This is what authoritarianism looks like!!! Rep Omar is a congresswoman.

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com

Federal ICE agents raided Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Washington-area home before dawn this morning. The Trump DOJ confirms agents executed a search warrant as part of a criminal investigation reportedly involving immigration paperwork completed by Omar’s late father when she was a CHILD. 1/

Amazing! neither of them turned it into a monologue about how wonderful they are; they were 'child focused', enhanced her experience & made it memorable for all the right reasons! Unlike some narcissistic autocrat might have done. Authentic leadership has many facets....but they know that.

Child: This is my first time meeting a mayor. Mamdani: Wow, have you ever met a prime minister? Child: No Norway PM Jonas Gahr Støre: *walks over*

The next question: Will DJT continue to ignore court rulings he does not like or will he OBEY THE RULE OF LAW????

Millions of Americans - including Trump - vote by mail. SCOTUS protected them today. Protecting the right to vote shouldn’t be a partisan issue and SCOTUS said that loud and clear today. www.politico.com/news/2026/09...

Healthcare prices are due to increase by 11% - meaning companies and families will pay more, only for patients to receive worse care. All of this because Trump & the GOP prioritized tax cuts for billionaires over making healthcare affordable. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/02/b...

nytimes.comEmployer Health Costs Are Expected to Spike in 2027A new U.S. survey anticipates an average increase of 11 percent unless benefits are cut, the highest rate in decades. Other findings also predict a sharp rise.

Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: "It's not radical to believe that people should be able to afford their groceries, have healthcare, or drink clean water." When fear runs the show in politics, centering the essentials people need to live is just common sense!

Politicians love shouting “support our troops” until service members and military families ask for basic empathy and accountability. Calling them liars when the proof is right there on their phones is cowardice.

NC's Duke Energy is pushing for a 9%+ rate increase! Michael Whatley pocketed $10K from their PAC while holding close to half a million dollars’ worth of Duke stock. So when your power bill keeps climbing, you’re padding corrupt politicians' portfolios!

Cruelty is the foundation of GOP platform & politics. It is a real time reflection of the total lack of humanity within their body politic, sadly.

Rushing children through removal hearings in a language they don't understand and without proper legal representation demonstrates a complete lack of humanity—not to mention a disregard for federal protections for unaccompanied minors. It's just cruel. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

AGREED ! This is not farcical...it's tragic. It is a perversion of everything the AG office is supposed to be. Todd Blanche is not morally qualified to be in the 'Justice Dept'.

Dr. Jack Brown@drjackbrown.bsky.social

Any Senator who votes to confirm Todd Blanche is also siding with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell – and is actively participating in covering-up their numerous and heinous crimes.

Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."
