Jon Ossoff sums it up: “This is the cruelest & most arrogant group of people who ever ascended to high office - their cruelty & arrogance are only matched by their incompetence."

BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two. Every day, we inch closer to fascism.

The Colbert situation is scary (assuming this is political, which it has to be, right?) because it's a good reminder that there's like 5 media companies out there that control everything now. It takes a very small amount of people to effectively silence any large scale criticism of the government.

imagine that Joe Biden had tweeted that he had just BOMBED the shit out of another country and then ended it with 'thank you for your attention to this matter.' Republicans would have burned DC to the fucking ground

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

A quick history lesson for Gen Z and Gen Alpha. ICE is not an American institution. It was created in 2003 by the 1st GW Bush Administration (who was only there because SCOTUS stole the 2000 election). ICE was an overreaction to 9/11. And now it's trying to finish the job.

President Donald Trump on Sunday night reiterated an extraordinary ambition he and members of his administration have voiced from time to time throughout his young second term: One day, Americans won’t pay any more income tax, and you’ll have Trump’s tariffs to thank for it.

To everyone shouting “no one is above the law” referring to that Milwaukee judge: We have a criminal in the White House. A guy who’s proven to be utterly lawless. And you’re perfectly fine with that. So take your “no one is above the law” bullshit and shove it up your ass.

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants. So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House. The hypocrisy is outrageous.

We have 3 branches of federal government. Usually, if one is not working properly, the other 2 can step in. Have we ever had another time in our nation's history when *none* of the branches were working? Yes, the judiciary seemed prepared to step into the breach--until SCOTUS ruined things again.

10,000 Health and Human Services employees are being laid off. These are the people who track diseases, conduct research, make sure our food and medicine is safe, and administer health insurance for nearly half the country. Tell me how this will "make America healthy again."

Breathtaking. A federal prosecutor in LA was fired Friday at the behest of the White House, after lawyers for a fast-food executive he was prosecuting pushed officials in DC to drop all charges against him White House ordered firing of L.A. federal prosecutor on ex-Fatburger CEO case, sources say

Stewart-Cousins: My father had Social Security in the amount of $300. Like Lutnick said, he would not have called if he did not get the Social Security check. He had dementia. But the people who take care of him would have called because it made the difference of him keeping a roof over his head

AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person. I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense. I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...
