The current degradation our country is seeing after just a short 5 months is alarming. How will we ever survive as a country another 3.5 years? I am sick to even think about it.

They chose highly populated cities with low crime. I wonder why?

A sham case that should embarrass everyone involved if they had any integrity

New York Attorney General Letitia James, a Trump foe, is indicted by Trump’s DOJ

She has been charged with one count of bank fraud by the same U.S. attorney who brought charges against James Comey.

This is becoming urgent.

Private equity is gutting hospitals for profit — when they collapse, communities lose care. That’s life and death.

PE has been taking over some of your favorite companies for years. They sell off assets, strip the business bare, and when there’s nothing left, it collapses.

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

Breaking on MSNBC:

Trump's handpicked U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan — who brought charges against James Comey — just presented evidence to a grand jury in the hopes of bringing criminal charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James.

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials.

I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.

A buffoon. A clown. A criminal. A shyster. A fascist POS. So sick of every post being about this idiot. We need more videos like this because everything he says and does is ridiculously corrupt #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue

The governors of Illinois and California, as well as a number of members of Congress, are jumping up and down, warning that our democracy is in peril.

As terrifying as that prospect is, it is heartening to see some opposition leaders get loud.

ICE AGENTS MURDER INNOCENT ILLINOISANS WITH MALICE AND MUST BE REPELLED 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Graphic Granola @graphicgranola.bsky.social · 2d

ICE. IS. ALWAYS. LYING.

Bodycam footage shows ICE agent taunting Marimar Martinez before shooting her 5x in Chicago’s Brighton Park, contradicting federal claims that she drove toward officers.

The footage blows apart DHS’s fabricated story about the shooting.

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims agent said, 'Do something b----' before shooting
