Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson: "Hearing you say that 'everyone is smiling' in cities where troops have been rolled into feels dystopian and insane watching the response to it."

"Pam Bondi’s Senate testimony – the nonstop deflection of questions about Epstein and predictable pivoting to pre-planned insults for the politicians asking them – amounted to an inadvertent admission about Trump being named in the Epstein files and his anxiety about that being made public."

Wait, what did Bondi just admit to?

Bondi's Senate testimony amounted to an inadvertent admission about Trump being named in the Epstein files and his anxiety about it being made public.

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.

But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "This president is unstable, unhinged, a double-minded individual that quite frankly is a threat to our democracy. It's certainly not the first time that Donald Trump has called for the arresting of a Black man unjustly."
