🚨BREAKING: Republicans are in FULL MELTDOWN MODE. Their lies are collapsing, their shutdown backfired, and Democrats are WINNING big. 💥

📉 Trump’s approval? Cratering.
📊 Every Trump policy? Underwater in the polls.
🗳 Democrats? Overperforming in elections — even in red states

If you ever find yourself zip tying a child's hands I wanna be really clear with you on what this says about you. You're not one of the "good guys." You're the problem. Your soul is rotten. Your intentions are evil. And whoever is above you telling you to do this is the pure embodiment of evil.

Trump's hand-picked majority on the Supreme Court has abdicated their responsibility to follow the law and the Constitution and instead of acting as the highest court within our third branch of government, they have instead behaved as a rubber stamp for an unhinged authoritarian President.

“Yet again this week, we saw nauseating footage of ICE raids... with perhaps the worst happening in Chicago, where federal agents handcuffed a city council member, tossed a tear gas canister onto a busy street near a school and raided a whole apartment building, turning apartments upside down."

Just last week, Trump signed an EO designating Antifascists (ANTIFA) as a domestic terrorist organization that is worded so that ANYONE protesting ICE agents, filming or asking them for ID, or simply informing people of their rights can be charged as a domestic terrorist.

Chief Justice John Roberts has led the Supreme Court for 20 years now. In that time, his Republican-appointed majority has completely transformed America and its politics, with many of its most destructive opinions written by Roberts himself.

Trump is considering relief/bailouts for famers and carmakers who are being ruined by his tariffs.

Now riddle me this:

Why does a country need relief from an economic strategy he promised would make us great?

You got played, chumps.

Why would the US Justice Department remove a study from its website that concluded that far-right extremists have killed far more Americans than any other domestic terror group?

Trump sending troops from other states to attack blue states is an act of war. Trump is committing treason. Period.

🚨 If you’re wondering why Trump is doing all this — it’s simple: he wants unrest. He wants anarchy. ⚠️

He’s not trying to lead a democracy — he’s trying to destroy it. His plan is to create so much chaos that he can point to it and say, “The country’s too unstable for elections.”

Speaker Mike Johnson’s press conference was cut off the air by MSNBC, after he once again lied about Obamacare subsidies. Host Ana set the record straight: “Just to make sure we don’t offer misleading information ... There is no access for undocumented immigrants to get Obamacare....”

Rafie Ollah Shouhed — a 79-year-old American citizen — says ICE agents body-slammed him during a raid at his car wash in Los Angeles. His lawyer calls it excessive force. He’s now filed a $50 million federal claim against DHS and ICE. This is what “law & order” really looks like.

Pam Bondi spent her Senate testimony today stonewalling every tough question with culture war theatrics. When Adam Schiff pressed her on dropped investigations and the politicization of the Justice Department, Bondi fired back, telling Schiff, “If you worked for me, you’d have been fired..."

Bodycam footage from the Chicago ICE shooting shows a chilling moment that directly contradicts the agents' official story. Before opening fire, a Border Patrol agent taunted Marimar Martinez by saying, "Do something, b*tch," as he abruptly pulled over and immediately shot her 5-7 times.
