I think we should just have a listening session with your nearest MAGAt where we throw all this economic, fiscal, and moral evidence in their face, without the inevitable spin from Faux News and X. I would love to see the squirming as he/she tries to come up with a justification
Hahaha welcome to the reality distortion field most of these MAGAts live in
I don’t know about partisan, I think it’s called having eyes and some sense of morality

If only Murkowski was a member of an organization that could do something about Congress being "adrift," that would be amazing.
“The Congress is adrift,” said Senator Lisa Murkowski, Republican of Alaska. “It’s like we have given up. And that’s not a good signal to the American public.”

A lot of those 77M are probably complaining now at the level of economic hardship. Unfortunately too few
Soon he’ll deface Washington off Mount Rushmore and change it to his face
Horrific. Next he’ll open Katmai National Park to commercial fishing
Because this is what Kings do! Let them eat cake, President Trump would say! I have Palaces to build. His sheeple are only concerned that the government isn’t directly “paying” for it, but he’s already allocating funds from the DoW for it.

NBC News finds that:
-- ICE has shortened its training from 13 weeks to six.
-- Nearly half of recruits couldn’t pass an open-book written exam.
-- Recruits "are supposed to attest" they can pass the physical-fitness test, which requires them to run ... 6 mph.

Some new ICE recruits have shown up to training without full vetting
The recruits have had criminal backgrounds or failed drug tests or were unable to meet physical or academic standards, raising concerns about the agency’s rush to hire immigration officers, sources to...

Looks as if Trump is saying no Democrat will be allowed to win another national election—and he will use the FBI, the DOJ, and the CIA to make sure of that. This is a full-scale attack on American democracy, and every Republican, CEO, and conservative mouthpiece who doesn't object is complicit.
Trump: "We can never let what happened in the 2020 election happen again. We just can't let that happen. I know Kash is working on it, everybody is working on it. And certainly Tulsi is working on it. We can't let that happen again to our country."

This is the asymmetry in our politics and media. If this was the other way around, Biden had pardoned someone then charged with trying to kill Trump, it would be the biggest story in America and every Republican commentator, congressman, news outlet, would be screaming about it in unison.

A pardoned Capitol rioter was arrested last weekend for allegedly threatening to kill the top House Democrat.

Well all started with Pete Hegseth. Trump can’t get people who are both competent and unquestionably loyal, and guess what? he chose loyalty. Can’t wait for next November

The Department of Homeland Security just spent over $170M in taxpayer funds to buy Kristi Noem two luxury Gulfstream jets.

Meanwhile, Trump's shutdown is threatening the paychecks and SNAP benefits of millions of Americans.

"New Golden Age" for who?
Terrible grammar my dude one would think you’re not human.

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."
Get out there on the 18th folks. This huge step back from all the progress made…we need to be loud and shout out our frustrations!

Maybe Mike meant "stood on" Capitol Police?
The devastation and cruelty of this administration needs to be laid bare and evident to those that are even brainwashed. Unfortunately, this is chaos right now. A fragile peace in Gaza notwithstanding
