A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

KLOBUCHAR: Are you aware agents bashed in the door of a citizen?

NOEM: I can't speak to specifics

K: Do you believe he was involved in fraud? Are you aware he's son of a beloved nurse that treated our soldiers in Vietnam? Did they have a judicial warrant? Are you aware he tried to show his ID?

BLUMENTHAL: Have you met with any of the American citizens who have been detained or arrested by your agents?

NOEM: They could've been instructing law enforcemen--

BLUMENTHAL: You haven't met with them. I'd like to introduce you to 3 of them. Will you please stand?

No child deserves to die for old men’s war‼️
Those poor babies‼️

Trump’s FCC pressured CBS into not airing Stephen Colbert’s interview of James Talarico.

Here it is on YouTube. Worth watching.

The Terrible Noises Outside History Doesn’t Repeat. It Rhymes in Real Time.

As corporations shell out big bucks for Super Bowl commercials, remember that many have said they were forced to raise prices due to inflation.

Also remember that profit margins in nearly every sector in the S&P 500 are running near or above 10-year highs.

Hello???

This lawless administration is now operating under the “what are you gonna do about it” doctrine. A John Roberts creation.

Heartbroken. How is this who we are?

This is really something. Mark Warner, one of the more moderate and cautious senators in the Dem caucus, says he'll vote No on ICE funding:

Reminder: ICE’s budget has not been renewed — the House voted, but not the Senate — It will take 10 Democratic votes to stop it

From the minnesota community on Reddit: Another closer angle showing him trying to protect other protesters Explore this post and more from the minnesota community

In this video, it appears Alex Pretti is trying to protect another protester from being assaulted by federal agents when he is sprayed in the face with some kind of substance and then shot to death:

Alex Pretti, smiling

The man murdered by ICE in Minneapolis, Minnesota while he bravely shielded women from being brutally attacked by Trump regime thugs has been identified as Alex Pretti.

He was a US citizen, a registered nurse, an athlete, a son, a brother, and a hero. The regime murdered him. #3E #GoodVsEvil

His 6 month old stopped breathing!

HIS SIX MONTH OLD STOPPED BREATHING!

A father was getting his kids out of the neighborhood because it was unsafe & ICE threw flash bangs & tear gas at his car with children & a baby inside!

His 6 month old stopped breathing & all the children were hospitalized!

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.

If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

If Marjorie Taylor Greene *really* cared about the Epstein victims, she would read the names of the perpetrators on the House floor (where she would have immunity) before she leaves office.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

LMAO McGovern is on fire right now 🔥🔥🔥

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported?

NOEM: We haven't deported veterans

MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

Jared Kushner is part of Paramount's hostile bid for Warner Bros. Discovery Paramount is telling WBD shareholders that it has a smoother path to regulatory approval than does Netflix.

Jared Kushner's involvement was "not mentioned in Paramount's press release on Monday morning about its $108 billion bid, nor were participating sovereign wealth funds from Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi and Qatar."

fancy that

A reminder to a nation with way too many people untethered to facts and truth: There’s no such thing as “The Department of War.” It doesn’t exist. Only Congress has the power to create and name executive departments & agencies. So it’s still The Department of Defense.

Thanks

Since 2000, political donations from the richest 100 Americans have increased nearly 140x.

They collectively spent over $1B in 2024, amounting to 1 in every 13 dollars spent during the election.

Is it any wonder why so many regular people feel like they no longer have a voice?

Great news that the Senate has passed the bill forcing the DOJ to release its Epstein file. Now Bondi must comply. But our work cannot stop there. We need to force the Treasury to release the Epstein bank records too. I have a bill to make that happen. FOLLOW THE MONEY.
