Not every issue in our politics needs to be shirts and skins. Republicans donβt need to automatically be against everything Democrats stand for. We could decide together that no president should ever arrest a political opponent for free speech.

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

Ending this operation is not enough.
We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

After nearly 9 decades of tracking presidential approval ratings, Gallup has decided to end their poll measuring following threats from the orange felon after showing his historically low approval ratings.

The Epstein Cover-up Must End
Trump knows more than he has ever let on
Bondi and Blanche should not be practicing law, let alone serving in highest ranks of govt. Those unwilling to pursue justice for Epsteinβs survivors and boot out predators, those who facilitated or normalized his crimes, and those who lied or covered up for them, do not deserve to hold power β ever

Everyone is talking about how Crockett dunked on Bondi. Fine. But what most are missing: An AG who continues to fail to uphold the rule of law, and whose corruption keeps getting thrown back in her face, is an AG who should be removed.

Attorney General Pam Bondi tells a member of a co-equal branch of government during a public hearing: βYou donβt tell me anything, you washed-up loser lawyer.β The disdain for our own government is appalling. This administration is destroying our democracy.

So, to wrap up today's insanity:
President Trump, who is deeply implicated in a pedophilia scandal involving his best friend, the sex trafficker, sent Attorney General Bondi -- who only has that job because Trump's first choice was also implicated in a separate pedophilia scandal -- to the House...

So DOD risked civilian airspace to obliterate some fucking balloons; when FAA found out and asked them to stop they refused; FAA did what it had to keep people safe; when the public rightly freaked out, DOD relented, lied, and blamed the FAA.
Sounds like Hegseth!
