So where is the money coming from. I support shutting down the governement this Friday until the truth about the US finances can be sorted out. (Frankly a shut down government has more value to me than the current open one.)

well I did not expect to hear Stephen Miller namechecked in a Bruce Springsteen song but here we are
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

My hope is that recent comments from other senior Republican lawmakers is starting to show that they realize that hitching their wagon to Trump will not help their reelection chances.
From what I'm hearing from folks on the ground, this is exactly correct. This regime does nothing but lie, and they respond to nothing but strength. Dems and other leaders should recognize they're weak now - ignore the propaganda and go on offense.
I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that Trump is "pivoting" and "deescalating" on his ICE raids. The threshold is this: As long as the military occupations and the treatment of US cities as enemy territory continue, there's no pivot. ICE out. 1/

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

I guess that makes trump the new messiah. Is that better than a peace prize?
For some Christians, the Iranian protests are more than just a popular uprising; they are the fulfillment of ancient Biblical prophecies that foretell the second coming of the Messiah.
The evangelicals who think Iran’s protests mean Jesus is returning
"Iran will be Christian."
