You don’t know who we just disappeared to El Salvador. Think about that.

You might want to ask an elementary school student to review your writing before you humiliate yourself posting for all to see, "Your a moron." LOL. That said, I'm glad you like AOC. I think she is wonderful! We are on the same side, silly!

Do you have data to back that up? Libertarian friend posted The Economists' claim that β€œProgressives are...reckoning with refutation [that] identity politics and expansive state spending would galvanise America’s proletariat." + Gallup poll that Dems want the party to be more moderate. Need counter.

I understand your anger. I do wonder, however, if Schumer's argument that if the govn were shut down that it would have further enabled Musk/Trump. This argument seemed to come out of nowhere, and I have not seen anyone check the veracity of the claim. Was it a real threat or not?

BREAKING: Senate just UNANIMOUSLY restored $1.1 billion for DC local govt that was eliminated

Why?

Because Senators of BOTH parties work in DC - and most have homes there - and none of them want to be in a hellhole

Now - try applying that same logic to THE REST OF THE COUNTRY

White House Admits Why Mahmoud Khalil Was Really Arrested Donald Trump’s administration has revealed the terrifying reason it really targeted a protester over Palestine.

Pro-Palestine activist and legal U.S. resident Mahmoud Khalil wasn’t arrested by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for committing an actual crime, but because Secretary of State Marco Rubio had personally determined that he had to go.

(And of course WE TOLD THEM, but again: They can't be told. They have to have it happen to them. Even then there's a fair chance they'll just dig in deeper. It's hard to admit you've been conned. Even harder to admit that you were told and on some level knew you were being conned, and went along.)

Exclusive: Judges face rise in threats as Musk blasts them over rulings U.S. Marshals have warned federal judges of unusually high threat levels as tech billionaire Elon Musk and other Trump administration allies ramp up efforts to discredit judges who stand in the way of White House efforts to slash federal jobs and programs, said several judges with knowledge of the warnings.

Musk and Republican lawmakers have described judges as threats to democracy, turning the role of the federal judiciary on its head. ''The only way to restore rule of the people in America is to impeach judges,'' Musk wrote. β€œNo one is above the law, including judges.”

Trump administration tells federal agencies to make plans for large-scale layoffs of workers This comes after thousands of federal workers have already been fired over the last few weeks.

β€œMaking America Unemployed Again” was not on the campaign hats.

The Trump admin is slashing federal jobs like it’s a clearance sale. Veterans? IRS? CDC? No one’s safe. And they’re even using an AI to do the dirty work.

That's really outrageous. The whole purpose of the independence of regulatory agencies is so that Presidents DO NOT interfere with their functioning! He can't simply say, "oh. I don't like that. I'm changing that."
