it will always baffle me how democrats will cede all narratives to the far right on topics like immigration, whenever the right gets in office public opinion slides against them on this issue and you’ll see your average american protesting against ICE. dems need to stop ceding ground

ICE drag girl out of car & body slam her to ground—then pin her face down & kneel on her neck.

"I'm 15!" she cries out. "I'm not resisting!"

Agents have now asked multiple area housing associations to unlock main doors—so they can go door to door.

Folks, if ICE shot a pastor in the head with a pepper ball on camera, what do you think they do to people behind closed doors?

Republicans won’t come back to work because we can now force a vote on releasing the Epstein Files.

Meanwhile, folks' insurance is skyrocketing because they refuse to extend healthcare tax credits.

They’re putting Pedophiles before the American People.

Maybe Johnson can give us the simple truth on why he won’t swear in the 218th signature on the Epstein discharge petition

Trump: "I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut ... I can’t believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity."

I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut, and whether or not those cuts will be temporary or permanent. I can’t believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity. They are not stupid people, so maybe this is their way of wanting to, quietly and quickly, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

To be clear, saying you're going to "avoid politics" is an INCREDIBLY political statement, especially in an age of fascism.

Spent the last decade reading conservative blogs use the word "Orwellian" more than they used the word "the" and now they're literally just saying "War is Peace" out loud in front of everybody.

Hegseth: "As history teaches us, the only people who actually deserve peace and those who are willing to wage war to defend it. That's why pacifism is so naive and dangerous."
