I think we need allies within the FBI that act loyal to the orange turd but gather and store information to take down the most crooked government ever elected in American history?

Apparently, allowing Americans to file their tax returns for free is a bad thing. A big gift to the Big Tax lobby and a big middle finger to Americans.

New revelations complicate the Gabbard, RFK Jr. confirmation fights

Tulsi Gabbard's and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nominations were already on shaky ground. New reporting about their records won't do them any favors.

Demagogues, oligarchs, and literal teenage boys are tearing apart our government. They are fueled by Silicon Valley’s dream of a monarchist network state and blood and soil white nationalism and every day they are in power means years of work required to fix it.
