I started paying into Social Security when I was 10, have worked steadily since I was 15, and retired at 75 with reasonable savings and SS. I, like so many others, payed into and earned this modest retirement. Send Musk to Mars and Trump to jail.

Instead of being played by propaganda of CBS and 60 Minutes and capitulating mainstream media and even @maddow.msnbc.com and @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com who stepped over this monumental revelation, I highly to encourage you discover what you may have missed about #Epstein youtu.be/sky4amhdYn4?...

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

Mike Johnson, you could be having those discussions now. YOU are the one who shut down the House and went on vacation.

I don't care if these people being kidnapped are legal citizens or not. What's going on is disgusting and shouldn't be allowed PERIOD

Defund, Abolish and arrest ICE for crimes against humanity.

That's my stance, it's simple, if you don't agree, then fuck you too.

It sure sounds like the answers is, "yes, Tom Homan kept the $50,000, but it was not a bribe." ??? Poorly done, VP Vance.

The disappointment that is Fetterman.

I've been sounding the alarm about Fetterman for a long time. Prof. Ealy takes all the information and serves it up not only with prime snark, but makes it make sense.

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Ari Cohn @aricohn.com · 1d

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

Dems floated a narrow bill to fund the military, which can’t move because the House isn’t in session. Meanwhile, DoD is now going to spend funds not appropriated by Congress to ensure military paychecks continue.

POTUS now both commands and provisions the military. Unconstitutional and SO dangerous

The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News.
A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC
News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.

I walked by one recently. It was placed oddly, place high on a wall where people were going into security. Nobody was watching. It felt like a dystopian novel.

If you are not antifa, you are not anti-fascist. So that makes you a fascist and you are proud of that?
