Strange that the US is invading DC. It doesn’t even have any oil.

Hulk Hogan is so MAGA that he literally died to try and distract from the Epstein List.

I can assure you that if Trump actually arrested and put Obama in prison, the riots in this country would never end.

Senator Durbin said FBI agents were told to β€˜flag’ any Epstein records that mentioned Trump, which is a strange thing to do to hoax files, that don't exist, that you aren't involved with.

Really quite impressive how the people who are the most angry about cancel culture are the same people celebrating Stephen Colbert's show getting canceled.

We see it. Anyone who's ever written a joke that made someone in power sweat sees it. The message is loud and clear: if you upset the wrong person, you are expendable. Even if you're beloved. Even if you're number one.

Colbert losing his show isn't just a cancellation. It's a warning shot.

Trump is gaslighting about Epstein, but the problem is that gas prices are too high now.

Nobody’s buying it anymore.

These are not strays.

Beloved pets are heading to L.A. shelters as families face deportation. They need new fosters and forever homes.

And Superman's home planet was destroyed.

He's not just an immigrant. He's a refugee.

Red, White, and Screwed Celebrating Freedom While Congress Sells Off Your Future

The bill makes permanent the 2017 tax cuts that overwhelmingly benefit the wealthy. It slashes Medicaid, kneecaps clean energy, and saddles our children with an additional $3 trillion in debt.

So yeah. Happy birthday, America.

Subtle reminder that this is still up on the official White House website:

This bill gives ICE more funding than the US Marines.

Our tax dollars are paying for domestic terrorists.

He was billions in debt and now he plans to raise the deficit by trillions.

He didn’t pay contractors and now he closed USAID and left nonprofits holding the bag.

He wouldn’t let black people in his apartments and now he is trying to keep minorities out of the country.

He showed you who he is.

Trump’s border czar Tom Homan said he has received so much hate for his positions on immigration that he’s unable to live safely with his family.

I mean, if he doesn’t like it here, maybe he should leave.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It β€˜s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

If Mamdani freezes rents, landlords will have no motivation to fix all the things they were never going to fix before he froze the rents.

It’s not hyperbole to say the greatest threat to the United States isn’t Iran, China, or Russia.

The greatest threat to the United States is the United States.

If I’m reading this Supreme Court decision correctly, every state basically has their own interpretation of the Constitution that can’t be enforced in any other state.

The β€œUnited” States had a good run.

It starts with revoking birthright citizenship.

It ends with kids learning what a β€œstateless person” is as Nazis drag them away.

Congress must act. Reclaim your power. Remind the executive branch that being β€œCommander in Chief” doesn’t make you Caesar.

Yes, Trump is a problem, but the bigger problem is the fortress Congress has built around the presidency.

Tear it down, or get ready to live in the rubble.

Trump before the election: β€œIf elected president, I’ll get gas prices under $2 a gallon.”

Current national average: $3.22 a gallon

Let's see what happens now that he's started a war in Iran.

Who are the agents here? How do we know?

The least ICE agents could do is put on the same red hats they wore when they stormed the capitol.

The real story isn't Brad Lander's arrest, but what it revealed:

In Trump's America, decency is obstruction.

Lander did not resist arrest. He resisted human erasure.

The one thing that won’t be erased is how this will be written about in history books. And whether we continued to let it happen.

Feds are not charging Vance Boelter with domestic terrorism.

To summarize:

Spray painting a Tesla - Terrorism

Writing out a list of targets and slaughtering Democrats in their homes - Not Terrorism

It’s truly astounding that Conservatives hear that the murderer had a β€œNo Kings” flyer in his car and they think it means he’s liberal instead of the very obvious reality that he had the flyer because he was targeting the protests, too.
