Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.
They’ve had their necks kneeled on.
They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.
At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Of course, VA Dems and Rs were VERY different back in the 1940s, 50s, etc. than they are today, but still...Spanberger's margin was the biggest for a VA Dem governor candidate since 1961 and the third-biggest governor candidate margin overall since 1961. bluevirginia.us/2025/11/12-m...

How much more could ACA Marketplaces enrollees pay if the enhanced premium tax credits expire at the end of the year?

Let's be clear. The Trump admin doesn't have to cut off SNAP benefits. There's a contingency fund built for this very reason! They are *choosing* to starve 42 million Americans just to win political points.

"Not only is Donald Trump not here, not negotiating, Mike Johnson has now shut down the House for 39 consecutive days. There's no one to negotiate with. Across town, Trump is building a $300 million ballroom while he is set to let Americans starve."

Jeffries: "Do what leaders do as opposed to being missing in actio for 28 days while finding $40b to bail out a right-wing wannabe dictator in Argentina & destroying the historic parts of the WH so he can construct a ballroom where he'll be celebrated like a wannabe king.
