Other countries tax their billionaires to help its citizens. Republicans in our country believe it’s better to take away healthcare & other life-saving services, your hard earned benefits & take away regulations that keep you safe & healthy. All this & more to give to our billionaires

📌The President of the United States posted a FAKE VIDEO TO THE WORLD of a kneeling Barack Obama being placed in handcuffs, and we are supposed go along like it is just another day.
Our press has so completely lost the thread it would be laughable if it wasn't so damn dangerous and disgusting.

Should ICE Agents Be Allowed to Wear Masks? It Depends Whom You Ask. Los Angeles’s mayor said Sunday that masked immigration agents helped create a “reign of terror.” ICE’s director said agents could wear masks to “keep them and their families safe.”

There's a lot we still don’t know about Jeffrey Epstein Amid the conspiracy theories, the totality of Epstein’s crimes—and how he made his fortune—is still a disturbing mystery.

For years, there have been loose ends, unanswered questions, unreleased documents, and an endless amount of fodder for future conspiracy theories bit.ly/4117Cre

The votes of Senate Republicans on the Judiciary Committee are simply shameful. While a President should be given some measure of deference in their appointments-even life time appointments-advice and consent does not mean rubber stamp. This man has no business being anywhere near the federal bench

Fun fact: Chris Wright is former CEO of oil company Liberty Energy and ex-director of oil & gas lobby group Western Energy Alliance.

Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gives ICE more cops than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries. Once the bill is fully implemented, nowhere in America will be safe from Trump's secret police state.

There we go

As Floods Hit, Key Roles Were Vacant at Weather Service Offices in Texas

There were a lot of folks here insisting yesterday that weather service cuts had no impact on Texas flood deaths. There’s zero way you can draw conclusions like hours later. Important follow up here. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/u...

Step 1: cut the National Weather Service, FEMA and other agencies

Step 2: pray when people die

Grok is no longer woke.

I received this email from the SSA as well. It is a complete lie. Social Security income is still taxed — the Big, Ugly Bill did NOTHING to change that.

Welcome to 1984, folks.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

If someone doesn’t ask Karoline Leavitt why she posted on social media that this bill includes no taxes on Social Security when she knows it is a lie and she intentionally lied to the American people, everyone in the room should lose their jobs.

As we knew it was going to happen, like clockwork, they're now saying they're going to prioritize denaturalizing citizens. We knew that was what they were working towards and that they are not going to stop there. Being quiet, seeing how far they will go is not an option.

This is not normal

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.

Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".

Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

Kristi Noem Secretly Took a Cut of Political Donations A dark money group paid $80,000 to Noem’s personal company when she was governor of South Dakota. She did not include this income on her federal disclosure forms, a likely violation of ethics…

NEW: Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

Call Blackburn & Hagerty and make them know you know

I have literally never seen a graph like this once in all my years of being an election sicko

18-24 always lags, always, it’s just a natural law of politics

and this is the guy they want to throw out of the party?!

If you haven't followed, SCOTUS would allow Trump to take a young British woman who overstayed a tourist visa and hand her over to North Korea, the Taliban, or Somalia with no opportunity to object or even to know where she's going. Death sentence.

Tomorrow is ours if we want it.

Come on, people. Have you no decency? Whose idea was it to glitter bomb ICE?

Get your war on 1 #1 A three panel comic showing a white clipart business man having a phone conversation with a Black clipart businessman sitting at a computer. Panel 1: White man says "Oh yeah! Operation Enduring Freedom is in the house" Panel 2: Black man says "Oh yeah! Operation Enduring Our Freedom is in the motherfucking house! Panel 3: White man says "Yes! Operation: Enduring Our Freedom to Bomb the Living Fuck Out of You is in the house!!!

There is actually a very accurate historical document of the post-9/11 vibes.

But NYT has decided this is just not newsworthy.

I haven’t seen nearly enough people talking about this.

The levels of greed and inhumane thinking on display is actually terrifying.

America really is dystopian as fuck.

Photos of anti-Trump 'No Kings' demonstrations across the US Demonstrators gathered in parks and plazas across the U.S. to protest against President Donald Trump.

Massive, almost entirely peaceful protests took place yesterday across the country, giving photojournalists unprecedented opportunity to capture images of American democracy. And yet over a third of the images in the AP photo gallery is violence.

Worth bearing in mind that illegal entry is a misdemeanor and being unlawfully present in the country is not even a criminal offense, but a civil one. This is the equivalent of saying we need to torch the Constitution & send in the SWAT team to catch jaywalkers & people with overdue library books.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨

A massive crowd is gathering in DC demanding that SEIU CA President David Huerta be freed.
