Literally that’s the law. I’m not joking or exaggerating.

It started with Johnson thinking “must adjourn to hide the Epstein Files” but now it’s him and Trump thinking “we would rather not have a congress at all”.

Unless the headline is “expands to killing randomly” it’s misleading

I’m sure there’s lots of MAGA saying “this is exactly what I voted for!” because they always do,

Missouri and North Carolina are blessed with so little crime that their AUSAs are happy to have a $19,000 case just to have something to do.

Wasn't expecting this, but watching the felon king tear down the White House East Wing gave me the same vibes as when I watched the MAGAts storming the capital on January 6th.

Note: Vance didn’t say anything about citizenship when announcing drug dealers should be extrajudicially killed.

We are barreling into a Duerte style murdering spree.

I don’t have a strong opinion on candidacy but the post’s conclusion of

“Can’t fight the Nazis of the world with Hakeem Jeffries” shows him aware of how close he was coming to declaring Nazis acceptable political allies

Not a great analogy because Trump wasn’t acquitted.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.
