It's cool when a member of Congress says there's no point in standing up to the bully who is literally taking our tax money.
We do not have a federal government.

ICE has murdered two of our neighbors. Three weeks ago they shot another guy, then assaulted a house and set off munitions in the street, including a flashbang used on a baby. They keep brutalizing us. And yet we're supposed to think another mass arrest is what will break our self control? Shut up.

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

Massie: "I vote with the president 91% of the time. The 9% of the time my party is taking for pedophiles, bankrupting this country, or starting another war, I don't vote with them. And they want 100% compliance. That's why they're trying to take me out."

It’s insane that the Trump admin wants to double the already massive US military budget in just 2 years when we are not at war. Trump’s DOD budgets are a cesspool of corruption and grift for the military industrial complex, scammers and grifters, including Donald Trump, Jr.

Everyone should call their local election officials and ask them what they're doing to prepare. Our governors should deploy the Guard to protect polling places from voting machine and ballot seizures.
Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) to ABC about Trump: "I think he intends to try to subvert the elections. He will do everything he can to suppress the vote. If he loses the vote -- I think the Republicans now expect they will get a drubbing in the midterms -- he will take action to overturn the result"

Thinking that writing a book is a “race” is also missing the point.
If you don’t understand that reading is a fundamental way to connect with another human’s wonderful, unique imagination, I consider you functionally illiterate. You are missing the entire point.

Kash Patel stopped FBI agents from investigating Renee Good’s killing because the findings might’ve contradicted their narrative that she was a “domestic terrorist.”
We cannot trust a word coming out of this Admin.
DHS must allow Minnesotan authorities to investigate, NOW.
