UAE has no democratically elected institutions, no free speech and an appalling human rights record.

Its economy functions on completely different metrics to the ours & ranks well below us for GDP

No serious person would ever think that we should emulate it.

But here's Tice calling us decadent

Let's focus on Steven Millers slip up on CNN.
Who the hell does he think he is?

Plenary?Plenary authority?

No Steven Miller, Wrong again!!

No! You do not plenary authority to harm the American Public. It is cruel and illegal. You do not have the executive power to overthrow our own government

The goon squads terrorizing citizens in the US and the bimbo brigade in this administration really shows that the orange felon puts the worst of the worst in charge, where lying, corruption and hateful acts are becoming common place. When will the dems stop them from tearing the country apart?

Congress also gave themselves top level health care at no cost to them. The GOP/SCOTUS is a gang of criminals. They don't give a fuck about Americans.

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?

Quoting a book of fantasy as fact is what the christo-cult morons rely on to defraud people and justify violence and cruelty. Their smug hypocrisy is disgusting.

SCOTUS gave a felon permission to commit murder and call it "official acts."

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

How many bags of money did Bondi get for her dismissal of charges against Epstein in 2008? She and Alex Acosta gave Epstein a sweetheart deal.

A reminder on the 8th day of this Republican shutdown: Speaker Johnson could call Members back to negotiate to re-open the government any time he wants. He's choosing not to.

Republicans would rather raise costs and kick millions of Americans off their health care.

Since the Speaker refuses to swear in Grijalva, a duly elected Member, the House can & must act:

1. Pass a resolution authorizing another Member to swear her in

2. File a Motion to Compel or censure Speaker for dereliction of duty

3. Apply public & political pressure

🔊 RELEASE EPSTEIN FILES.

Y’all! The woman in Chicago who was shot by ICE after allegedly ramming agents with her car didn’t do it.
Body-cam footage shows the opposite. The ICE agent rammed her then jumped out, and started shooting. Video posted on social media forced them to release their footage.

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.
