The MAGA regime says they will create a 4-day athletic event called “Patriot Games” which will feature one man and one woman from each state and territory.

Instead of making healthcare affordable, they’re wasting millions on a Hunger Games version of American Gladiators.

WTF? ICE is arguing in court that US CITIZENS can be detained, handcuffed, and biometrically screened unless they can prove citizenship on the spot. And that a REAL ID isn't enough. This isn't border security.

Donald Trump has achieved what NO OTHER President ever could.

He transformed the USA from the most powerful and respected nation in the world into an authoritarian sh*thole that no one wants to visit.

You work here is done. Time to go. No really, step down. Now.

Shame on the Supreme Court. Every last one of the justices who voted to expand access to weapons of mass destruction in 🇺🇸 need to be 🥾 when the Democrats get back the majority. That should be the first item accomplished 🥊.

Meanwhile in Australia, they are already talking about changing their gun laws after the horrific shooting that just happened there. Their worst in 30yrs!

"Chris Minns said he will be “almost certainly” looking at changing gun laws."

THAT is the right response, not buying bulletproof backpacks!🤦🏼‍♀️😡

"Every lockdown drill is a confession of failure. Every barricaded classroom is an indictment. Every child taught to hide is proof that the adults in charge have surrendered."
What Are We Doing to Our Children?
We taught kids to read, write, and dream; then trained them to hide, barricade, and bleed quietly while adults chose guns, cowardice, and silence over their future.

Corruption out in the open. How can the White House have the power to approve a merger or block a competing one where Trump’s own son-in-law stands to make millions? This is why the FTC should remain independent—and why Trump wants to control it.
