This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

BREAKING: Supreme Leader Trump has repealed the Second Amendment

Motherfucking wind farms…

Pack the Court. If we are serious about the defense of these rights, we pack the Court. Simple as that. They pack it back, we pack it again. We do it until we reach consensus on long-term reforms to the judiciary. I don't know what it's going to take for people to get it.

American Democracy Might Not Survive a War With Iran The United States is well down the road to dictatorship. Imagine what Trump would do with a state of war.

So…..fraud and waste? Eh?!?!

"the top 1% of Americans accounted for 28% of the 'tax gap' — the disparity between taxes owed and taxes collected — totaling an approximate $163 billion each year"

Please.

My God: they are selling off federal buildings and no longer planning on collecting revenues.
Again, none of this is about efficiency. I know the IRS is not popular, but for every dollar invested it generates about $7 in returns. The goal is not to save money but to stop collecting it.

The "Fraud" Fraud How DOGE destroys

DOGE uses the word "fraud" to destroy in at least 6 ways:

The White House Correspondents' Association needs to stop covering the White House. Boycott. Blackout.

Get out and cover what this administration DOES not what it says.
