Republicans are refusing to work for the people they serve

I don’t understand why this is ignored. They serve the people- they don’t serve the president.

Aren’t you tired of being ruled?

yes, President Epstein is a failure.
I bet you’re glad you didn’t endorse him.

I seem to recall that it was the biggest 1st Amendment attack in American history when the Biden admin alerted social media companies to some content and said "hey does this violate your policies?" Will Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger and (lol) CBS News Editor in Chief Bari Weiss call this out?

Tweet from Pam Bondi:

Today following outreach from
@thejusticedept
, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target
@ICEgov
agents in Chicago.

The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

The shutdown isn’t collateral damage — it’s the strategy.
Halt funds, blame opponents, centralize control. It’s calculated.

The shutdown does not provide President Epstein with any new power, he’s simply breaking the law.

Child Molesting Rapist Trump is committing several Watergate’s a week.

But I will amend the case against crypto by adding that the crypto industry is one of the prime beneficiaries from a new regime of crony capitalism, in which an industry’s success depends on its ability and willingness to bribe the right people.

But Trump decided to start a trade war, and now that it’s happening, America will take a bigger hit than China, both to its economy and to its reputation. It’s bad when the world sees you as a bully; it’s worse when the world also sees you as weak.

Just when you thought it was impossible for American corporate media to fail any harder than it already has for a decade now, it went and called a peace deal worthy of celebration something that was neither a peace deal nor even actually a deal nor really anything that meant anything lasting at all

A very narrow hostage deal Trump had nothing to do with was made, after which Netanyahu immediately (a) attacked the West Bank, and (b) said the military campaign in Gaza would continue.

I literally have no idea why any media anywhere is covering the Trump victory lap as having any meaning at all.

Yeah, it's ludicrous to believe that Gaza will ever be a free country. Not as long as genocidal war criminal Netanyahu has something to say about it.

And to believe that the egotistical, senile 🍊💩 made it happen is even more insane. He just injected himself for the Nobel.

How gullible people are.🤦

From Michelle Schindell on Facebook:

Someone recently wrote me and said she didn’t like Biden at all, called him “a joke of a president,” but added that it didn’t consume her mind 24/7, nor did she feel the need to “teach” the world how wrong he was.
Fair statement.
My response is:
