2025 is about reading the most dystopian bullshit you've ever seen and then having to still go to the store.

Michael Wolff saw the photographs of Donald Trump with half naked girls, a stain on the front of his pants. Half naked children. Epstein took the photos of Trump out of his safe and showed them to Michael.

Real question: why do we need Johnson to 'seat' Rep-elect Grijalva?
Who cares about swearing in? She's been elected. Call a locksmith, unlock the office, go to work. Fuck their traditions. They don't follow rules. Why should we?

According to the Worst "President" Ever,
Portland is “burning to the ground.”

The reality feels a lot different.
But how can you be sure?
A new website, isportlandburning.com
answers the question.

How?
Live cameras of the city,
fact-checked claims &
a live map of fire incidents in the city.

Is Portland Burning?

No. See real-time Portland cameras, PulsePoint incidents, and sourced fact checks.

The Republicans will destroy the American people to protect Trump, a man photographed by Epstein as he [Trump] posed with half naked girls. Children. Michael Wolff saw the photographs. Epstein took the photos out of his safe and showed them to him.

An urgent warning from the last six surgeons general about RFK Jr’s threats to America.

It’s long past time for this hack to resign.

Opinion | Six surgeons general: It’s our duty to warn the nation about RFK Jr.

We took an oath to declare dangers when we found them. We’re doing that again today.

The whole obsession Trnmp has over the peace prize is that Obama won it in 2009.

That's it. He refuses to be denied a prize that the black president won.

New Yorkers know Attorney General James for who she is: a champion for justice who fights relentlessly for the people. Donald Trump knows her only as an obstacle to his corruption.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

This is the way. Mock the fascists and their ICE Gestapo. They aren’t a legimitate social structure. They are death and cruelty. They are clowns.

BREAKING: Letitia James held Trump accountable & now he’s hijacking the DOJ to indict her in retaliation

This isn’t justice, it’s abuse of power

We will be amending our existing ethics complaint against Halligan & pursuing other legal measures

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

MUST WATCH: A sitting Congressman refused to even look at evidence tying Trump to Epstein. Not disbelief—self-preservation.

They know the moment they read it, they can’t deny it under oath.

They’re shielding everyone who benefited from Epstein’s network of power, silence, and control.

A sane country would begin impeachment proceedings ASAP. Or yesterday. Or not have reelected him. Or not have elected him at all in the first place.
