NSPM-7 is a Presidential Memorandum recently put out by the Trump administration that seemingly denotes all kinds of beliefs, speech, viewpoints and opinions including economic, religious and political matters as potential crimes or causes of terrorism. pca.st/episode/0914...

The meme-ification of political violence

It's less ideology than the internet — what the media and Trump don't understand about the current wave of shootings.

NSPM-7 is horrifying and definitely unconstitutional as hell! What do they mean “traditional American views on family, religion and morality”? What do they mean “anti-American, anti-capitalist or anti-religious views? If they are going to try to shut down the DNC and Act Blue? Wake up media!

Weird how Antifa never asks me for money. Everyone else does, but Antifa is very quiet.

Texas AG Ken Paxton hired a former staffer to work on a recent case. As a state employee, her labor would have cost taxpayers $641.

As a private attorney, Paxton allowed her to bill $3,780 an hour, so that day of work cost taxpayers $24,570.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton Is Outsourcing More of His Office’s Work to Costly Private Lawyers

Despite having an office of hundreds of attorneys, Ken Paxton is frequently opting for private lawyers — many to whom he has personal or political ties — to argue on behalf of Texas. One attorney cost...

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."

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Mike Johnson only wants Lee Greenwood to perform the halftime show at the Super Bowl because Lawrence Welk is dead and therefore unavailable.

An interesting explanation behind the Trump regime’s play acting. We can only hope that some of their ignorance and incompetence might slow down the process. We still need to do everything we can to get Democrats or democracy oriented independents into office ASAP.
