Only in the Federalist Society academic bubble could you say that the government going in and splitting up geographically contiguous communities of Black voters in order to prevent them from ever being a majority in any House district is "government not taking race into account."

16% of Republicans think Trump should be king of the US and another 9% aren't sure.

WTF?

And who the hell are the 3% of democrats that want Trump to be crowned?

What planet are we on??

Watch this to see a fine example of the men terrorizing our communities (ICE).

He's driving drunk with his kids in the car and doesn't think he should have to face the consequences.

"Come on, guys. Are we really doing this?" He said this to the police.

Yes. They were.

Head of the U.S. Military’s Southern Command Is Stepping Down, Officials Say

“At a moment when U.S. forces are building up across the Caribbean and tensions with Venezuela are at a boiling point, the departure of our top military commander in the region sends an alarming signal of instability within the chain of command...”

Remember when this was just “one narco-terrorist boat”? Now it’s multiple strikes, foreign nationals dead, and no oversight. At what point will Congress demand answers from this Administration?

This guy was supposed to be the "moderate GOP" from PA.

There are no moderates. He voted "yes" on every incompetent cabinet nominee, and now he's complaining about "the left" encouraging violence by calling the GOP "fascists."

Stop acting like fascists and we'll stop calling you fascists, deal?

Fucking insanity.

It was time a long time ago.

It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin.

Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed.

Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

I have read the Bolton indictment. I am thoroughly unimpressed by these allegations. If this manages to make it to trial and a conviction, DOJ just opened a Pandora’s Box for future Administrations to go all out after all senior officials’ handwritten notes every time there is a change in power.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Idiocracy is in full effect.

He's also talking percentages when what he really means in births.

Also not Hamas or Marxist.

Antifa? For sure.
Isn't everyone?

Isn't the fact that without the VRA, southern states will gerrymander to eliminate more than 20 seats currently held by minorities, the VERY REASON it should still be in effect?

Isn't this lovely of the regime? They moved up the deadline for the new work requirements, originally Feb 26, to
Nov 25.

Of course, there is no mechanism to track work hours so people will lose benefits because the SNAP systems aren't updated.

Fuck them.

🇺🇸 “A former US Marine Corps colonel and combat veteran said after 24 years of service he “resigned from the military because of Trump”, citing Trump’s contempt for the constitution… He urged other military personnel to reflect on their own positions.” apple.news/AnvauFUw-R32...

To be clear — although they aren’t officially saying why he is stepping down… Admiral Holsey had reportedly “raised concerns” about Trump/Hegseth blowing up boats in international waters they claimed had drugs on them

Imagine lying as easily as @RepTimBurchett does. Nobody is paying the millions of people who will be out there.

Wanting better for your country isn’t hating it, Tim. Quite the opposite. It’s real patriotism. 🇺🇸

Throwing out the constitution to cling to power is the real hating your country.
