Elon Musk once said he would pursue former Twitter execs to the ends of the earth. Instead, he just settled their $128 million lawsuit. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Support our campaign to oppose MAGA extremists

A former exec at Trump's Atlantic City casino told CNN that Epstein & Trump brought three under-21 girls to the gambling floor.

Of course, Trump's White House calls it fabricated.

Lying liars lie.

Check on the Veterans. Many of them lost spouses, limbs, brain functions, and got nothing other than battle wounds and PTSD as they fought for our civil rights while they defended our Democracy. And now America is spitting in there face as they yank it all away and step on the neck of Democracy.

When you use the social contract as kindling for a fascist bonfire on which you intend to reduce American democracy to ash, you no longer get to benefit from the provisions of it.

Noem in particular needs to be fully immersed in her new "persona non-grata" reality in communities across America.

this is infuriating! The people doing this and deciding to do this would never accept being treated this way! Detaining a building of people for hours in zip ties for hours in the middle of the night is complete bs. forcing kids in night clothing outside in the middle of the night, so wrong!

There are also a lot of white people who will tell you they are โ€œnot racistโ€.

Thatโ€™s a weak response.

It gives them an out. They may not be racist, but they havenโ€™t said they are against racist systems and laws.

Thatโ€™s the โ€Iโ€™m just sitting on the sidelinesโ€ response.

I call them out on it.

He's absolutely correct. This is not a both sides thing, this is a right wing domestic terrorism inspired and encouraged by the leader of the republican party and amplified by all of its members thing.

It seems bad that the U.S. dollar has lost over 10% of its value since Trump took office. Maybe the president should do something about that?

Republican loyalists regularly make a mockery of House and senate hearings by refusing to answer or mounting personal attacks on whoever questions them whenever they are called to testify before Congress - and the media always blames the Democrats for it.

The Republicans' government shutdown means thousands of FAA employees are furloughed, while our air traffic controllers and TSA agents are forced to work without pay.

Those traveling for ACL Weekend 2 or F1 can expect longer wait times, delays, and possible ground stops.
