There are concentration camps in the USA. People are being disappeared. One facility has 3,500 people, most of them children.
Now, what are we going to do about it?!

One day, somebody’s gonna have to explain to me why some people have a Jesus-like affection for an 80 year-old convicted felon who hung out with child abusers.

That's not the way it works. Again, it's a political move with midterms not based on any sort of financial or legal reality.

Although the release of the Epstein files remains a major story on most media outlets Fox News has largely ignored it. This is a montage of the few times it was mentioned last week - Ghislaine Maxwell pleaded the fifth, Bill and Hillary Clinton and jokes about penicillin.

Casting a vote in a polling station is a constitutionally protected right.
Murdering people in cold blood in the street is not.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, Mr. Emmer.

Emmer: "Another reform they claim they want is they want ICE agents to identify themselves, to show identification. But they don't want identification for voters in elections. I mean, this stuff is just intellectually inconsistent."

ICE agents shouldn't wear masks. We need to know who is attacking and committing crimes. Masks undermine accountability, invite abuse, and help place perpetrators above the law.

This. Precisely this. Serious people don’t threaten to vote third party, because it’s a tantrum.
I don’t like Newsom at all, I think he’s an amoral opportunist. But JD Vance is quite literally a man who gets his ideas from neo-Nazis. He’s a white supremacist fascist. It’s an easy, easy choice!

Threatening not to vote just shouldn’t be as much a thing as it is in progressive spaces instead of being the fucking constant monotonous feature that it is and more then anything else if you’re doing that over Newson you’re just telling me and everyone else that what’s happening now is nbd to you.
The reason people are concerned about lefties saying “I won’t vote for a moderate Dem” isn’t because they want Newsom. It’s because lefties keep not voting for moderate Dems!
I think all the scolding about it being years til the primary would hit a little harder if WE DIDN’T JUST GO THROUGH THIS

Rep. Ted Lieu publicly stated that the “Epstein files” contain “highly disturbing allegations” including allegations of Donald Trump “raping children” and “threatening to kill children.” He said this at a Capitol Hill press briefing on Feb. 3, 2026, urging the press to “go look” at the allegations.
