I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News.

Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios.

It's not, like, some minor paperwork mistake. If this is correct, ICE rammed a woman's car, threatened her derisively, shot her, and then wrote up a report claiming she drove at them.

Someone prosecute someone for perjury someday please.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

During a live CNN interview, Stephen Miller claimed Trump has 'plenary authority.' This is absolute power, like a dictator.

What is plenary authority? Understanding the term Stephen Miller used while talking about Trump

Stephen Miller is under fire for saying Donald Trump has "plenary authority" while discussing the deployment of National Guard troops to Oregon.

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.

There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.

Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

Tommy Tuberville on the 2020 census: "The Democrats were letting illegals come in for a different count. They obviously had a census going that was all rigged. The 2020 election basically was rigged."

(Believe it or not, Donald Trump was president in 2020.)

"Surely the President that refused to give up power in 2020, turbocharged ICE with sacks of cash, and recently conducted an Air Assault operation on a Chicago apartment complex will allow Dems to take control of Congress come January"

There are some very strange things going on at the Library of Congress. I’m doing searches for news articles from the Civil Rights Era. Political cartoons. That sort of thing. They used to be easily found.

That stuff is VERY hard to find now. Things are missing, people.

Trump just spoke about Ghislane Maxwell on camera only weeks ago. Is he lying? Or does he really not remember an interview question he answered on the topic just recently?

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 5d

COLLINS: Pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell -- is that something you're open to doing?

TRUMP: Who are we talking about?

C: Ghislaine Maxwell

T: I haven't heard the name is so long. I can say this -- I'd have to take a look at it ... I will speak to the DOJ

C: She's convicted of child sex trafficking

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

It’s a regime not an administration.

The secret police not immigration enforcement.

These aren’t raids. They’re state-sanctioned violence and pogroms.

Don’t let the media continue to use language that condones fascism.

Words matter.

So we don’t know if Trump or one of his loon goon squad blew up the judges house, but we kinda suspect this may be the case.
With all the evil shit coming from this admin, why would we even doubt for a minute that he’s capable of a mob style hit?
Remember Jan 6th? People died then too.

There is no longer room in America to be "apolitical."

We can no longer assume that the rest of the nation operates in its best interests and will carry American democracy across the finish line for us.

Every person who cares about living in a free society must mobilize their passion and power.
