I am planning on going to No Kings gathering this weekend in central Texas. And since I was terminated by MSNBC a few weeks ago, can someone let me know where to pick up paycheck that GOP keeps talking about. I have asked many folks going to No Kings, and none are getting paid.

If someone on your own side is caught frolicking in a racist group chat, is it fair to criticize them? Or should you just keep your mouth shut because you agree with them about Trump? For some, this is difficult.

What is the point and mission of the CIA if the President announces what they are doing or about to do? 😂😂😂 You can’t make this shit up!

At the same time, this has also resulted in American lives lost, treason, and nothing happened.

Facts. It’s the Sith or the Legion of Doom crowning themselves for deceit and ruin. Power clings to them for now, but the venom sustaining it will turn inward. The spell is breaking, and the crowd sees the lie.

The Congressional Black Caucus’s silent partnership with AIPAC

www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Yet to this day, the Congressional Black Caucus—the long-standing corps of lawmakers dedicated to safeguarding civil rights (and known as “the conscience of Congress”)—has not issued a formal declaration condemning Israel; it hasn’t even produced a statement calling for a ceasefire. The CBC’s silence isn’t accidental: More than half of its current 61 members have been endorsed or funded by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the powerful US lobbying arm for Israel’s agenda. In the 2023–24 election cycle alone, AIPAC endorsed 26 of the caucus’s members, raising $4.6 million for them and another $3.5 million for Black Democratic candidates.

What racists and racist sympathizers don’t get, and as they’re realizing now, is they will never be happy or satisfied, because that’s what miserable and deplorable is.
Right now they have everything, the grandmaster of wet dreams and still they mad AF.

Just because Mike Johnson is keeping the House in recess doesn't mean he isn't working hard. For example, he's energetically covering up the rape of children by Jeffrey Epstein and his friends.
