Twice-impeached disgrace to humanity Donald Trump still walks among us. He still piddles about his Mar-a-Lago resort, handcuff-free, and hosts people. The hosting of people likely allows him to charge his fundraiser-driven MAGA campaign account, thus funneling the profits to himself. Maybe he doesn’t do that. But he probably does.
On Wednesday, reports came out that the monster who runs “Libs of Tik Tok,” Chaya Raichik, and Seth Dillon, who owns the Babylon Bee (a sort of pathetic conservative analogue for The Onion), got their chance to hang with Trump at his Florida resort. Raichik iss something of an uber-homophobe who puts the lives of LGBTQ+ adults and children in jeopardy with her doxxing and misrepresentation of queer people as “groomers.” Dillon’s Babylon Bee is also a right-wing purveyor of similar misinformation, with the added bonus of saying it’s a satire site while being deeply unfunny.
The plan, according to reports, is for the Donald to “wine-and-dine” various “influencers” in the hopes of creating good social media buzz for his 2024 presidential campaign. It also may be the beginnings of Trump’s inevitable return to Twitter in June—when his exclusivity agreement with the failing TruthSocial platform expires.

Election season is already here, and it's already off to an amazing start with Democrats' huge flip of a critical seat in the Virginia state Senate, which kicks off this episode of The Downballot. Co-hosts David Nir and David Beard dissect what Aaron Rouse's victory means for November (abortion is still issue #1!) when every seat in the legislature will be on the ballot. They also discuss big goings-on in two U.S. Senate races: California, where Rep. Katie Porter just became the first Democrat to kick off a bid despite Sen. Dianne Feinstein's lack of a decision about her own future, and Michigan, which just saw veteran Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow announce her retirement.
