Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

NEW: Retribution is here

President Trump today called for the arrests of Illinois’ governor and Chicago’s mayor

And he has an AG who has proven pliant - as evidenced by the Comey arraignment minutes later

Retribution Is Here

The president’s threats of revenge are no longer bluster.

Unacceptable & disgusting!

SCOTUS prepares to rehear Louisiana vs. Calais, voting rights groups sound alarm, Fair Fight Action & Black Voters Matter Fund warns scrapping Section 2 of Voting Rights Act enables Republicans to redraw up to 19 House seats in their favor.

www.salon.com/2025/10/08/s...

Supreme Court ruling could let GOP add 19 House seats and "clear the path for a one-party system"

Supreme Court case could wipe out all Democratic-held seats in some deep-red Southern states.

No clue what it means. Add'l source perhaps?
BREAKING: FBI docs from '08 confirm that Epstein provided information to the FBI as part of a non-prosecution agreement with the State of Florida.
In return, federal charges were dropped as long as Epstein upheld the terms of his plea deal.

Needing multiple streams of income to stay afloat is a societal failure not a personal one. You should be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle with one job. You are not lazy.

Great to see the 20 Israeli hostages on verge of release. After that we need to talk accountability for the 20,000 plus Palestinian children slaughtered by Netanyahu. US should support prosecution of Netanyahu for the crimes against humanity he was charged with by International Criminal Court

⚠️ Rep. #ThomasMassie just exposed a hidden #EpsteinList

He says the #FBI has been sitting on files naming 20 more men tied to Epstein’s sex trafficking ring — including a high-profile U.S. official.

And #KashPatel? Massie says he lied to the American people.
