Small minds in Kansas. I hope this leads to total extinction of GOP there. They will have deserved it.

Don't take this wrong way, but wonder if there aren't similar feelings about the U.S. 🤷‍♀️

"We really have no choice. We've gotta find a way to take out that corrupt leadership"

Kamala Harris on the SOTU: It was full of lies. And when he wasn’t lying, it reminded me of our kids at show and tell. Some said it was quite boring — the same old, same old: him lying about what he intends to do, what he has done, and about the state of the economy and the world.

The Cuban Embassy says a Florida-registered speedboat entered Cuban waters this morning and allegedly opened fire on Cuban border guards who approached it, injuring the commander of the Cuban vessel. Cuba says four people on the U.S. boat were killed and six others aboard it were injured.

In less than a year, Trump erased 12 years of solvency for the trust fund that pays for Medicare Part A The CBO estimates that benefit reductions would start at 8% in 2040 and steadily climb to a 10% cut by 2056.

The primary culprit ... the One Big Beautiful Bill Act

From @wired.com: “Federal records reveal ICE is secretly expanding into 150+ facilities across nearly every state — many near schools, medical offices, and places of worship… DHS asked the General Services Administration to hide lease listings and bypass normal procedures…”🤔

Attorney General Pam Bondi tells a member of a co-equal branch of government during a public hearing: “You don’t tell me anything, you washed-up loser lawyer.” The disdain for our own government is appalling. This administration is destroying our democracy.

NEW: A page from Bondi's burn book. This is a list of the searches by Rep Jayapal of the unredacted Epstein files. That means the DOJ grabbed her search terms from the computers they set up for members of congress to view the Epstein files to use as ammunition. The photo is from Reuters.

Yesssss. Separate out DHS and shut it down.

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers.

Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024.

And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary.

The system is rigged.

Frey: "In Mpls, we heard them say they'll end this siege when we hand over voter rolls. The DOJ is being used as a weapon. They're investigating me and several other local elected officials not because we've done something wrong because we speak on behalf of our constituents.

This unhinged answer from Cava-Bag-Homan is NOT grounded in facts or truth or reality.

Anyone who told you that things would be "better" with Bovino out and Homan in was delusional.
