We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war.
If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

Watching the inevitable meltdown of two egotistical men in power as they fight on social media like two 12-year olds.

"Habeas corpus is a fundamental legal principle and judicial writ that ensures a person cannot be unlawfully detained. In simple terms, it requires the government to present a valid reason for holding someone in custody."
HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?
NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country
HASSAN: That's incorrect

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

A few days ago, President Trump issued an executive order seeking to block all federal funding to NPR, the latest in a series of threats to media organizations across the country.

In 1911, a fire broke out on the top floor of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory. Fires weren't uncommon, but this fire would long be remembered. Because the mostly young, immigrant women who lost their lives that day had been locked inside by their factory bosses...

If #HB366 passes, you could face 1 YR IN PRISON for posting political jokes, memes, and political criticism without a gvt-approved disclaimer.
This is about silencing dissent, and classic authoritarianism.

I just want to point out when those in our government are using the word "we" as in "we are doing great", they don't mean me and you.
They believe themselves kings and queens so they use the royal "we". 👑
