BASH: Are you gonna look into the way ICE is conducting itself?

JIM JORDAN: We're going to look into the whole situation where you have these mayors--

BASH: So you'll only look into that side and not federal law enforcement?

JORDAN: Wuh wuh wuh we'll look into all this

John Oliver sounded the alarm this week on how secret donations to presidential libraries provide cover for bribery. We couldn’t agree more.

It’s time to close the library loophole — and you can help.

Read this story and much more in our secrecy newsletter, The Classifieds.

The fact that top Republicans are already fearmongering about, lying about, the No Kings rallies this Saturday, across the US, tells you how worried they are about public pressure and protest against their reactionary, autocratic, anti-American agenda.

Excellent, but it appears there is way, way too much muscle definition in the legs.

Police officers who publicly declare that they’ll quit if a mayoral candidate they dislike wins the election are (1) usually bluffing—sure buddy, toss away that paycheck and pension—and (2) exactly the sort of cops cities would be better off without, ones who don’t see themselves as public servants.

It’s like the government has moved on since the Judges home was Torched‼️
Where is an update? INVESTIGATION? Why isn’t the media talking about this?
I’m sure If a leftist was the arsonist it would be 24/7 Media Coverage‼️

If you're not near Canon City, CO ~ go to indivisible.org and find an #NoKings Day event near you, on Oct 18th.

There's also useful tips to help you stay safe. Please don't let fear keep you away. Change will only come when attendance is so huge that we can't be ignored. Help #ProtectOurDemocracy

It's time again as a notable Italian-American to note Christopher Columbus was an absolute piece of shit human who didn't land anywhere near this actual country so why the fuck should he stop the mail for the whole day

Anyway, Happy Indigenous People's Day, y'all

Buried inside the Big Beautiful Bill is a time bomb...one that detonates the balance of power. You weren’t supposed to read this clause. That’s why I did.

A single section hidden deep in the bill quietly neuters the courts. It’s that serious.🔥👇

My question is, will it end in tragedy as usual? Star Wars has had romance in all three iterations of The Skywalker Saga.
