I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.
NEW VIDEO: this appears to be the footage from the woman in the pink coat.
Does anyone have this bystander’s video? Please share.
Their kids first!
Let's talk about the midterms.
ICE is terrorizing and punishing blue states and cities to suppress your votes using fear from ICE- yes it's already started.
Blue states need to wake up and have a plan to deploy the National Guard to protect polling stations & voters from the federal government!
No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.
Warning: Reports indicate immigration checkpoints along major interstates in Oklahoma, with Interstate 40 most impacted.
So let me get this straight. The man who tore down the East Wing of the White House in order to build an oversized ballroom that no one asked for has launched an investigation into Jerome Powell over renovations to the Federal Reserve headquarters.
Did I get that right?
There has to be some RING camera footage from the far side of the street surely. If I had it I would only hand it over to the mayor or Walz themselves.
Surely someone's gotta have RING camera footage from houses on the far side of the street.
As a three time combat veteran, I get pissed when a five-time draft dodger like Trump bangs the war drums from Mar-A-Lago.
When politicians talk tough, it’s not their kids who get sent to war. It’s working class kids who have to fight.
Reminder: Trump pardoned a major drug trafficker - former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández - almost one month ago to the day ago.
This hits differently when you have a son that will have to register for the selective service in 2028, the year the orange felon will pull all stops to try to stay in office. If this is what he does ahead of midterms, I can't even imagine 2028. We must impeach NOW!
They are all responsible and should be tried as war criminals. You back the wrong horse, you lose, period.
It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.
Mother F.... I hadn't even finished writing up my 2026 bingo card yet.
Q: China, Russia, and Iran have interests in Venezuela. How does this operation affect your relationships with them?
TRUMP: In terms of other countries that want oil, we're in the oil business. We're gonna sell it to them. We'll be selling oil.
Let me fix that for you... The United States, "which took over Venezuela in some ways," is a disaster and run by "incompetent senile men"....
No, because they know Trump will simply pardon them.
With fewer than 40 bills signed into law as of Dec. 22, the House and Senate set a modern record for lowest legislative output in the first year of a new presidency, according to data maintained by C-SPAN and Purdue University. https://wapo.st/3YPTQGo
Don't forget the oil in Nigeria.
Thanks GlobalTV Canada! 🇨🇦
And here it is. Kushner is working with the Saudis to grab CNN and make them a propaganda channel for both them and tDumpster. If we do not start doing something now, we are going to belong to all the wrong people.

So now we are war criminals and pirates. Nice.
If Congress is condemning Socialism, does that mean they are going to end corporate welfare?
Share TF OUT OF THIS!#TrumpCrushesYourDreams
Wait until they find out about mix tapes. #genX

Enemy of my enemy...I don't trust that any of this comes from a place of goodness, but I'll still take it. Watch he closely, but take it.
The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.
