Undocumented immigrants paid over $100 billion in taxes in 2022.

It will cost $300 billion to deport them all.

This is how Trump bankrupted 4 casinos.

It would be funny if it didn't demonstrate such shocking levels of both malice and incompetence.

Currently on a flight to Japan watching a Pentagon Assistant Press Secretary (Riley Podleski) work on a document in the open on her laptop. She spent the last hour copy and pasting headlines from articles critical of the Administration’s hostility toward the 1st amendment.

Exactly. Safe for now. That is why those of us not under threat have to advocate for those who are. It will be us next- the ones who question those in authority

A precondition for Republics to transition to autocracies is the politicization of the military. It is why the political & military leaders of the country have been so vigilant to keep partisanship away from it. But this admin is dismantling that concept. www.cnn.com/2025/10/15/p...

When the next generation of your party is more repugnant than the current generation, it’s proof positive your ideologies are deeply toxic and un-American.

The DHS film crew is making slick videos to convince the American people that ICE agents are ripping the
"worst of the worst" off our streets.
But they're crafting and creating a story that is divorced from the reality on the ground. - Jacob Soboroff, MSNBC

In case you weren’t hip to it:

TURNING POINTS USA IS A RACIST HATE GROUP!

It always was.

There is literally no difference between praising Charlie Kirk and praising David Duke.

Same same.

It's been 22 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in. At what point will political reporters start calling this a constitutional crisis?

“The problem is that Americans thought it was ok to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of The United States and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things.

Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of The United States and if we don’t wake up we may not have a United States.”

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

Dear Lisa Murkowski,
You turned a blind eye to this regime. What is happening to your state is a tragedy. You need to shoulder the responsibility of inaction by the federal government with help for your state. There is no FEMA or anyone else coming to your aid. Is this making America great?

I am what you would call a “WASP” including the blue eyes. I am well educated and consider myself to be fortunate and privileged in this life. In theory, I have nothing to fear from these people, but they scare the hell out of me! I stand with the marginalized in our society as my morals dictate.
