Yet somehow Republicans have managed to fool the public into thinking they're better about spending, deficits and debts.

I told you they’d come after Veterans’ benefits. www.stripes.com/veterans/202...
Veterans slam new VA rule for determining disability ratings
The new rule states that a disability level must be based on how well a veteran functions while on medication and not on the underlying impairment.

NEW — An obscure Navy contractor program is making Trump’s plans to quickly build out and supply immigrant concentration camps around the country a reality.

Here I explain WEXMAC TITUS, an acronym you need to understand:
For ICE to build concentration camps quickly, they're leaning on this Dept. of War program
WEXMAC TITUS helps contractors bypass the traditionally lengthy government contract bidding process

BREAKING: I read the new version of the “Save America Act” (S. 1383) so u don’t have to. Here’s my summary. Point 1 is new. It requires that all 50 states send their voter rolls to the DHS to run thru DHS’s faulty “SAVE” voter purge program. Points 6 & 7 are new too. Tell ur Senators #NoOnSAVE 1/

This video hit me especially hard this morning.

This beautiful Husky has been roaming the streets for 3 months, evading capture after his family was disappeared by ICE in Watts, CA.

This is new. “Violent criminal” immigrants are driving Americans’ wages down??????
JD Vance: "What we have consistently said is that we want to deport violent criminals, people who came in under the Biden administration, and get them out of the country so Americans' wages can go up."

Been banging the drum on this one since he showed up trying to get his DOGE kids access to all those separate silos of data on American citizens and feeding it into AI! No one paid attention. This is it right here. It's always been about "making lists" for ICE and now they got the cash too.

DHS paid a Russian oligarch, Andrey Sharkov, $130,000,000 for a warehouse in Social Circle, Georgia, a town of 5,000. The Russian paid $29,000,000 for the property in 2023 & last year its assessed value was still $29,000,000. ICE paid 4 TIMES the assessed value for the property. Don Jr kickbacks?
From Hopium:
- We must keep standing up for our neighbors, get ICE to focus on criminals, and leave the rest of us alone
- DHS overpaid Russian $100m for ICE warehouse
- Welcoming the year of The Fire Horse

LEFT: Someone who appears in the Epstein files over a million times. Epstein called him his "best friend."

RIGHT: Someone never mentioned in the Epstein files—even once. And she never met him.

So guess which one is being hauled before our corrupt, cover-upping Congress to testify about Epstein.

Missed this yesterday. Encouraging.
Bipartisan governors just said NO to Trump's partisan stunt—NGA cancels White House meet after he tried inviting Republicans only. Even GOP chair Stitt called it out: We represent ALL 50 states, not just his club. This is leadership standing firm against division. Who's next? #sheshed

Treatments for childhood cancer, Alzheimer’s, and sickle cell are at risk.

Donald Trump slashed funds, and Massachusetts’s world-class researchers were hit hard.

It's terrifying — and every family holding out hope for lifesaving treatments will hurt from this.

EXCLUSIVE: Evidence Indicates Jeffrey Epstein Was Key to 2016 Pro-Trump Election Meddling
So much attention has been paid to Epstein's serial sex crimes that we've spent too little time asking whether Trump owes his political career to a dead pedophilic rapist he can’t stop lying about.
