In Northfield, Minnesota, masked ICE GOONS violently abducted a father. The Goons smashed a car window, beat and dragged the man at gunpoint, while his teenage son filmed the incident and begged them to stop. The father has not been seen since. (November 11, 2025)

Your regular reminder that Pam Bondi only has this job because she takes bribes.

She doesn’t belong at the DOJ.
She belongs in prison.
In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

I thought Congress had to oh nevermind.
Looks like we’re going to war with Venezuela to distract from the Epstein files.

Blanche didn’t ask Maxwell a single question about any of these emails. Then he moved her to Club Fed where she is served individual meals and has a puppy and numerous other special privileges while she prepares her clemency petition. WHY?

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

You can add the armed raid at a Day Care to the list. No warrants, and armed...

I guess they were afraid of the toddlers because it was lunchtime and they were serving sandwiches?

Child care worker detained by ICE inside a Chicago day care as children watched
Raids inside day cares had been off limits until this year, when, on his first day in office, President Donald Trump removed that protection.

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

The reason SNAP costs "exploded" starting in 2021 was because USDA implemented a change to the calculation of how much families should spend on food each month. This change was mandated by Congress in the farm bill that passed... in 2018, when Trump was president.

I think dystopian fiction has done a great disservice to America because everyone thinks a constitutional crisis involved tank parades, grey skies and giant banners whereas it really is just other branches of government standing by as a president declares himself dictator.

On top of refusing to reopen the government while withholding SNAP funding, this regime has cancelled USDA's annual hunger report.

They can try to erase the data that proves their cruelty, but they can’t erase the pain of MILLIONS of hungry Americans.

The bigotry starts close to home. We only had school board elections today but one of the candidates was vocally against trans girls in sports. So we did our duty while we still have the right. #plymouth #minnesota

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.
