SEN. @gallego.senate.gov on the terrible Milei rock concert: “Millions of Americans are about to lose their health care and have their insurance premiums double, but Trump & Republicans are giving this idiot $20 BILLION. Good job. Way to make America First, guys.”

On 9/11, 15 of 19 out of 19 terrorists on the planes were Saudis. Trump sold $143 billion dollars worth of WEAPONS to them, a nation that stones women who have been raped & cuts the balls off gay men.

What could possibly go wrong?

Who cares? As long as the rich get richer, right?

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

American tax dollars are paying for this instead of education, health care, roads....

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

The same people demanding you present a photo ID to vote are perfectly fine with letting you be arrested, handcuffed & thrown into a van by armed men wearing plain clothes, face masks & presenting no identification of any sort.

2000 years ago some man in the desert noticed that a sharp rock could cut off the top of a cock. Then they didn't get sand in it. Since then it's a weird fad IMHO. Circumcised men need hand lotion to whack off. Have an uncut dick? No need for lotion. Just an observation by a woman.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Kamala's fault. Why? Amerikkkan logic. She is a woman and worse a black woman!

In Trump's Amerikkka competent women, disabled, veterans, gay, POC, minorities, & anyone "non standard" sexually?

"Those DEI people" should work as min-wage slaves, be deported, trafficked, incarcerated, or die.

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

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

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?
