If seeing the video of a pastor being shot in the head with a pepperball and pepper-sprayed in the face up close doesn't change this debate just a little, I don't know what will...Of course it's not on Fox or NewsMax...

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Colombia’s President says that the last boat that was bombed by the U.S. was carrying Colombians, not Venezuelans.

“Signs show that the last boat bombed was Colombian, with Colombian citizens inside. I hope their families come forward and file a complaint.”

So, Tom Homan can straight accept a bag of $50K in cash from the FBI in a sting operation, have the investigation dismissed by this corrupt Justice Department, but all of Trump's critics somehow face indictments?

Cool, cool. Cool.

A desperate, weak Administration overplaying its hand.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum:

"Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

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.

One big reason why all these assholes are pushing the autism button so hard is:

For-profit institutionalization gives them guaranteed and *monetized* access to children they can sexually abuse, and all these freaks are Epstein associates

Ten more deportees were sent to Eswatini under Trump’s secret deal, allowing the U.S. to send foreign nationals to third countries with no ties to them. The group, mostly from Vietnam, Cambodia, and the Philippines, was flown out without due process or a chance to appeal, lawyers say.
