So crazy that we have an Attorney General who can't answer any question without slowly reading word for word from a binder.

So she can't even lie creatively and naturally?

This is bullshit. Presidential E.O. can not create new law nor override existing law.

Jeffries: In that Oval Office meeting, which lasted over an hour, the amount of time spent talking about health insurance for undocumented immigrants was less than 10 seconds. You know why? Because they know it’s a lie. They didn’t even bother to bring it up—because the cameras weren’t rolling.

J: I didn't see it

If you have not called your Dem Senator(s) yet and told them to stand strong on the fed budget -- please do so immediately: (202) 224-3121.

If you are represented by John Fetterman, call his office and say you are sending money and gearing up to work for anyone who will run against him in 2028.

Ronald Reagan–appointed U.S. District Judge William Young:

“ICE goes masked for a single reason — to terrorize Americans into quiescence… To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed, masked secret police.”
