I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Donald Trump: “We’re going after the worst of the worst.”

ICE arrests two men at a Chicago area bakery. Workers, not criminals. And this is why they need the National Guard?

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

Phang: So, as we can see you have a DHS official—you clearly hear him say on that body cam footage, “I am arresting the mayor. Even though he stepped out, I’m going to put him in cuffs.”

Who told him to do it? He says: the Deputy Attorney General… And who’s that? Todd Blanche.

BREAKING: Trump posted your FIRED pointing to Jerome Powell.

What an imbecile. If he did THIS rates will rise because of a lack in confidence in the independence of the FED.

Donald Trump and Mike Johnson are going to shut down the United States government so they do not have to release the Epstein files.

Shutting our government down, hurting Americans, to protect pedophiles.

How this isn’t the biggest scandal in American history is beyond me.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.
