Let’s talk about the people in Mike Johnson's district who'll have to pay $16,000 more a year for health care if he gets his way.

Just so the richest people on earth can get tax breaks.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

If you drive a 2025/2026 Tesla or still use X, there really isn't an excuse. You really are just an asshole that looks the other way.

Attention: The U.S. is no longer rated a β€œfull democracy” by many indexes. It is often classified as a β€œflawed democracy” or β€œelectoral democracy with deficits.”

The House of Representatives has not held a vote since September 19th to avoid releasing the Epstein records. My opponent Ann Wagner hasn’t said thing about any of it. Enjoying her free vacation while the government is shut down.

Donny and Pete bombed so badly with the Generals this week they had to blow up another fishing boat just to feel better about themselves.

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

They’re not acting like they’re in a four-year term.

They’re acting like they’re in an everlasting dictatorship.

Are we all clear on this?

If ICE agents are proud of what they're doing, then why do they cover their faces like cowards, refuse to identify themselves, and hide behind anonymity?

Referring to the abuse visited upon over a thousand girls as a β€œred herring” is nasty work, you asshole.

I’ve said it before, but chatbot user interfaces that pretend to be human or human-like need to be banned.

It’s a deceitful, dehumanizing and deeply unethical scam.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.

Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.

Our duty is to stand up to brutality.

Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.
