Corporations arenโ€™t people, money isnโ€™t free speech, and we need to End Citizens United.

Serious question. Bondi said the other day that there were "disgusting" tapes of children being abused. Has anyone questioned her further? If there are recordings, it seems to me that a client list could be culled by identifying the rapists.

Ruiz: Why did the report include citations that donโ€™t exist?

RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions in that report are accurate

Ruiz: How can they be accurate if they did not exist?

Yes, but the problem is the number of Trump's unconstitutional/illegal acts. It's virtually impossible to focus on just one for any length of time.

There are many complicated explanations for why Dems have spent 50 yrs losing lots of elections, but theres also a simple one:

Dems were a majority party for decades when they championed New Deal-ism & they became a losing party when they sided with money & discarded that legacy

I Criticized President Trump. He is Accusing Me of Treason "This is about whether we will allow the Presidentโ€”any president, of any political partyโ€”to criminalize criticism."

Miles Taylor is a patriot who risked his career and reputation to do what was right for his country. Revenge is not a legitimate end of government.

PRO PUBLICA: Of the 238 men sent to an El Salvador mega prison, only 6 had prior violent crime convictions.

0 were on the gang member list.
130 had no criminal history.
32 had minor offenses.

All 238 thought they were being sent back to Venezuela. www.instagram.com/p/DKcjM7FPhz...

A rogue president with a loyal DOJ isnโ€™t unstoppable, unless we act like peasants. Courts can stop him. States can sue him. Whistleblowers can expose him. But it takes all of us, loud, sharp, fed up. Power bends to pressure. So push. Hard. Clean House with your votes, or get steamrolled. Our call.
