Trump is DOUBLING the amount of the Argentina bailout, to $40 billion. Nothing's been done to lower your cost of living right here, in America. America last.

Hey Mike Johnson – the more you facilitate a cover-up and do everything in your power to prevent the release of the Epstein files – the more your constituents, the American public, and the whole world are going to believe you are guilty of the exact same types of crimes as Jeffrey Epstein.

It's been 22 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in. At what point will political reporters start calling this a constitutional crisis?

He protects pedophiles. Why wouldn’t he protect a scumbag who beats on women and stalks them?

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

Here’s the thing. We still have the power (probably) to say that this image must not be what America is. We still have the power to say “fuck no, we refuse to allow this to be what the streets of America look like.” Attend a “No Kings” rally this Saturday. And then vote in 2026.

She’s not guilty, she already has proved the charges are baseless. She bought the home for her grand niece and kids. She has not collected one dime from them and has stayed when she came to visited. And yes, the niece has stated this before

EXCLUSIVE: Capitol Police are investigating a swastika found in GOP Rep. Dave Taylor’s office.

“The content of that image does not reflect the values or standards of this office, my staff, or myself, and I condemn it in the strongest terms," Taylor said in a statement.

Last month, a Reagan-appointed judge answered the question of whether noncitizens have First Amendment rights with: "“unequivocally ‘yes, they do.’”

Lawyers for @KnightColumbia.org, who won that ruling, say that principle applies to visa revocations over Charlie Kirk-related rhetoric.

“These kinds of visa revocations are censorship, plain and simple. Mere “mockery” can’t be grounds for adverse government action—whether revocation of broadcast licenses or revocation of visas. While the government can revoke visas for many reasons, the First Amendment forbids it from doing so based on viewpoint.”

Piece of advice- if you want to use an active discourse on the political and social aspects of my country- don’t start off by calling me a derogatory slang word from your country.

If you want something positive, I'd say that the current DHS strategy of using excessive force has been extremely counterproductive. Rather than actually detaining people, they're now spending significant time and resources dealing with hostile crowds wherever they go.
