I had no idea Watters is this evil and terrible. No wonder half of our country is lost and deranged.

Boy it sure seems like they passed the Big Beautiful Bill to mostly help out a certain group of people. I can't put my finger on it, but...

We will not just let Californians in need go hungry.

The lack of empathy for others is disgraceful!

A D.C. task force shot at a driver. It’s not in the police report. Neither D.C. police nor the Department of Homeland Security have explained why the Homeland Security agent fired his weapon.

WILD story. A DHS officer shot at a man he thought was fleeing (a judge dismissed all charges). Bullets went into the driver's side window, through his jacket collar, and into the empty passenger seat. An MPD cop on the scene says he was ordered not to put it in the police report.

Lights are on but nobody is home.

He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why.

He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical.

He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it.

How is any of this ok?

This is so fucked up.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
