The $2.3 million house in Frsico Texas that AG Ken Paxton and his mistress paid cash for on his salary of $153,750 per year.

The beclowning of America continues.

Experts are projecting that the war in Iran will cost taxpayers $1 trillion. The people in charge just gave the richest 1% a $1 trillion tax break. And they really want us to believe SNAP and healthcare are the problem?? Get real.

Fun fact: North Carolina still hasn’t recovered from hurricane Helene, and Trump wants $2 billion to give people who smeared shit on the walls of the Capitol.

AOC: This is what drinking water in Georgia looks like after Meta began data center construction in the community.

People will try to tell you it’s “just a joke,” but it’s much more than that: This is a test. Our democracy will not collapse in a single moment. It weakens when the public becomes numb to rhetoric that would once have been unthinkable. We cannot allow ourselves to become numb.

Yes we are.

Every picture of shit is shitty.

Did you know every MAGA influencer is in a group chat with people close to the administration where they’re regularly given scripts? They also have a website to sign up for influence campaigns that they never disclose. They’re making bank off of lying to you.

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

MacFarlane: People in Virginia voted by the millions. Their voices were heard and now have been silenced. And you want to talk about what starts a political wave in a year like this: a mass of people who think their voices have been silenced. That doesn't stop a wave that fuels one.

Republicans count on Cuban American votes in Florida, but ICE arrests of Cuban nationals have gone up by 463%, while green card approvals have dropped by 99.8%. trib.al/zsxuNM4

If Melania wants Jimmy Kimmel fired for hateful rhetoric, someone should introduce her to her husband

It is possible for even a pundit on Fox to tell the truth. Worth noting, though, is that this man is named Juan and has brown skin.

Republicans want an astonishing, debt-exploding $1.5 trillion military budget, more for ICE, billions to bail out failing airlines, and $400 million for Trump’s ballroom. They are looting the treasury and fleecing taxpayers to pay for Trump’s endless wars and vanity projects.

When my former party today says the left “needs to tone down the rhetoric,” just pull this one out. It’s one of so very, very many.👇

White House Correspondents Dinner Shooting tonight.

imagine arguing with your devout catholic grandma and shouting "the pope is WEAK on crime"

March 4th: "Complete control of Iranian skies. Uncontested airspace. Iran will be able to do nothing about it." April 3rd: Two US planes down. Rescue helicopters shot at. One American missing. Thirty days. That's how long "complete control" lasted.

"All we say to America is, 'Be true to what you said on paper.'" These words — spoken by MLK Jr. shortly before he was killed on this day in 1968 — ring just as true now. Let's honor his legacy by continuing the fight for social and economic justice.

I recommend following @atrupar.com. His posts aren't particularly PLEASANT. But the NYT, WaPo, LAT, CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, WSJ, et al are NOT telling you what's really happening. They're always going to clean up Trump's bigotry, racism, incoherence, and viciousness. bsky.app/profile/atru...

If you ever meet an Air Force PJ, buy them a drink. They’re some of the bravest MFs you’ll ever meet. They’ve been at this all day trying to find the WSO, despite taking fire every time they go out. “These Things We Do, That Others May Live”

Oh. So they want Obama’s nuclear deal minus Obama’s signature. Got it.

35 people have died in ICE custody, and 15 have been shot. Two Americans are dead. Children have been taken from their homes. The face masks must come off, body cameras must go on, and Kristi Noem must resign. Not a single cent more to ICE until we see accountability.

When Keystone Kash's FBI raided the Georgia election office, they not only took all the ballots and equipment, they also took the back-up images of the ballots. Taking the back-up images means that they can tamper with the ballots without anyone being able to prove they did it.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years. These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Okay. Time to call your democratic senators and tell them that Bovino’s demotion and humiliation WILL NOT SUFFICE to fund DHS.

O

Hey MAGA Your president Donald Trump believes if you have a gun you’re a criminal. Wonder what the NRA thinks about this 🤔

🎯🎯

I have never used TikTok and now that Trump and his band of pedos own it, I never will. I bet ya Larry Ellison is also in the Epstein files! Stop posting to TikTok, deny these grifters the profits that will come from your posts!

In an unhinged letter to the Norwegian prime minister, Donald Trump falsely claimed that there are no documents indicating Denmark's claim to Greenland. In fact, the US signed a still-binding 1917 treaty with Denmark to certify that it would not challenge Danish control of Greenland.

We need to give him a show, just not one of violence. Lower the flags; have her body laid in state. Hold public peaceful mourning vigils. Have a protest concert for ICE removal and ask local musicians to play and broadcast it like we are the world. Call up the National guard to protect protesters.

So Americans losing their jobs at record pace but spending our tax dollars on Venezuela so US oil oligarchs benefit. Got it.

The DOJ is lying when it says they *just now* received Epstein files from the Southern District of New York.

1) There was no cease fire 2) The Epstein files will not be released 3) The “Warrior Dividend” is just the asshole putting his name on Congressional appropriations 4) The tariffs are taxes on us, paid by us 5) Venezuela is not sending fentanyl to our shores, and its oilfield were never ours

So… he’s giving them their own money? Where’s the tariff money?

This is the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen. Let’s pretend like these dudes on the boats are really cartel members. There are a handful of OIF/OEF veterans that would be prepared to deal with that amount of firepower. Everyone else? This will get Americans killed.

RAND PAUL THINKS HEALTH INSURANCE BELONGS ON A COSTCO SHELF. HEALTHCARE IS A HUMAN RIGHT, NOT A CLEARANCE ITEM. WE DESERVE UNIVERSAL CARE THAT SERVES EVERYONE, NOT JUST THE RICH. STOP DEFENDING BILLIONAIRES AND DEMAND MEDICARE FOR ALL. 📥💊✊

Every time somebody (Halle Berry today) gets pissed off at Gavin Newsom for vetoing something, I have learned to find out why he did so. I learned this when I found out he vetoed a bill that would have eliminated an already existing, better funded and wider reaching, program with the same purpose.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

America will continue to be lost with Trump burning it to the ground. He has to go for us to begin recovering from all of his bullshit.

They’re murdering people they merely “suspect” of being drug traffickers, yet Trump wants to pardon former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández—who was convicted and sentenced to 45 years for trafficking 400 tons of cocaine into the United States. Wait, what?

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

While the right lose their goddamn minds about a lone wolf doing something horrendous in DC today, let’s not forget that last week in the White House they all gushed over a genocidal, journalist murdering tyrant whose country financed 9/11.
