Every time, every single time I read things like this I feel like the village idiot. I'm being robbed and I know it. Why do I continue to just let it happen!?

Corruption in plain sight.

"Under Barack Obama" is the point for Donald Trump. Hence, he will destroy this too. Can anyone stop this?

WATCH: One of Mike Rogers' senior campaign leaders resigned amid reports about his "connection to the Midland Living Word Church scandal" where three elders have been convicted of sex crimes involving children. Mike Rogers still hasn't said a word.

If the government can trace every dollar coming in… shouldn’t it be able to show, clearly and honestly, where every dollar goes out?

They changed the headlines—not the policy. ICE isn’t in the spotlight anymore… but the raids, detentions, and family separations never stopped. I break down what’s really happening open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

They’re coming for the abortion pill. Sen. Josh Hawley introduced legislation this week to remove FDA approval for the use of mifepristone to end pregnancies. F*ck that! We need a “Safeguarding Women from Men Making Laws About Our F*cking Bodies Act” on the docket!

Past Due by Drew Pisarra Editor's Note: This villanelle’s repetition allows the speaker to ruminate on past choices with empathy for what could have been.

Wowzer! Thank you Randy George

ICE has violated almost 100 court orders. Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order. That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.

Trump told you he’d run America like a business. He is. It’s called asset stripping. You sell the profitable pieces, gut the workforce, load it with debt, and walk away rich while everyone else holds the bag. Congratulations. You didn’t elect a president. You hired a liquidator.

The fact that Trump’s “Justice” Department met with Epstein’s accomplice for two days, but never met with a single survivor of Epstein and Maxwell’s crimes, tells us everything we need to know. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
