Little man Johnson does not need ONE democratic vote to pass a standalone bill to pay our military.

These are disgusting, despicable, human beings.

CNN searched for ANTIFA in Portland, here's what they found: Bananas, Frogs, a Unicorn, dance parties, and a guy who doesn't know what any of this is and just wants ICE to leave. (Also look how they treated reporter Shimon Prokupecz.)

Speaker Johnson just declared the House will remain in recess all next week. This will mark a full month off; the chamber has not been in session since September 19.

Join ICE today cmon

Post from the New Yorker: ICE wants YOU to put on a MASK to do your JOB. But NOT like
during COVID when YOU didn't WANT to wear a MASK. This time, it's NOT for protecting OTHERS from HARM-it's for protecting your IDENTITY while YOU harm OTHERS.

If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

The Human Trafficking Case That Could Hand Government Contractors Blanket Immunity

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.
