Xi respects Putin, the Ayatollah and Kim Jong Un. Trump is desperate to join that esteemed club.

Celebrating Black military service is not β€œDEI woke shit.” It’s essential to America’s defense. The Trump administration has sullied the legacy of soldiers our nation relies on.

The city isn't burning, dipshit. We are being occupied by a federal force.

The level of complicity with what is happening here is insane. No one in Washington realizes the danger this poses to the Republic.

Some Olympic athletes commonsensically and even eloquently distinguish love of country from approval of Trump administration actions that are a blight upon the country.

Trump and MAGA squeal and whine.

Bullies are the most fragile snowflakes.

I have steered so many clear of DOJ over the past year plus and now I usually don’t even need to because nobody wants lawlessness.

Something that would be fascinating to cover, but something I am not personally sourced for, are the arrests of activists or press by federal agents. I did try staking out one activists home, but she was arrested at a hotel instead.

BASH: Is this measles outbreak a consequence of the administration undermining support for vaccines?

DR OZ: I don't believe so. Secretary Kennedy has been advocating for measles vaccines

Striking from Marquette poll:

Majorities of non-college grads and even 50% of rural Americans disapprove of ICE handling of enforcement. Majorities of both oppose deporting longtime residents with jobs/no criminal records.

That's data given to me. 2/
