If you're wondering why Donald hasn't done anything to fix the economy, bring down prices, or stop the violence by ICE in our cities . . . he is focused on bigger issues.

🔥 COUNTRY SINGER @bryanandrewsmusic.bsky.social : "You don't get to call yourself a Christian and laugh when families are torn apart — and think it's okay that the highest court in the land just gave a green light to ICE agents to target people because they’re brown or speaking Spanish.”

Trump bailed out Argentina, who then undercut US farmers by selling their soybeans to China, who used be our biggest customer for soybeans before Trump drove them away with his tariffs.

This is Trump 3D chess in action.

Arrogance, Ignorance and Idiocy.

Fuck ALL of them who tried to pretend they cared about free speech when all they ever wanted was hate speech without consequences. They were full of shit then and they always will be. And yes, I know they will find a way to defend this because they have no center and they have no bottom.

It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people.

Since September 8th, “Operation Midway Blitz” in Chicago, the Department of Homeland Security claims ICE has detained 800 people, though organizers caution against taking these figures as fact, given the agency’s history of falsehoods.

But they do say agents are increasingly using extreme force.

It's a no-brainer that her appointment is invalid. So the question becomes, is the indictment (on she was the only lawyer signatory) invalid as a result—and, if so, is it too late for the Trump DOJ to remedy that problem, given that the statute of limitations ran on Sept. 30.

James Comey formally notifies the court of his intent to try to disqualify Trump’s lawyer Lindsey Halligan as unlawfully appointed.

The motion cites rulings DQ-ing two other Trump top prosecutors: Sigal Chattah and Alina Habba.
