While Amazon touts the surveillance state enabled by its Ring cameras, remember...
Amazon's U.S. tax bill dropped by 87% in 2025, mostly thanks to Trump's tax cuts.
Meanwhile, its profits jumped by 45% to nearly $90 billion — and it announced 30,000 job cuts.
Is this the world we want to live in?

BREAKING: After we sued, DHS withdrew a subpoena seeking personal information about our client who criticized DHS' treatment of a man seeking asylum.
This is a win not just for our client, but for everyone’s First Amendment right to speak out without fear of government retaliation.

Several survivors of Epstein's global child trafficking ring are now dangerously exposed because the DOJ is either spectacularly sloppy or trying to intimidate people. Or both.
Attorney General Pam Bondi comes before @democrats-judiciary.house.gov tomorrow. We'll be demanding answers.

Rep Raskin reports he reviewed the full unredacted Epstein Files & Trump's name appears MORE THAN A MILLION TIMES.
We knew of 38K times—meaning we know of only ~3% of Trump's involvement with a convicted child sexual abuser & sex trafficker.
Anyone still unwilling to impeach & remove is complicit.

If you're not feeling a little exhausted & occasionally overwhelmed, then you'e probably not paying attention. This is the regime's playbook--to overload the country w/ its onslaught of horrors, making it impossible to confront it all, aiming to exhaust us & break our resolve. They won't succeed.
