They know the deal. Sadly Dems are weak (and/or corrupt) AF, exceptions can be counted on 2 hands.

Finally you understand getting your news from anywhere other than the U.S. (unless it’s independent media) is the smart thing to do. Bravo.

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House.

Not a single offer.

Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

As a Chicago native who lived there nearly 30 years, I can confirm without a doubt Chicago people will never put up with this shit. Ever.

We would like to thank Kristi Noem for bringing cameras with her everywhere and collecting evidence for her future trial at The Hague.

As a Chicago native, I can confirm Pritzker is not only a fantastic governor, he is a gem of a human. One of the very few billionaires that cares deeply about others and does everything he possibly can to help people, for decades. Bear down!

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

As a Chicago native, although I’ve been in California 31 years and love it, Chicago is the best city. Pritzker is also a fantastic governor and a gem of a human. One of the few billionaires that cares deeply about others and does everything he possibly can to help people, for decades. Bear down!
