I honestly don’t know what to say anymore. It is overwhelmingly clear at this point that the Republican Party has sold its soul to protect a child rapist, led by wealthy ghouls who will never have enough.
There is only one war, now and forever, and it is the class war. There must be consequences.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

vance really does stand out for his absolute contempt for anything that looks like forbearance and generosity. his immediate instinct is always to demagogue and issue calumnies against his fellow americans.
JD Vance: "What we know is that in Dallas, Texas, an ICE facility was opened fire open by a violent left-wing extremist, a person who wrote anti-ICE messaging on their ballots. These's some evidence we have that's not yet public."

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

The Trump administration is LYING about how long people are stuck waiting for help with their Social Security benefits.
I pressed the Social Security Commissioner and got him to agree to an independent investigation.
Instead of fudging the numbers, do your job and help people.

As a society America is the tirelessly repeated internet video of an idiot playing with a known dangerous firework because they CAN and then the caption is not IF they lost fingers but how many. In our case in place if fingers it'll be Portland Maine getting nuked instead of Portland Oregon.

Rent is skyrocketing and wages are stagnating. Talk about the economic pain. They will deny abuse, but they won’t deny their light bill.
They don’t practice empathy.

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it.
- Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders.
- Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.
