Police who would quit in advance of a new mayor are exactly the ones who shouldn’t be police in the first place. No loss.

The Dem donors are putting the pressure on them. It’s certainly not the voters.

Good grief. This administration is so soft on crime.

I think these images of Halloween 2025 are going to stick with Americans for a long time to come. Trump's party with women in oversized champagne glasses & out of control federal agents drawing guns on the people of Chicago. I wrote about the split screen here: open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...

No, America isn’t a fascist state…yet. But think how fast this has all happened. Ten months instead of ten years. There’s a non zero chance it could happen. So we must all be alert and not let it happen.

The more I see this photo, the more I am just amazed by it. It’s a perfect symbol of all that is happening.

Lawless goons. Racial profiling isn’t just something they do, it’s all they do.

A 90% top tax bracket would take care of this. Inequality was much less when the higher tax brackets discouraged these obscene salaries.

β€œThe affordability β€œ. As though it were a thing you could touch. I don’t see how we can make it for three more years with this man.

As @GovBillLee Speaker Sexton & @MarshaBlackburn lie about the numbers in MEMPHIS (the occupiers are mostly arresting non-criminals), Black folks are being harassed and targeted and say they don’t feel safe.

The prosecution has a point. Government can’t accept it’s ok to attack officers. Where do you draw the line? If you draw it, will people always step up to that line? OTOH, it’s a sandwich!!!

How about having an investigation on SCOTUS for decisions that are outside the constitution?

I was commenting on your repost. I just get frustrated how every politician β€œhas to”swear allegiance to Israel. I care about antisemitism in the US and want my politicians to feel the same. No evidence that Mamdani feels differently.

Sen. Ruben Gallego: "Family members of mine are sending their kids to school with their passportsβ€”these are U.S. born kids. My Godson, my Goddaughters, they feel like they can't walk around safely in a U.S. cityβ€”even though they were born here and are third generation Americans."
