Does anyone remember how many senate hearings actually produced anything positive?

I don't.

ICE THUGS arrested a pastor & kept asking him "Are you afraid?" numerous occasions. The pastor said NO. Eventually the THUGS let him go stating that "You're WHITE, you're no fun to us!!"
This is how sick & deranged these THUGS are, thanks to this REGIME‼️

DAVE MATTHEWS: “I don’t want my taxes to pay for masked thugs to roam our streets & terrorize our communities... She was trying to get away. He shot her 3x in the head. Murdered in cold blood. They’re trying to tell us not to believe what we see. FUCK ICE.”

He’s concerned about the safety of violent protesters in Iran but doesn’t give a fuck about peaceful citizens being murdered on American streets. 🤬

We should be ashamed and embarrassed to be a society in which people will willingingly, actively, point a loaded gun in the face of a fellow citizen.

A free society should be one where government employees don't put a gun to your face when you're exercising a core tenet of said society: free speech

Fascism is here.

Whether or not we stand up to and eradicate it is the only question left.

NO ONE is coming to save us...not Congress, not the courts, not law enforcement, not the military.

IF, and it's a substantial IF, we get out of this, it will be because of us.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

Shapiro: J.D. Vance is profoundly and pathetically a weak human being, and he does whatever he thinks his boss wants him to do.

What we need right now is not idiotic gaslighting from the sitting VP

He should be ashamed of himself—and he’s not. I think that speaks to the weakness of his character.

I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home.

We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss.

We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.

As an American, I never thought I would see masked federal agents in unmarked cars plucking people off the streets. ICE is out of control.
Masked ICE agents reportedly arrest 3 on Seattle’s Aurora Avenue North
Police responded to reports that armed, masked immigration agents arrested three men Wednesday, pulling them into an unmarked van.

Just saying aloud. The new colonialism. The US will "control the incredible natural resources of Venezuela." What might the people of Venezuela have to say about that?

The Department of Justice has sued 24 states and the District of Columbia for access to sensitive voter data on more than 100,000,000 Americans.

My law firm has intervened on behalf of voters to fight DOJ in 23 of the 25 cases. Tomorrow we will do the same in the remaining two. Stay tuned.

Trump: "I have determined that, for the Good of our Country, especially in these very troubled and dangerous times, our Military Budget for the year 2027 should not be $1 Trillion Dollars, but rather $1.5 Trillion. This will allow us to build the 'Dream Military' that we have long been entitled to."

Following the deadly ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz admonished the Trump administration for "governing by reality TV" and exclaimed, "We do not need any further help from the federal government."

Tim Walz is mobilizing the MN National Guard, and reminds Minnesotans that the guard "is OURS - our teachers and our neighbors." He asks Minnesotans to respect them. "They're there to protect you and your constitutional rights. They don't wear masks."

Tim Walz mobilizing the MN national guard to protect his own citizens from ICE’s gun-slinging, masked vigilantes is the correct use of those forces. I hope the MN attorney general expeditiously secures a murder indictment against that ICE agent, because he cannot be allowed to walk freely.
