“That facility is, like, terrible, horrible. There’s a lot of people in there. A lot. Each room has like 45 capacity. And they’re putting like 60 people in each room. The restroom is a mess. Dirty. People are sleeping on the floor, people are sleeping in the restroom.”
How Trump's ICE Is Locking Up Longtime Texans with Paths to Legal Status
The case of one Houston man, nearly deported to India after a quarter-century here, shows what happens when prosecutorial discretion is abandoned.

Don't ever let them claim to be against taxes. The Republicans love taxes on the little people.

"The tariffs are the largest U.S. tax increase since 1993, according to the Tax Foundation analysis."

Americans, not other countries, paid Trump's tariffs in 2025
President Donald Trump has repeatedly said foreigners would pay for his import tariffs. A new report says Americans picked up most of the tab.

“Trump is not a hypothetical. . . He is a uniquely authoritarian, vindictive, racist, corrupt and lawless demagogue — of which there isn’t remotely an analog on the other side of the aisle.”

Happy Presidents’ Day to the last real president we had. Americans now see he delivered a strong economy, low unemployment, major infrastructure investment, the CHIPS Act, & the 1st Black woman on the SC. He was treated shamefully—his only “crime” was aging. I hope we learn from how good we had it.

Alexei Navalny loved Russia and opposed Putin. Patriotism and dissent are not contradictions. Loving your country doesn’t mean staying silent about its leaders. No one should be murdered for speaking out.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez talks about how she was treated in her first term by Democrats. It is sad to hear this. It’s also infuriating that some people have not learned their lessons yet.

Here's a story that flew under the radar. Of course it happened during the Convicted Felon Donald Trump regime.

Did I just hear that Rubio skipped his meeting with Zelenskyy and our allies because he "didn't have time" and then flew to Hungary to meet with Orban?
