Today ICE shot a man in the Bronx in front of his kid; yet DHS seems more concerned about peaceful, constitutionally protected advocacy to defend our communities than it does about masked government agents killing, assaulting, and cruelly detaining people—including American citizens.

The American Bar Association laid out the receipts. Big donors get appointments. Big money flows in, investigations disappear, pardons follow, regulations loosen and foreign governments get favorable treatment. The article calls it an “unprecedented pay-to-play culture.” #PayToPlayPresident

If you’re not from Missouri, you may not know that Eric Schmitt got his start in MAGA politics by suing public schools for mask mandates while their teachers died during a pandemic. The really strange thing? He never sued his own kids’ school for their mask mandate. He’s a piece of Schitt.

Fun fact: the U.S. House can sue a sitting president with a simple majority vote. If the Democrats retake the chamber, they should do more than just "investigate" Trump's corruption. They should sue him in federal court for the illegal ballroom, Qatari jet, and more.

You may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you. Every time Republicans cut services, every time your rent goes up—that's politics. They're betting you won't show up. Prove them wrong. If we're not at the table, we're on the menu. #BlueWaveIn50Days

Ken Paxton got a $250,000 donation from the chair of Texas Tech’s Board of Regents. The next day, he threatened to sue the Big 12 to protect Brendan Sorsby, the Tech quarterback who was caught illegally betting on his games. Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in Texas.

Here the simple truth: conservative policies only exist to consolidate wealth and power to à decided few. Individual rights and privileges will be curtailed and abandoned to meet this goal. This not speculation it is observed history.

The biggest retailers are buying back stock to inflate the asset class. the rest of workers are subsidizing their profits by pushing the labor cost on the working class. They are making working people subsidize profits by paying their workers poverty wages. www.foodnavigator.com/Article/2026...

Here’s a heat map for where healthcare burns. Make note one is the actual cost not the percentage of household income. The red hot states don’t tell he true pain at the bedside: The pink map it is the cost by percentage of income:

Do MAGAs understand that if Trump nukes Iran, America and *all Americans* will *never* be forgiven? In fact, even the *serious threat* of a nuclear war crime could make it so that you, your whole family, and all your American friends are unwelcome around the world until you die. Think about that.

VITALI: Trump says he thinks this is because you don't like him CORNYN: I've voted with him 99.3% of the time. That has nothing to do with it. This is about making sure that even if you're the president, you don't get favorable terms from the government, like protections from audits

The GOP swears they’d “never cut” Social Security, but Sen. Mike Lee is on tape saying he wants to pull it “up by the roots and get rid of it entirely.” It’s always been THE PLAN. Believe what they say when they think we’re not listening. VOTE—your life depends on it. #HandsOffSocialSecurity

Here's a weird take and i want to get feedback from others. Our Country defines itself as The "United States". the use of the term "America" seems to increasingly be a polarized moniker for a jingoistic nationalism campaign. what do you think? how do you identify our nation?

Georgia Power is using eminent domain on 330+ properties for power lines linked to Project Sail, a massive 829-acre data center campus. They claim it’s for grid strength, but we must unite to stop these mass surveillance centers & save our future.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

There are more democrats in Texas than there are in Massachusetts

Mark Meadows claimed that more people voted for Trump in California in than any other state. California does have the largest population of any state at 39 million but Meadows was spewing nonsense. I provide receipts.

Rant coming: the conservative movement cannot move its policies without a built up straw-man enemy to attack. The immigrant, the trans-youth, the Muslim, the OUTSIDER, you and me, et al. all of these scapegoats have lived beside you and have contributed to the the society in which they live.

The GQP is happy to make working families suffer and toil so that their donors can pay less. Meanwhile they push patriotism as a means to make our sons and daughters fight for foreign interests that line only the pockets of the asset class.

We have all seen this to be true. After decades of their rhetoric, the populace has grown immune to their threats and have suddenly become increasingly aware that the real threats are the zealots who are currently in office.
