There are basically 2 ways to unite any group of people, having a common goal or a common enemy. Never thought the free world would unite the second way thanks to America but here we are.
Isn’t it amazing that the party that got rid of the Fairness Doctrine is suddenly so concerned about partisan viewpoints on TV.

Really can’t wait for the moment when maga realizes nobody is taking all those jobs the immigrants they deported were doing.

Really shocked that “tattoo” wasn’t drawn with a sharpie.
This exchange is so very telling.
Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this:
"I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.

Reading about the Rupert Murdoch family trust mess. My favorite anecdote is when Rupert’s lawyer cross-examined his son James, trying to get him to admit that his plans to make Fox News more honest would hurt its value because it’s business model was to just tell viewers what they wanted to hear. 👀

General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF.
His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff.
He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF.
I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.

Sure seems like MAGA’s believe that all that “waste, fraud and abuse” that DOGE is finding will trickle down to them.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.
Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.
Funny how that works, huh?

Two lawyers, one Yale educated, one Harvard educated; one the VP, one a senator, suggesting that decisions made by courts aren’t legitimate if they don’t like the outcome. This is dangerous territory.

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections.
Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.
