🔥 ZOHRAN ON FOX: "I want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Adams who will call you to stay out of jail… a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election… I’ll be a mayor ready to speak at any time to lower the cost of living.“

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

Join us & let him know just what you think about that this Saturday, 10/18

JUST IN: A federal judge in San Francisco has HALTED Trump’s plan to lay off thousands of federal workers during his shutdown, calling it “unlawful” and “politically motivated.” Judge Illston said Trump acted as if “the laws don’t apply to them anymore.”

Why are they talking so much about the protests? They should mind their business if it’s nonsensical and pointless to them.

They’re showing that they actually care and are afraid of the American people making their voices heard. So I say, let’s get louder!

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.

If you are a lawyer, please help out and do this: bring or borrow a megaphone, point out what the police and/or ICE are doing is not clear, and speak out! Use your tools to help with what is going on!

Donald Trump has been firing people who protect your health, safety and pocketbook, and who keep our country safe.

The shutdown is just his latest excuse for these purges.

Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.

⚠️ Warning: these back-to-back scenes are hard to watch unless you’ve got a depraved heart.

These are thugs, not officers with any real training. We keep seeing it again and again, and at this point, it’s clearly the op.

This weekend, three men in Evanston hugged their families goodbye to look for work at Home Depot but were attacked by ICE before they could return home.

Two were abducted, one is petrified of leaving the home.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.
