It’s absurd that the Regime is saying Portland and Chicago are war zones. Absolutely ABSURD! Well, hopefully the super hero Antifa frog can save the day.

The ICE stories in this Reddit thread should shake every American, regardless of party, to their core. We no longer have a Constitution. This is fascism, pure and simple.

Someone who can't tell the difference between a constitutionally protected peaceful protest and an insurrection shouldn't be the president. Just to make things clear, THIS is what an insurrection looks like.

Thus far, ICE and CBP in the Chicago region killed an immigrant

Shot a woman 5 times-after allegedly taunting her, saying “Do something, b****”

And shot a priest-who wasn’t remotely a threat-in the head

So when does Governor Pritzker deploy the National Guard to protect citizens from these thugs

In 1967, David Sánchez and Carlos Montes founded the Brown Berets in East Los Angeles to combat discrimination and fight for equality and community rights for Mexican Americans. They modeled the group after the Black Panther Party. /1

Everyone in Trump's Administration who were part of creating #Project2025 are trying their hardest to make Trump even more unpopular with MAGA because Peter Thiel and the #techbros have made it clear they want Trump out and Vance in as President.

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) today floated the idea that workers furloughed during a government shutdown are not guaranteed back pay when the shutdown is resolved.

A MAGA AG dumping false oppo in an oversight hearing shows just how low they go. We usually expect Attorneys General to say true things. Seems like a reasonable expectation.

In today’s writing club, we discussed writing dialogue. Some tips: dialogue occurs amid movement and action, in context that changes what the words themselves mean. The interactions among speakers, and among words and movements, and mannerisms, reveal characters—and lies.

A new Trump administration memo would have immense consequences for one key group: 25% of all federal employees are US military veterans. Republicans are putting the financial security of hundreds of thousands of veterans and their families at risk.

Scoop: White House memo says furloughed federal workers aren't entitled to backpay

A move to deny backpay to up to 750,000 furloughed workers would dramatically escalate Trump's pressure on Democrats to end the shutdown.

Today in Politics Chat, I talked about how power sloshes around when a president is checked out, and noted that right now unelected officials like Stephen Miller are trying to grab it. But instead, We the People can take it back and create a better nation.

For a real president, "our people" means "Americans."

Every day, in every way, he's telling millions of Americans that they don't count.

“.. we’re going to take care of our people,” Trump added. “There are some people that really don’t deserve to be taken care of. And we’ll take care of them in a different way.”
