That which does not kill me makes me stranger. (Not a typo. 😊) Lifelong Democrat. Facts matter. Sometimes I'm grumpy.

Fox demanded normal folks be fired from their jobs for not appropriately mourning the death of Charlie Kirk, but has no plans to fire Mark Sanchez after he brutally attacked a 69yo man. That's MAGA for you.

They’ve all learned from Trump to be a dishonest, nasty, cruel asshole just like him. They’ve all learned to imitate their cult leader.

CBS reports ICE agents have repeatedly made fake 911 calls. Each time, police found no threat. In Illinois, that’s a felony.

ICE closes detention oversight group in shutdown despite surge in detainees The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s entire Office of Detention Oversight has been placed on furlough, despite surging numbers of detainees.

ICE has kept most offices open during the administration’s shutdownβ€”β€œbut not the one inspecting detention centers.”

Because of course.

Marjorie Taylor Greene calls Obamacare β€œunaffordable,” yet admits killing its subsidies will double premiums. In other words: repeal what you hate, and watch it get twice as bad. Even her rant accidentally proves the ACA works.

Did Tom Homan keep the $50,000?

Pam Bondi may be covering up the facts.

This is more corruption that costs taxpayers money, while the politically connected get away with crimes.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Federal workers not entitled to back pay after shutdown, budget office claims Federal workers may not be entitled to back pay after the government shutdown ends, the Trump administration’s budget office wrote in a new draft memo obtained by The Washington Post, ratcheting up te...

Let me be clear: backpay for these workers is required under a federal law I wrote with former Senator Cardin β€” which Trump signed β€” during the last Trump shutdown.

This is just more fear mongering from a president who wants a blank check for lawlessness. It won't work.
