They'll be stunned by the loyalty of the poor.”

It’s sad that some folks only ‘see the light’ when it hits home. We were sent here to represent hundreds of thousands of people, not just our households.

It’s time for Republicans to remember their oath and do right by the people they serve.

Perhaps you’ve noticed; the more immigrants they detain and deport…the more violent the United States is becoming. I see a clear connection.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Yes! Yes, you do!

The whole world is watching, and we are shaking our heads in disbelief that such a wonderful awe-inspiring country could turn to crap in such a short period of time, all due to one low-life pedo-creep felon and his regime.

The resistance fought valiantly to push back the fascist forces, risking arrest & harm. The fascists tried beating them, tear gassing, and water cannons to push them back. The resistance was armed with only signs, flags, and the strength of their bravery. #3E #GeorgiaProtests

Every day I’ve been getting angrier when I think about how maga, the so called alpha male bros, always punch down at people who are less fortunate or struggling.

This isn’t manliness. It’s cowardly, it’s shameful, and it makes you look like a tiny little douche face

Understand what they are doing: using the massive power of the state - including military power and the power to imprison - to carry out a campaign to eliminate their political opposition.

It's growing in seriousness by the hour.

The Supreme Court passed Ghislaine Maxwell back to Fat Satan so he can give her the blackmail pardon.

“Haven't heard the name in so long. I’ll take a look at it. I’ll speak to the DOJ. A lot of people have asked me for pardons.”

Jay just dropped a bombshell video saying Trump will Invoke the Insurrection Act and declare martial law. This isn’t “law and order.” It’s dictatorship talk straight from the guy who tried to overturn an election. It’s in Project 2025.
