AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

A report by The Washington Post found that roughly $22.8 billion of taxpayer money was allocated to Musk's companies within the last five years

He's using your money to "purchase" a vehicle his company produced and can't sell

This is textbook racketeering

Quote from Daytona Beach News-Journal article: "In another message exchange, dated June 12, Langston said to Mills: "Leave me alone."

Mills replied: "Okay Linds. Get me his number and I can send him videos. Take care.""

Most evils done from one human to another, can be traced back to believing another person is subhuman.

There is no greater immorality.

Republicans want to say Democrats are immoral, but:
“First remove the log from your own eye, so you can see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother’s.”

JD Vance can dismiss the Young Republicans as a college group chat.

But let's be clear: the group chat includes a State Senator, a Trump Admin official, and multiple Republican staffers — and some of the worst comments came from folks associated with Mike Johnson, Elise Stefanik, and Mike Lawler.

The Young Republicans worship the same ideologies as the old Republicans. We should only be surprised that this leaked, not that it was happening in the first place.

It feels like the political overton window has shifted far to the Right because the wealth class controls our media and owns our politicians.

Meanwhile, the vast, vast majority of people belong to what would now be portrayed as “the extreme Left.”

It’s a perception game and narrative control.

IDK what it would take to be considered far right anymore, other than saying you love Hitler.🤷‍♀️

Neoliberalism requires that police arrest you for not expressing your first amendment rights at the correct time while fascists wage a terror campaign around them.

And people try to claim neoliberalism isn’t authoritarian

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

This administration keeps torching the Hatch Act—propaganda videos in airports, partisan emails on federal servers, even mass firings. It’s corruption with a flag pin. See something? Say something. Expose it through the whistleblower tip line.
