Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Can't believe our tax dollars are going to be spent settling the upcoming exorbitant defamation suit with Sabrina Carpenter, but maybe this is just how public arts funding is going to work now.

WOW! AN HONOR! — GCN

Shitposting till dawn to distract from the Epstein Files is, apparently, exhausting.

Pastor Jorge Bautista was telling a Border Patrol agent "we come in peace" when the agent fired toxic powder at him, leaving him struggling to breathe. “No one should be assaulted for being out there protesting,” he says. With @frontlinepbs.bsky.social

Lawmakers from both parties want reviews of U.S. strikes on suspected drug-smuggling vessels after a report that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered all crew members killed in a Sept. 2 attack.

In case you missed it 🇺🇸

If it’s true that Hegseth ordered a second strike to kill survivors, that would clearly be a crime under U.S. and international law. apple.news/A82SaEQv7T5i...

Federal immigration enforcement officials called off a planned raid on Canal Street today shortly before it was slated to begin. New Yorkers who heard about the raid showed up at the garage where the feds had gathered, and as federal agents tried to leave, the NYPD cleared the way for them.

Let's be blunt: A good leader would never be threatened by their subordinates following the law. Trump's tantrum isn't about politics; it's a preview. He's telling our troops, "My word is above the law." That's the opposite of everything our military family signed up to defend. #IllegalOrders

Trump’s approval rating is negative with EVERY pollster for the first time.

Take a minute to read this perfect explanation of MTG's current stand...she does not deserve our sympathy. She created this monster and is using it for her own benefit.

Just something to consider if you like Nike products. The founder just donated $3 million to the Oregon Republican party, the largest political donation in Oregon history. Still want their products?

Mark Kelly: "The message he sent a couple days ago was he declared that loyalty to the Constitution is now punishable by death. Those are serious words coming from the president. He's trying to intimidate us. But I'm not going to be intimidated."

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

Let's call a spade a Spade!

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

Father David who spent years practicing law and representing abused kids is begging MAGA to wake up. Trump’s ‘release the Epstein files’ vow will last minutes before DOJ blocks it with the usual ‘ongoing investigation.’ Another empty promise! #USDemocracy #Pinks youtube.com/shorts/6i9-G...
