Members of the Unpresidented Brass Band were bull rushed & brutalized in the middle of playing "Ghostbusters." One was sent to the hospital and another tackled, arrested, and taken across state lines where she is still being detained.

ICE is randomly targeting peaceful protesters because the point is to terrorize the public into accepting martial law.

Indiscriminate attacks send the message that there’s nothing you can do to stay safe.

The regime wants you to cower at home and cede the streets of your city to their control.

ICE agents interfered with—and even threatened to “shoot and arrest”—emergency personnel rescuing an injured protester last week in Portland.

The agent “pointed his finger at me in a threatening manner,” the driver recalled, “and began viciously yelling in my face.

An extraordinary new policy from the Defense Department that equates basic reporting methods to criminal activity has prompted a revolt among Pentagon journalists that could leave the nation's largest agency and the world's largest military without a press corps.

'Without precedent': Virtually all news outlets reject restrictive Pentagon press policy

The policy would force news organizations to refrain from publishing material not approved by the military. Media lawyers say it violates the 1st Amendment.

You can blame a lot of what's happening today on Alex Jones

Long before Sandy Hook, he peddled the vile conspiracy theory that "9/11 was an inside job"

Still, in 2016 Trump appeared on his show and praised his "amazing reputation"

Now those peddling conspiracy theories are running the government

Kids at school talked this way. My uncles talked this way. My grandfather talked this way. Old men at work talked this way. Young men at work talk this way.

This is what a significant portion of our country has been in my lifetime.

This is not news. This is just the worst part of "real Americans"

Trump gives Argentina $20 billion American dollars while our farmers need bailouts because of TRUMP'S OWN POLICIES.

His new slogan?
Argentina First! (or let's be real: Trump First). #AmericaLast

Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.
