I find it amazing. MAGA won't vote to give the military their pay, but all these bastards are still getting their $174,900 per year salary. GO FIGURE.

Republicans declare themselves patriots, then turn around and block the paychecks of the men and women who defend America.

And what’s really wild, some of those same troops keep voting red while getting screwed over again and again.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

A federal judge has extended a consent decree (the Castañon Nava consent decree) that limits ICE’s ability to arrest people without warrants or probable cause.

The decree remains in force until February 2, 2026.👇

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

How it's going in Chicago

After ICE arrested US citizen and WGN Producer Debbie Brockman

Agents driving the white van cut off and hit another car, swarmed the vehicle at gunpoint, dragged out the driver-who is ALSO a citizen-and arrested her, too
