For over 5 years, Marjorie Taylor Greene was one of the people in Congress most disliked by Democrats. No death threats. It was only when she turned on Donald Trump that she got death threats. Just like Senators only received threats of violence after they wavered on Trump's cabinet nominations.

They already shut down California business at Burbank and Sonoma County Charles Schultz.

A federal judge has allowed a lawsuit alleging inhumane conditions at the ICE processing center in Broadview to proceed as a class-action, authorizing two former detainees to represent potentially hundreds of current and future immigration arrestees processed at the west suburban facility.

What makes this Lindsay Halligan mess even more delicious? AG Bondi told the court that she ratified everything Halligan did—TWICE. That means she explicitly reviewed her work, knew countless laws and procedures had been violated, and still signed off on it. Corruption starts at the top!

UT-Austin hasn’t said whether it will sign an agreement with the Trump administration that would tie preferential access to federal funding to a series of campus policy changes. Most other invited universities have rejected the administration’s offer.

I legit don't understand why it's so difficult for white people to understand that racists do not care about anything but their racism, which always ALWAYS comes with a side of misogyny, gender notwithstanding.
