This has nothing to do with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and everything to do with the Convicted Felon Donald Trump regime being embarrassed that they made a mistake trying to deport him in the first place.

“Christian conservatives” (they’re neither) Republicans are getting exactly what they want.

Lower wages, less flexibility, and limited reproductive choice—all these push women back into financial insecurity, unpaid home work and out of the higher corporate and management jobs. #VoteLikeWitches!

Women were closing the pay gap with men. That’s now changing.

The gender wage gap is growing. RTO is one reason, new study suggests, Researchers found that women were about three times more likely than men to leave a job for more flexible working conditions.

Shortly after Sinaloa Drug Cartel heads entered plea deals in July/August, forfeited $80M, had family placed in protective custody…Trump bombs 1st of several boats in Caribbean. No confirmation who was killed, if drugs were onboard. Is Trump’s “intel” coming from convicted Sinaloa Cartel members?

Heads-up. Share this everywhere. ICE has created a fake "Stop Ice" app. They're trying to ensnare people to enter their information, so they can go after them.

Pope Leo says Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions.

"Someone who says I'm against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty...or agrees with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the US,
is not really pro-life."

Ever ponder why the felon always screams that opposition protesters are fake & are being paid?
Here's why: everything is transactional for him. If he's not profiting,he's not doing it.
So he can't fathom that
protestors are unpaid volunteers.
More proof of his inhumanity

Trump told AG Pam Bondi to prosecute Letitia James-calling her “guilty as hell”

When the US Attorney wouldn’t do it, he replaced that lawyer with his personal attorney

And despite the fact that career prosecutors refused go forward

The DOJ got an indictment anyway

No, Speaker Johnson: The No Kings Rally on October 18 is not a “hate America” rally. Quite the contrary. It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country.

Tonight’s #FridayLimericks watch the GOP’s ongoing assault on Americans’ health.
We have shutdown stakes coming more clear:
Whose insurance will soon disappear?
Repubs want to shift wealth,
At expense of our health,
To the donors their ilk hold most dear.
