It's frightening how quickly and easily people forget the lessons of kindness and friendship from their youth.

Leavitt Blows Up Over Claims Trump's Imposing Martial Law The White House pushed back on criticism of the administration’s attempt to send the military into U.S. cities.

If Donald Trump was really what MAGA considers an "alpha" he wouldn't be making excuses and trying to cover stuff up, he'd just outright say "Yes, I'm trying to take over Democrat cities by force" and not have his woman (Leavitt) covering up for him.

No, Maine's governor didn't say state would stop paying federal taxes Gov. Janet Mills released two statements addressing President Donald Trump's threat to withhold federal funding, but neither mentioned federal taxes.

As others have said this is FALSE.

U.S. Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva won her election two weeks ago. Republicans refuse to seat her in Congress.

Facebook post from an unknown person. The post has a picture of a bell curve with the statement "Results. Your IQ is 80. Your IQ is in the top 90.88%"

The person says "At 65 years of age I'm still scoring in the top 90%. This is what's possible if you don't vaccinate away your brain cells folks."

"Trump threatens to invoke Insurrection Act in Portland"

This was always the plan. No need to admonish people for protesting too much, or the wrong way, or anything.

This was always the plan. No matter what.

Thinking about it a bit, I think perhaps the main, simplified, difference between Left and Right is how big the group is that you consider family-equivalent.

Shooting involving federal agents in Brighton Park under investigation According to the Department of Homeland Security, a woman allegedly "boxed in" federal authorities, who opened fire.

ICE reportedly opened fire on rapid responders on the southwest side this afternoon.

There are *very few* details on this available at this time. Treat all rumors with caution until verified.

This Sun-Times article cites a DHS statement that should be treated, as always, with extreme skepticism:

J.D. Vance Defends False Claims Against Haitians: 'If I Have to Create Stories… That's What I'm Going to Do' J.D. Vance defended his debunked claims that Haitian immigrants are eating pets in Springfield, Ohio.

β€˜If I Have to Create Stories… That’s What I’m Going to Do’

There should never even be a question about whether this guy is trustworthy. He's just plain not.

And what happens? He wins?

β€œThey Took Everyone”: ICE Raids 75th Street Apartment, Detains Migrants and U.S. Citizens Alike

ICE is breaking in to homes without a warrant and detaining everyone.

This is it. Those sworn to defend the Constitution have made it meaningless, and there's no one left to defend it.

There's also quite the difference between God's Wrath and Man's Wrath.

Not to mention that God didn't even want the Israelites to have a flippin' king!

Yikes, I didn't know that, that's crazy.

That's incredibly awful, but I still wouldn't support the government shutting him down. The people should, absolutely. But not the gov't.

Also, we're not really dealing with conventional thinking (on the part of Republican voters), so I say it's not terrible, but it may be completely useless.

Honestly, I'm a bit surprised they are fighting at all.

The whole strategy seems to be roll over and let the Republicans do whatever they want and reap what they sow.

Which, technically, is not a terrible strategy if there's going to be a country left afterwards.
