What kind of asshole still supports a politician after it becomes glaringly obvious they’re a pedophile?

As consistently demonstrated, this administration continues testing the limits of the constitution…

Americans do not want a president who bypasses our Constitution and pulls us towards war without Congressional approval.

Trump needs to bring his case to Congress immediately.

ICE Quietly Scales Back Rules for Courthouse Raids A requirement that ICE agents ensure courthouse arrests don't clash with state and local laws has been rescinded by the agency. ICE declined to explain what that means for future enforcement.

"Revised policy guidance recently posted to ICE’s website and reviewed by WIRED reveals efforts by the agency to enhance the discretion and autonomy of the federal agents making arrests in and around courthouses"

A.K.A They went high profile to help scare people but that's backfiring.

What Cory Booker is doing right now is what *every* filibuster should look like, by the way.

No little documents and notices to the majority leader. If you believe a bill must be blocked, you gotta stand up and bring the place to a halt till you physically can’t do it anymore.

We eradicated measles decades ago, but distrust in science and vaccines is putting communities at risk. That’s why we want to equip members with the facts, to keep people safe. Thanks @VinGuptaMD.bsky.social & Dr. Hoffman for joining us tonight for our measles townhall.

Canadian here who spent the last 3 winters in Savannah, GA. But no more. Even left a week early with no intention to book next year. Can't control policy or insulting rhetoric, but can control how and where I spend my $$. Looks like Spain for 2026. Spoke to local media about it.

He's not eliminating fraud and waste. He's setting up a kleptocracy so that he can steal and profit in: real estate, tech, drilling, deforestation, currency, and privatization.

A screenshot of a social media post from a user named Rodney Grundmeyer. The first post, dated November 4, 2024, features an image of a garbage truck with a large "Trump 2024" sign and a caption that reads, "Let's take out the trash together and vote Trump for 2024!" The second post, dated one day ago, states, "Thanks to Elon Musk, I am now out of work," followed by an explanation of job loss due to company reorganization. The image is shared by the Twitter account "Conservative Self-Owns".

For a majority of 2024, the single most important issue in the United States, as measured by volume and placement of media coverage, was presidential candidate age and mental fitness. A president failing to recall what he had recently said was front page news.
Then in late July it stopped mattering.

Why Consumers Are Holding an 'Economic Blackout' Today The blackout arrives as consumers are growing weary of rising prices on goods and services.

Today, American consumers are being encouraged to abstain from purchasing any non-essential goods as part of a 24-hour buying blackout that aims to showcase the economic power of everyday people. The goal is to advocate for β€œeconomic resistance, government accountability, and corporate reform.”
