Only a strong and powerful leader like Trump can bring this war ravaged city back from the brink of destruction and anarchy.

Mike Johnson only wants Lee Greenwood to perform the halftime show at the Super Bowl because Lawrence Welk is dead and therefore unavailable.

Republican Crumbles After Being Backed Into Corner Over Epstein (The Daily Beast) CNN's Kaitlan Collins left Jim Jordan flustered after grilling him over delays in swearing in a new Democratic lawmaker whose signature could force a vote...

Collins asked directly, "Do you think it has anything to do with the discharge petition and that she could be the 218th signature for the Jeffrey Epstein files?"

iโ€™ve wondered whether the traditional tactic of peaceful resistance to shock the conscience of observers who see nonviolence met with force is still possible in a media environment where only novelty can get the attention of the people you need to be shocked, and portland seems to have an answer

What we learned today from the Bondi hearings; Tom Homan kept the $50,000 bribe and Donald Trump is in the Epstein files with half-naked women.

History wonโ€™t praise Democrats for playing by the rules if itโ€™s the reason we lose our country.

Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant.

No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Federal agents knock down elderly couple during Portland protest An 84-year-old said she sustained a concussion and was hit with a projectile after she and her husband, a Vietnam vet, were knocked down by federal officers.

A FB friend of mine posted this about her aunt. I shared her quote here, there was more to her quote but I didnโ€™t have room to fit it all in. It is now being reported by the media too. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

โ€œWe are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.โ€

I say we take away taxpayer-funded health care from members of Congress and see what kind of shutdown theyโ€™re willing to stage when their coverage is on the line. Maybe then theyโ€™d stop playing games with the ACA and the lives of millions of Americans.
