Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

BTW for maga, it was never about pedophiles. It was about hating fellow Americans and the pedophile charge was a convenient way to put a moral mask on that.

The second Trump failed to release the files, because he’s in them, they defended him.

Mask is off

What a cynically presented premise. A man with almost no power was killed by police, the enforcement arm of the people. A rich political speaker with a lot of power was murdered by a deranged lone gunman. This "both sides" pandering is false and detracts from the very real problems to solve

Ellison and Murdoch don't need to interfere with all posts on TikTok to have a an oversize impact on its users. It was never about the Chinese influence, but about bringing that influence operation home under the conservatives media machine's control.

Paranoia (the game) inspired? Maybe having your secret society discuss your previously undiscovered mutant powers? Middling seems to indicate you're all Green clearance, I'd get started on that promotion plan to Blue, Citizen :)

They are so weak they have to resort to silencing you. Do not be quiet… they have no power, and the weak little boy Donald withers when challenged every time

The Paranoid Presidency: Inside Trump’s Government by Conspiracy From the “asbestos con” to vaccine rollbacks, paranoia drives White House decisions.

From asbestos to stolen elections, Trump has spent decades turning conspiracy theories into government policy—eroding trust and warping U.S. institutions. Here’s how the paranoid style became the Trump style.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

Who Really Controls the National Guard? The Second Amendment Debate We’ve Ignored America’s state militias were meant as a check on tyranny. Now they can be federalized at will.

The Second Amendment wasn’t written for executive orders and barbed wire around the Capitol—it was written to ensure a well-regulated militia that answers to the people and their states. Today, that balance is being pulled apart. My latest:

Trump and his cronies are cutting taxes for the wealthy and cutting support for the poor in the latest budget bill. All while further raising deficits. A lose lose for all Americans except for the Trump family and their cronies.
