Reminding people in the military and law enforcement of their oath and duty to the Constitution is only a bad thing to someone who wants to rip up the Constitution.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Through every shutdown in history, the government has still provided economic data to the American people. They aren’t doing it this time because the numbers are fucking terrible.

Epstein offered the NY Times photos of Trump with young girls in bikinis during his first campaign in 2015. The NY Times declined them because they were just too busy hyperventilating over Hillary’s private email server. Support independent media.

Jimmy Kimmel returns tomorrow. This is an important victory for free speech. Remember that it was YOU all using your power TOGETHER that got a gigantic corporation to reverse itself. Bless everyone who participated in telling Mickey Mouse to fuck off.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Trump will likely try to use this to justify authoritarian crackdowns...and delegitimize dissent. Democrats should preempt that by warning: “Yes, violence is unacceptable...and equally unacceptable...is using this tragedy as an excuse to strip away constitutional freedoms.”

There's only one way to stop the rumors about Donald Trump's health: a press conference. Why won't he talk to the press, and why isn't the media doggedly demanding it?

Jobs numbers being "revised" down by more than 75% means two things: 1. Donald's "Golden Age" is going to be more like a golden shower; and 2. We can't trust *any* numbers coming out of this deceitful, propaganda obsessed White House.

This was the order of events: 1. Paramount acceded to Trump’s extortion by paying a bribe. 2. Stephen Colbert calls his employer out for doing that. 3. Paramount fires Stephen Colbert for being honest about Trump. 4. Proving Trump’s bribe worked.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut. If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

If there are any f*cking lessons learned, the media better start demanding real transparency on Donald Trump’s health, unless they honestly believe he’s 6’3”, 224 pounds, and passed his cognitive tests with flying colors. He’s not just getting a pass; it’s a cover-up. And everyone sees it.

Before Pam Bondi was the attorney general for the United States. She earned $115,000 a month working as a lobbyist...for.....Qatar. So maybe we shouldn't be seeking her opinion on what's the bribe.

Menendez Jr: They feel no weight of the law and no restraint on what they should be doing. And that was shown in broad daylight today when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress standing behind me. How is this acceptable?

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

So to sum up the Wisconsin arrest issue: ICE didn't have a juridical warrant. They only had an administrative warrant. The DOJ has not convened a grand jury to indict the judge. They only got a criminal complaint before a magistrate judge. This is ridiculous.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Immediate proof is necessary. Transparency is vital for accountability. We must demand evidence of his status to ensure justice and clear any doubts. Without proof, speculation will persist-and must.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.
