Chris Murphy: "Republicans are boycotting negotiations to reopen the govt bc they're desperate to raise premiums on people by 75% in order to finance their tax cut for the wealthy. The other reason House isn't in town? They're about to have enough votes to mandate the release of the Epstein files."

Send the National Guard there. Gun violence is the regime’s rationale for deploying NG to Chicago and Mississippi’s per capita gun deaths are higher than Chicago’s.

United States Congressman calls for the deportation of all Muslims from the US.

All Jewish groups should join together to denounce this.

Tweet from Congressman Randy Fine: "Muslims calling for the destruction of Israel — after the peace deal.

It was never about Gaza.

Why did the UK allow these demons in?

We must ban Sharia in the United States and deport them ALL before this becomes us.

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

I absolutely love this kind of thing because the regime's case is that Portland is a burnt out war torn hellhole and instead right now it looks like a weird Japanese theme park. And that's good! It's so weird that it gets spread around everywhere and directly contradicts regime propaganda.

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

It’s really important that this story is in People magazine. It’s really important that this representation of ICE violence against a clergy person is in a very “mainstream” outlet that reaches people who may not consume political media.
