ICE is struggling to hire officers — even after lowering its standards. DHS is spending millions of dollars on an aggressive television ad campaign targeting local police officers — but it's not getting nearly enough applicants.

Why is Apple, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and others financing the destruction of the WH and desecration of the grounds, something that is infuriating to huge chunk of the American population? Do you hate your customers that much?

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

Ted finally deleted this lie over 24 hours later. Only the 900th time he has posted a fake right-wing internet lie. You would think a US Senator would take a few minutes to make sure these things are legit, but we are talking about Ted Cruz.

When do you think Trump and Republicans will realize they drove up No Kings protest attendance by calling it a “hate America rally”?

She nails it🔥

“I am a patriot and I will not… let anyone tell me that I am not here because I love my country.”
