Any member of Congress who votes on a piece of legislation that directly or indirectly gives money to ICE at this point is a traitor as far as I'm concerned. They immediately go on the traitor list permanently if they cast that vote. I'm sorry. That's just how it works.

I'm sitting on this post for a very special day. If a political figure publicly mocks or politicizes the death of an opponent or public figure, they forfeit the ability to credibly demand universal decorum when death later touches their own side. The world will celebrate while giving zero fucks.

House republicans sure are worried that Trump only had 5 months to mount a defense for his attempted COUP.
Give me a break Trump has never not delayed (until hell froze over) every single legal action he has ever been involved in. PERIOD. FULL STOP!

The ravings of a madman. But I’m just worried, given this manic obsession with “fake” polls, whether he’s about to invade Polland. I’ll get my coat!

Farage lied when he said he was too ill to appear for the BBC interview on Sunday.
The Heartland Institute, whose party he attended instead, doesn't believe in tobacco harms, climate change and seeks the dismantling of the NHS.
Be warned. If you care

The U. S. military has historically refused to get involved in domestic politics, for good reason. I think that will be changing. I think they will have to. The reason for the change is that we’ve never been here before. For them to do otherwise would violate their oaths which they’re loath to do.

How dare President Krasnov Bonespurs blatantly lie about Britain's role in Afghanstan after hundreds of Brits died in Helmand and other provinces. UK and US troops were brothers in arms.This is the guy who handed it back to the Taliban. This is not the behaviour of a real President its hypocrisy.

I just voted no on the FY26 $838.7 billion Defense Funding bill that would continue to support billions in arms sales to Israel.
We should be providing troops better healthcare and expanding our industrial base, not sending a blank check to Netanyahu.
