It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican.
It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong.
People are awakening to this new reality — and they're speaking up.

In case you missed the performance… this is a summary of what is really going on.
The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

Republicans complain about Texas Democrats “fleeing”—yet just days ago, they themselves fled D.C. to avoid voting on the Epstein files.
Why? To protect a convicted felon sitting in the Oval Office.

Trump wants to cut the National Institutes of Health budget by 40%.
But even a 10% cut would prevent an estimated 30 new medications from reaching the market over the next 30 years.

A lot of the worst videos coming out of LA in recent weeks haven't been ICE, they've been Border Patrol, under El Centro Sector Chief Bovino, who responded to Mayor Bass with "The federal government is not leaving L.A ... Better get used to us now, because this is gonna be normal very soon."
NEW — Video shared with me by a bystander shows Customs and Border Patrol violently arresting people yesterday outside a Home Depot in Van Nuys, CA. One man screams in agony as he’s handcuffed, while another is on the ground with two agents on top of him. The agents refuse to identify themselves.

A bipartisan majority of House members voted to censure Rep. Al Green after he was escorted out of President Trump's speech to a joint session of Congress for repeated heckling.
