Our government has gone INSANE.

Save this for future reference

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election.

70% of these donations went to Republicans.

Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

There’s a 29% tariff in there on trade with Norfolk Island, which has a population of less than 2200 people. Its permanent civilian population began in the 1850s when descendants of the Bounty mutineers were relocated there from Pitcairn island.

Here’s The Full List Of Trump's Reciprocal Tariffs Announced Wednesday Reciprocal tariffs the U.S. is imposing on other countries will range from a flat 10% rate to 50%, President Donald Trump announced.

We are imposing tariffs on WHOLLY UNINHABITED antarctic islands in this list (Heard and McDonald). The administration asserts—and Forbes reprints this uncritically—those islands have charged 10% tariffs on US goods that it needs to respond to. www.forbes.com/sites/mollyb...

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969.

One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

Jim Banks Tells Fired HHS Worker He 'Deserved It', Calls Him a 'Clown' MAGA just can't hide how much they hate Americans

Details and story: meidasnews.com/news/jim-ban...

Left: Trump complaining about Obama’s executive orders as “major power grabs of authority”

Right: Trump boasting about his record number of executive orders

This is Senator Jim Banks from Indiana. No need to tell you he’s a Republican—it’s clear by the cruel disdain he shows his own constituent who was laid off.

Note: he waits until the door’s about to close before telling him he deserved it & calling him a “clown.”

He’s not just cruel—he’s a coward.

Seizing people and shipping them to a foreign prison without charges or a hearing is not "law and order." It's the opposite of that. It's what a dictatorship looks like.

This POS. Want to stop the chronic disease epidemic?
-Make healthful foods affordable & accessible
-Make cities walkable
-Get everyone vaccinated 'cause you can't fight chronic disease when you're busy fighting infectious disease
-Clean the water & air
-Make every child safe in their home & school

Rage rant about the government admitting they wrongly sent a man to the El Salvador gulag and are not going to do anything about it.

Does this make America great again ???

An ‘Administrative Error’ Sends a Maryland Father to a Salvadoran Prison The Trump administration says it mistakenly deported an immigrant with protected status but that courts are powerless to order his return.

BREAKING: Trump admin says it mistakenly deported a Maryland father who had *withholding of removal* back to El Salvador on March 15. Govt told court Monday it won't bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back. "What.The.Fuck..." one govt attorney told me. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc... @theatlantic.com

That asshole’s admin admitted that it mistakenly deported someone to El Salvador due to an administrative error, and won’t do shit to bring him back.

That kind of “admin error,” means literally anyone who isn’t white could be disappeared into a hell hole for no reason without any recourse.

ANYONE!

"My comment is that according to the court document you apparently didn’t read he was a convicted MS-13 gang member with no legal right to be here. My further comment is that it’s gross to get fired up about gang members getting deported while ignoring citizens they victimize."

JD Vance needs to work on his reading comprehension because the court document says HE WAS NEVER CONVICTED OF BEING A GANG MEMBER and the Trump administration itself admits he was only deported due to an ADMINISTRATIVE ERROR

This is cruelty and incompetence resulting in moral catastrophe.

WHO, I ask you, held the office of American President in 2019????

As of Friday, there have been 46 cases in which federal judges have blocked Trump policies.

The rulings in those cases have come from 39 different judges appointed by 5 different presidents (of both parties) to 11 different district courts across 7 different circuits.

Maybe it's not the judges?

This!

Uh guys? NBC just found out a DHS staffer accidentally added a journalist to an email thread about an ICE raid in Denver. Yeah, a completely separate incident.

THAT staffer is being punished — so why aren’t Hegseth & Waltz???

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

Today's executive order is a frontal assault on workers!

We bled, lost wages, and walked picket lines for workers rights. Trump's attempt to end federal labor unions for his billionaire bosses threatens ALL workers. We will not go back.

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

Mahmoud Khalil's Attorney: ICE Arrest Illegal, Unconstitutional | Opinion If the government can deem certain ideas illegal, our right to free speech becomes conditional. The fight to free Mahmoud Khalil is a fight for all of us.

"If the government is able to deem certain ideas illegal, then our rights to free speech and free thought become conditional. The fight to free Mahmoud Khalil is a fight for all of us." @ccrjustice.org

The cruelty is beyond words.

This is the immigrant taking away American jobs
