Go to Major Events and see what they've included: Clinton Scandal, Hunter Biden cracked out, Barack Obama as a Muslim and a Trans Day of Visibility with Biden.

Guess their fans will love the 'own the libs' vibe.

BREAKING: A federal appeals court held the Trump administration could take control over 200 members of the Oregon National Guard, despite the governor's objections.

Peaceful protest, inflatable animal costumes, and bike rides are not a reason to send American troops into our communities.

It’s beyond pathetic. The mainstream media, on the whole, is comprised of feckless cowards and shameless hypocrites.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

BREAKING: A court ordered the Department of Defense to stop censoring educational materials discussing race and gender in schools on military bases.

Books removed from the schools must be returned to the shelves immediately.

Column | ICE detainees face greater risk from extreme heat than most prisoners A Washington Post analysis found that ICE detention centers experience an average of 29 days of dangerous heat per year.

People in ICE detention face extreme heat risks in conditions with poor ventilation β€” this will only worsen as the Trump administration works to nearly double its detention capacity.

The hottest 10% of ICE facilities see an average of 93 days of dangerous heat per year. This is unconscionable.

winning one four year term shouldn't allow you to literally destroy THE PEOPLE's history; the people's house.

Rachel Maddow is literally rattling off every city and state that had a No Kings protest against Trump and his fascist authoritarian regime. The list is unbelievably long, including a shitload of red states. She's a half hour into her show and still going. πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ™ŒπŸ’ͺπŸ‘βœŠ

Damn... This was really brave and perfectly executed. The way you guys planted multiple people all around the room and spoke up one at a time overwhelmed their security. This was brilliant. I respect it.πŸ’™πŸ‘πŸ˜Ž

Two days ago, he took a shit on the American people. Today, he began demolishing the People’s House. That’s all he does. He shits on people, and he destroys things. Bcuz he’s a horrible person. I blame him a lot for the death & destruction he’s caused. I blame his enablers & his appeasers even more.

Trump Halts Billions in Grants for Democratic Districts During Shutdown The Trump administration has frozen or canceled nearly $28 billion primarily located in Democratic-led districts, according to an analysis by The New York Times.

Vindictive, despicable man who took an oath to be the President of all Americans; but clearly he doesn't have any intention of doing that.

So basically he is trying to import Nazis and white supremacists faster than the far right is creating them here.

MAGA Mike’s plaque denial isn’t just stubbornnessβ€”it's a tactic. The Anti‑MAGA guide teaches how to use that very defiance as a bait, framing it as betrayal so the crowd feels the crack. Ready to see the strategy in action?

Peter Thiel is coming out with a 4-part series about identifying the antichrist.

Like we need a 4-part series. We're in America. Pretty sure we already know the signs.

This fabulous lady breaks it down into 4 points. In under 3 minutes.

Sometimes you just need to march and chant and yell in solidarity with several thousand people who are just as angry and defiant as you are until your reservoir of hope is refilled #NoKings
