/7 pay-to-play enterprise. The latest? Trump is pardoning Changpeng Zhao, who built a company that allowed terrorists and sex predators to launder money. Why? Because Zhao made a huge investment in Trump's corrupt crypto business. Pay-to-play.
