Headlines about Trump’s fundraiser should clearly note that “Trump claims” he raised a certain amount of money — not that he actually raised it.
And you should probably mention that he was just found liable in the state of New York for fraudulently inflating his assets.
Wow. The @WSJ is just gonna take trump’s word on this? There really sad and embarrassing.
(In my best Sean Spicer voice) "It was the biggest fundraiser in the history of fundraisers...").
And
Compare the Biden and Trump fundraisers:Contributors were asked to donate as much as $814,600. But donors who gave that much have now maxed out their ability to donate to Trump for the remainder of the campaign.
In comparison, Biden's New York event did not require top-level donors to max out, and included about 165,000 small-dollar donors who participated either virtually or in person. https://washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/06/trump-fundraising-dinner/

The article gives the highlights, this video (about 6 minutes long) has Ms. Vance explaining in detail.

Hankey-Pankey indeed!
So NY AG Leticia James has filed a “notice of exception” challenging the $175 million bond Trump posted to stop James from seizing his properties. Now, Judge Engoron has set a hearing for April 22 to see if the bond involves any financial . . . hankey-pankey.

Hahahahaha!
We can stop this eclipse, if Mike Pence has the courage.
Good morning.
Am I supposed to get glasses for the eclipse tomorrow or can I just stare at it like this moron?

Marge reads a book in which Jesus complained about making the Temple "a den of thieves" and then comes up with an interpretation of an earthquake centered at Bedminster that isn't "reject the false prophet who owns Bedminster out."
