For the record I’m neither a bleeding heart liberal or a card carrying Nazi. I’m of a dying breed of independents who vote for people instead of parties. I’ve tended to vote for more liberals of late because of the Nazification of the right.

Let's focus on Steven Millers slip up on CNN.
Who the hell does he think he is?

Plenary?Plenary authority?

No Steven Miller, Wrong again!!

No! You do not plenary authority to harm the American Public. It is cruel and illegal. You do not have the executive power to overthrow our own government

Yet another incident that would’ve gotten any other president immediately impeached that is only the 127th worst thing Trump has done in 2025.

Schiff: "If a president in secret can put names on a list and kill them, then there is no war power still retained by Congress, and there's no check on an executive who may drag us into another war."

The major media outlets are all owned by the mega rich who don’t want to disrupt the flow of capital to their coffers. CNN has stated that orange Mussolini is great for ratings since he’s constantly lying about something which they cover and then profit from it. That’s just one example. Complicity.

Finally a bill I can unequivocally support!

Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a law that will require streaming advertisements to have the same audio level as the shows they interrupt.

Starting in July, the volume level of ads on streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and HBO Max must match that of the content.

Expect other states to follow.

Fairs fair right? Send Illinois state guard to Austin to defend the liberals and round up the MAGAs! Austinites would probably love it.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Trump is not worried about Americans losing their jobs because he is the direct cause of the job loses.

I suspect that he doesn't really understand the concept of a job. He's never really had to work for income in his life and has always had wealth, thus the idea that people have to work for money is foreign to him. And it would require empathy which he doesn't possess.

The Vets are speaking out and speaking up. You see they might disagree with the Democrats, they might disagree with the Republicans. What they don’t disagree with is free speech, the constitution, their oath. Get behind your vets if they’re they are with the people. Some won’t be. Majority will.
