Wait one damn minute‼️

I know Lisa Murkowski isn’t up on her high horse talking about the lack of trust between Republicans and Democrats after she cast the deciding “Yes” on the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill and slipped in backroom deals for Alaska.

She’s part of the problem & needs to own it!

The official government account for DHS appears to be run by far-right trolls deliberately trying to provoke a response by using a term openly associated with ethnic cleansing. They will attack anyone who points this out and express faux outrage at the suggestion. They know what they are doing.

Remigration Wikipedia Page.

Not to be confused with Return migration.
Remigration is an originally European far-right proposal of ethnic cleansing via the mass deportation of non-white immigrants and their descendants, sometimes including those born in Europe, to their place of racial ancestry.
It is popular especially within the Identitarian movement. Some proponents of remigration suggest excluding some persons with non-European background from such a mass deportation, based on a varyingly defined degree of assimilation into European culture.

Congressional Democrats marched to Mike Johnson’s office demanding that he swear in Democrat Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, who would become the crucial 218th signature on the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

Doesn't have to be Fedora - look around for the Linux distro that works for you. :)

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

They already shut down the government because....reasons. Now that they've done that, and royally fucked up, can we think a bit bigger here than scraps?

Instead of holding out for further subsidizing the health insurance industry, could we pushing instead for free Healthcare for all?

With the average new car at $50,000, let's look at the real costs of "freedom":

✅ Decades of debt
✅ Social isolation for every trip
✅ A leading cause of death & injury

Car dependency is a financially and socially crippling system, not a choice.

Prices for new vehicles have risen steadily in the last year as the pace of price increases has sped up in recent months, according to Cox Automotive’s Kelley Blue Book.

Here's an idea.

We lock this entire administration and congress in the White House for one full work week (M-F) to try and hash out a budget. We allow one other person in, Robert Maudsley, with full unrestricted access.

We do a role call at COB Friday to find out who was guilty.
