...Bezos has thrown his support behind T**** who in turn has targeted the CFPB which oversees protection against such deceptive practises with funding cuts and staff reductions as part of his war on regulatory agencies. popular.info/p/update-law...

...reading this and from what I have been seeing, the real "rioters" and thugs are the ICE agents. It clarly appears that they are he ones with the intent to instigate and escalate. We cannot allow them to get away with that or succumb to it. religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

...reading this is like reading accounts from Germany in the 1930s. Miller's spin on the ICE operation in Chicago has a similar tone to the Reich propaganda back then. Just replace Jews with migrants and anyone who doesn't see eye to eye with our Inferior Leader. newrepublic.com/article/2014...

...indeed it is time to stand up strong for the people of this nation and not succumb to bullying, lies, or fear. Every shutdown since 1981 is owned by the GOP as they are the result of the five big tax breaks which they approved that have starved the treasury. newrepublic.com/article/2013...

..faster and faster we hurtle down the slippery slope towards autocracy. Because two states stood up against him, T**** is considering invoking the Insurrection Act against blue states and cities. Paradoxical, given what he encouraged on January 6th 2021. newrepublic.com/article/2013...

...I wonder T**** will claim they are running away from dangerous ANTIFA agents who are burning and looting the city..

...they are acting no different than the Schutzstaffel of Nazi Germany or KGB of Soviet Russia (today the FSB under Putin). This behaviour now extends to any citizen who opposes T****'s policies as we have seen in Portland. popular.info/p/how-federa...

...indeed just a bit suspicious given the timing and T****'s threats. The true rule of law means nothing to these tyrants unless they are the only ones exercising it. That is how things work in an autocracy. T**** and his "junta" are the real constitutional crisis here. time.com/7323442/sout...

...T****'s sending of federal marshals and CBP officers to the city in July of 2020 actually escalated tensions, even though by then, protests had for the most part had been winding down. Some here still feel it was a "rehearsal" for future such deployments. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

...disobeying a court order is known as criminal contempt which and could be considered a felony. It can also include jail time. This, along with stripping funding from states that didn't vote for him is pure personal vindictiveness and has no place in our country. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

...there he goes again. Just like in his last term, another temproary band-aid for a festering wound he only made worse with his trade war. To pour salt into that wound, the bailout of Argentina is actually benefiting China. In the end, guess who will pay for this. www.cnn.com/2025/10/05/b...

...this is the last rea that needs to be deregulated. Deregulation has made a mess of a number of industries and put responsibility to the public on a low priority. Given how utilities often cut corners to maximise profit, safety is at risk. www.morningbrew.com/stories/nucl...

...this is usually what one expects to see in a dictatorship, not a democratic republic..

...we don't just have a king, we have a tyrant king who was granted unlimited power by a majority partisan Supreme Court. Judges are supposed to be neutral adjudicators, not biased towards either side. the right leaning Supreme Court has failed in that respect. newrepublic.com/article/2012...

...wow another attempted cover-up. Glad I have a copy of the study about domestic terrorism that Bondi had deleted a couple days after the Kirk shooting. This is why AI (which T**** supports) is dangerous. meidasnews.com/news/maga-pu...

...so now they're going after the children as ;leverage. "The Party of Family Values" is back to separating families again as well as trafficking thorough the payments to self deport. Meanwhile T**** calls the (D)s the party of "hate". migrantinsider.com/p/breaking-i...

...so much for the "land of the free" The T**** regime may as well crate up the Statue of Liberty and send it back to France. My fear is this will likely be a poison pill rider on a must pass bill like the next CR in seven weeks. It just keeps getting worse. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

...everything T**** claims about the (D)s and liberals (save maybe the Satan reference) pretty much describes himself and the GOP. The (D)s' message is not one of "hate", it is a warning to to wake up and see the path he and the GOP are taking our country down. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

...Bessent put his foot in his mouth when he claimed we need to bail out Argentina because it's a "beacon of right-wing economics". Right-wing economic policy has done little for our own country and its citizens save for benefiting those like Citrone. popular.info/p/update-tre...

...the T**** Regime's weaponization is no longer limited just to individuals he doesn't like, but now being extended to states that he lost in. This is basically penalising citizens for exercising their basic constitutional right to choose this nation's leadership. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...
