Today in Politics Chat, I talked about how power sloshes around when a president is checked out, and noted that right now unelected officials like Stephen Miller are trying to grab it. But instead, We the People can take it back and create a better nation.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

In point: This photo of a pastor getting pepper sprayed.

Religious protesters say ICE threatens religious freedom in Chicago (RNS) — Despite potential danger, religious leaders and faith activists have been a visible presence at Chicago-area ICE protests, some waving signs with slogans such as ‘Love thy neighbor’ and ‘Who w...

Clergy are protesting ICE and getting assaulted. So at least one is suing Noem for violating his religious freedom.

There are a lot of country fans who vote D

Country legend Zach Bryan has released a song that puts country over his own bank account.

The backlash from country fans will be massive- they’ll force him off country radio like they did to the Dixie Chicks but he doesn’t need radio access anymore

American hero 🇺🇸

Tell me again how trans rights are pushing voters away from the Democratic Party? Sounds like misdirection and denial to me. Our leaders need to grow up and realize that the vast majority of the country *wants* progressive policies.

THANK YOU. I am glad someone finally said that 🤣

Pam Bondi’s defensive attacks against Senate Democrats questioning her was not the flex she thinks it was. All it did was vividly point out how she has abandoned Justice Dept. independence to serve the desires of her authoritarian boss.

Alabama sheriff under fire for Halloween display with ‘ICE’ agents chasing skeletons wearing sombreros The controversial display shows ICE agent skeletons chasing figures in sombreros, which the sheriff's wife defends as "tongue-in-cheek" while citing her own Cuban heritage.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

🤣

If Marge gets it, then other republicans should absolutely get it. 😕

It’s funny how they go on and on about trans healthcare and puberty blockers. I’m like got news for you! That birth control your wife takes is a hormone blocker!

House Republicans haven't shown up to work in 18 days. But if they do decide to show up—I have a message for them.

3/4s of the families that rely on the expiring health care credits that you refuse to acknowledge live in red states.

Time to show up and do your jobs.

This image was posted on X today by a Chicago Tribune reporter. Trump’s government has declared war on the American people — or some of them, based on race.

Yeah, you’d think someone who’s been sued and has sued so many times is familiar with the discovery phase.

The article is about a supposed trans agenda on the left. There isn’t one. Just like there’s no gay agenda.

That’s the agenda on the right, not the left.

ICE will reportedly hire contractors to surveil social media platforms 24/7 to target people for deportations.

The information would then be funneled into an existing ICE database built by Palantir (founded by Trump ally Peter Thiel).

"The party of small government,” folks.

81% of Americans believe Trump is covering up unsavory personal details in the Epstein files

And today, Pam Bondi confirmed that once again

#ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles

There is no trans rights agenda other than just hey why don’t we leave them alone.

Don’t let the door hit you in the ass Curtis!

🤣🤣🤣

It will massively backfire on the regime if they try to “reinterpret” this law.

It’s also funny because Charlie Kirk’s murderer isn’t a leftist.

Statement from Ken Paxton

This is straight from the fascist playbook. It will ceate fear and mistrust among Democratic groups in Texas and it is ultimately designed to suppress votes.

Immigration agents become increasingly aggressive in Chicago Activists, residents and elected leaders say increasingly combative tactics used by federal immigration agents are sparking violence and fueling neighborhood tensions in the nation’s third-largest cit...

The scenes out of Chicago should outrage us all. These federal agents are out of control, committing senseless acts of violence & putting everyone at risk.
 
American citizens are being detained & brutalized.
 
This kind of immigration "enforcement" shouldn't be acceptable to anyone.
