When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

Sooner or later, some kid is going to take one of these tear gas canisters that ICE cars are leaving as a parting gift and toss it back into their vehicle.
Border patrol agents deployed tear gas on the 3700 block of North Kildare where residents say a landscape worker, a resident, and a woman on a bike were detained. Video from a resident.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

GOP's current 2025 Epstein Federal Government Shutdown is trying to suppress the sharing of the Club Epstein theme song: "Where Everybody Knows Your Name:"

The question of "why do people vote against their self-interest" is pretty self-explanatory when you look up the literacy rate in local schools.

We have high schools with a literacy rate of 32%.

The Reagan Foundation's entire purpose is to preserve Reagan's legacy and share his principles, but now they're backing up the current president who insists that "Ronald Reagan loved tariffs."

Great job defending Reagan's legacy and principles, guys.

Hey, was he a big fan of Russia too?

It’s the Epstein ballroom
Congress could stop this shit.
So, when are they going to release the Epstein Files?
"At this moment in time, of course, the release of the TRUMPSTEIN Files is really the public's main priority."

If That’s a donation, it goes to the treasury and only congress can decide how to spend it. No such (lawful) thing as private payment of government obligation.

“Over 170 U.S. Citizens are being arrested. Why? Because they look like me,” Rep. Robert Garcia of California said, referencing our reporting. “Or because they are suspected to not be a U.S. citizen, or because they are suspected of crimes they have not committed.”
Joint Congressional Investigation Launched in Response to ProPublica’s Revelations on Detained Americans
Senators, House members and even a mayor expressed outrage and demanded accountability after our investigation detailed how at least 170 citizens have been held by immigration agents this year.
