Enjoy: fly fishing, the awesome photographs of nature and animals posted by the talent here, satire (political or not), food/foodies. Believe in: science, education, healthcare. Nope: MAGA, felons holding office, billionaires running our country.

Here’s the deal, Mike Johnson, you worked 9 days since July, make $200K, and get best free healthcare we pay for, while shutting down ours.

Want it fair? Start with your paychecks. No work, no pay and no damn free healthcare for any of you. Let Congress feel the pain they dump on the rest of us.

Wow! I’m so happy. I fly out of there soon and am a terrible flyer. I have been having anxiety about the possibility of seeing and hearing that monster!

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

⚠️ Warning: these back-to-back scenes are hard to watch unless you’ve got a depraved heart.

These are thugs, not officers with any real training. We keep seeing it again and again, and at this point, it’s clearly the op.

Trump claims ICE’s reign of terror in Chicago is targeting the “worst of the worst.”

But out of the 1,000 undocumented immigrants that have swept up, the agency has only cited 10 men with a criminal background.

Don’t believe his lies for a second.

Trump says migrants drive violent crime in Illinois. But ICE can’t find many violent criminals.

Masked ICE agents and other federal forces showed up in Chicago to go after gangsters. Instead, they keep catching people who are just living their lives.

He’s correct. Groceries are down-as in the amount of groceries I can afford is down. Worst leader ever!

Farmers are getting bailouts. I’m more worried about people not being able to afford their insurance! Or groceries! This Argentina bs is sick on so many levels.

“What’s the benefit for 🇺🇸 in sending $20 BILLION to Argentina?”🤔

Trump says he just really likes their philosophy and will only send the $20 Billion if his pal Milei wins.

Imagine not being able to see this blatant corruption for what it is. (While our farmers struggle)
