I have been saying this exact thing. For as long as I can remember, Republicans have fear mongered about communism. Yet when itโ€™s here they rebrand it patriotism.

What happened to this American family has got to be illegal on so many levels.

20 armed men raided their new home, terrorized them and stole all of their money and electronic devices. Since no govt agency will take responsibility they dont know who has their belongs.

Judge Boasberg finds there is probable cause to pursue criminal contempt charges against the Trump administration officials who disobeyed his order to stop the deportation of immigrants to El Salvador

If the Supreme Court covers for them now, it will be a severe blow to democracy for years to come

Trump is going to โ€œinstinctivelyโ€ select certain US companies and exempt them from tariffs.

Donโ€™t overthink it.
Heโ€™s asking for bribes.

Cory Booker is 100% with us:

โ€œWhat other Americans are doing, theyโ€™re not waiting for us in Congress to lead. Theyโ€™ve decided to take matters into their own hands and do something different. Those people were demanding that I catch upโ€”to try and do like theyโ€™re doing.โ€

This is Senator Jim Banks from Indiana. No need to tell you heโ€™s a Republicanโ€”itโ€™s clear by the cruel disdain he shows his own constituent who was laid off.

Note: he waits until the doorโ€™s about to close before telling him he deserved it & calling him a โ€œclown.โ€

Heโ€™s not just cruelโ€”heโ€™s a coward.

Garland failed. Also Mitch McConnell failed when he refused to do his job and remove Trump from office after the second impeachment.

How John Roberts Has Empowered a Lawless Presidency The Chief Justiceโ€™s rebuke of Donald Trump over his calls to impeach judges obscures Robertsโ€™s own role in fostering the destruction in Washington.

โ€œIn his nearly twenty years as Chief Justice, Roberts has espoused a sweeping vision of Presidential authorityโ€”sometimes with language so broad as to make Congress and the courts appear small by comparison.โ€

Wall St futures slip on tariff woes; inflation data on tap U.S. stock index futures were under pressure on Friday as investors grappled with the prospect of more tariffs from President Donald Trump and kept a close eye on a pivotal inflation report due later in the day.

Wall Street tumbles as fresh data fuels inflation fear.

Wall Street stocks ended sharply lower Friday, with selloffs in Amazon, Microsoft and other technology heavyweights, after US data stoked fears of weak economic growth & high inflation due to tariffs.
