Man is shot and killed during Minneapolis immigration crackdown, National Guard activated A federal immigration officer has shot and killed a man in Minneapolis, drawing hundreds of protesters onto the frigidly cold streets in a city already shaken by another fatal shooting weeks earlier.

We are past goon squad and now dealing with a death squad. apnews.com/article/immi...

No doubt that this is the most idiotic Administration ever.

I dunno. Kind of like kicking back and watch MAGA/Republicans shoot themselves in the foot with a howitzer.

Donald dodged the draft 5 times, yet all of a sudden he is an expert in Naval Warfare? A few of the weapons/sensors that are shown to be on here have NOT even reached operational capability. We abandoned the rail gun several years ago,. news.usni.org/2025/12/22/t...

Trump is indeed clueless. And one of the problems that ACA continually faces is that R's use of " Obamacare " is not out of respect for President Obama, but to foster the hate that many of the R's have for him. Notice how Trump uses President Obama's middle name and how he says it?

Amazing. Coast Guard can interdict 510,000 pounds of just cocaine in the same area where Trump and Hesgeth are violating International Maritime Law, and they did it without a single death. www.news.uscg.mil/Press-Releas...

Tariffs Can’t Replace the Income Tax - Roosevelt Institute The 1870s were a golden age for tax policy—at least if you ask Donald Trump. It’s true that the US had tariffs, and no income tax, in the late 1800s. It’s worth remembering what else the US didn’t hav...

So Trump is stating that we will make enough money on tariffs to both pay down the National debt and possibly eliminate income tax.Not sure where he gets his figures, but the amount he quotes is literally 3 times the amount of total trade from various countries rooseveltinstitute.org/blog/tariffs...

Marjorie Taylor Greene says she is receiving threats amid rift with Trump President Trump on Friday wrote that he was "withdrawing" his "support and Endorsement" of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, indicating that he might even back an effort to primary his former longtime ally...

I have no idea what to make of MTG. Going from diehard Trumper to being one of a very few R's that make some sense. Leopard changing her spots? Seeing the tide changing and fearing for her job in 26? Regardless, I will give her points for pissing off Trump. www.cbsnews.com/news/marjori...

A Tale of Two Terms: How Powerful Figures Were Prosecuted in Trump’s First Term, Then Pardoned in His Second We found that Donald Trump has granted clemency in at least a dozen criminal cases that originated during his first term. No other president has used clemency to erase his own appointees’ actions on s...

It is often said that we are judged by the company we keep. In Trump's case, it should be by those he has pardoned. Don't think any of us rational folk are surprised by who he gives a get out of jail free card. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Now we are sending a Carrier Battle Group to the Caribbean. Why? We already have too many forces, and Trump and Hesgeth has them breaking International Maritime Law. On top of that, for the first time in forever, we do NOT have a Carrier Battle Group in the Middle East.

Been gone a bit, but I am back. First order of biz is to ask you all to donate to your local food banks. Rising food prices due to tariffs, Government shutdown, and life just sucking for many has pushed Food Banks to the limit. And here come the holidays. donate.ctfoodshare.org/checkout?cid...

Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.

"Great relationship": Trump at South Korea summit says he wants to meet with Kim Jong-un "I'm not supposed to say I really like him a lot ... but I got along with him very well," Trump said.

Trump,yet again is showing his love for Dictators. He has not condemned Vlad, and still believes Vlad will do a peace deal closer to what Trump wants ( but Ukraine will reject) and thinks that Kim still " loves " him. Nope, they are using the idiot. www.axios.com/2025/08/26/t...

Despite Trump’s Tough Talk, Flag Burning Is Protected Speech

Yesterday, a 22 year Army Vet was arrested as he burned a flag in protest to Trump's EO calling for it to be a crime.Yet that same EO acknowledges that when done,as a political protest,is protected by Freedom Of Speech. So,
why the EO?Distract from the #Epsteinfiles? www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/u...

What we are seeing with the D's is more " resistance ". What we need is a P2026 or whatever you want. IMHO, the key to stopping the progress of P2025, and it has made major progress, is way to slow/stop it. P2026 has got to be a specific plan to get the majority in either the Senate or House.

Most importantly, why are we not listening to the victims?

DHS is delaying millions in already approved North Carolina recovery funds, documents show Communities across the region still need to be reimbursed for about a hundred projects including debris removal, waste water treatment repairs, roads and bridges, damaged buildings and parks, as well ...

The Department of Homeland Security is holding up more than $100 million preapproved dollars intended to help hurricane-battered North Carolina clean up storm damage and fix infrastructure, according to documents obtained by The Post.

A G.O.P. Congressman Faced Hometown Voters. It Wasn’t Pretty.

This guy is either brave as f8ck or dumber than dog shit. Both times he professed ignorance on key issues. Hint here. Ignorance is not an excuse.

While Trump wastes millions on a military parade in DC, we're mobilizing everywhere else to show that organized people power is stronger than his authoritarian aspirations. app.sosha.ai/s/ym0nMwG3

Trump is defying courts and ignoring the Constitution. That's why I'm taking to the streets on No Kings Day for a nationwide day of defiance. app.sosha.ai/s/srOO6KNn

All the BS moves Trump & Co have pulled is all a distraction. They figure if the " flood the zone" with abuse of power, ignoring the Constitution, they can sneak this crap plus becoming an Authoritarian Government out of sight. So, we do our best to make others awate

Trump shut down program to end human waste backing into Alabama homes, calling it 'illegal DEI' A $26 million federal program to help residents of Lowndes County, Alabama, who have dealt with inadequate sewage systems for decades was stopped by an executive order.

Excuse me Mr. "President"? Not sure which word you fear the most. Diversity? Equity? or Inclusion? If this was funding to improve the life of let's say the Mar-A-Lago area, would it be illegal then? My bet is no. www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/...

Trump-appointed federal judge rejects use of Alien Enemies Act in Venezuelan deportations The ruling was the first time a judge weighed in on the merits of Trump's invocation of the wartime authority granted in 1798.

Pretty sure Trump will not be pleased that one of his appointees is not kowtowing to him. Actually most aren't. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

asked by Stephen A. Smith about his Harvard shakedown, Trump starts ranting about Harlem and says "I got a very high Black vote"
