Our constitutional rights and freedoms are being gutted by an authoritarian police state that ruthlessly oppresses all who disagree with it. Our democracy is being sacrificed on an altar of greed and corruption, by plutocrats seeking absolute power.

If the sitting president of the United States wants to give himself a massive, fatal heart attack by stuffing his face with toxic junk food day in and day out, I won't be the one to stop him. It's still a free country-- at least, for a little while longer.

This will make more sense than anything else you read today:

“He had hot fries waiting for him from McDonald’s ... And then he had a Filet-O-Fish, a Quarter Pounder, and a Big Mac, and I think he combined two of them,” said [RNC Chair] Gruters.

RNC Chair Spills On The Wild Way Trump Eats His McDonald’s Order

Joe Gruters, a Trump ally, said eating just two of the sandwiches from the fast food restaurant chain made him “sick as a dog.”

Unfortunately for all Americans and our quarter-millennium democratic experiment, the Trump 2.0 administration has proven much more adept at breaking rules than following them. The greatest and most beneficent laws are only words written on paper, unless and until people decide to enforce them.

so every member of the House who is a R is in violation of this rule which is not just a rule but is in the constitution which makes it the ultimate law of the land

The scariest thing is, these young Republican fascists could one day soon be legitimately running our government, unless their vile viewpoints and monstrous prejudices are exposed to the light of day.

Racists, bigots and misogynists aren't born-- they're taught. Hatred and intolerance are learned.

Posts claim photo shows Trump, Epstein and Bondi. They're almost right

The original image, taken in 1997, shows the two men with Belgian model Ingrid Seynhaeve.

It's my expectation that the government will remain shut down at least until Adelita Grijalva is sworn in, the Epstein files are released, and ACA/Obamacare subsidies are extended. As the majority party in Congress, GOP can make all of these things happen, but they won't, because they fear Trump.

Democrats @democrats.org · 18h

It’s been 22 days since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her election.

Republicans still haven’t sworn her in.

She would be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files.

Listen more closely: It could be that the siren you hear is the siren song of the post-constitutional fascist police state America is devolving into, under Dictator Donald Trump and his extrajudicial horde of ICE storm troopers.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 18h

Trump: "You hear those sirens going off? That's good. A good sound. That means they either got the bad guy or they're gonna stop the bad guy. You didn't hear that sound bc nobody wanted to do anything. Listen to the beauty of that sound. That's the real deal sirens, not politically correct sirens"

51% say “worse off” under Trump/ 17% “better off.” That’s before Republican health care cuts drive up costs more.

"A bar chart by YouGov and published by CBS News Poll asks individuals about the financial impact of Trump’s policies on their lives. Fifty-one percent of respondents say they are “worse off,” thirty-two percent say they are “the same,” and seventeen percent say they are “better off.” Fifty-one percent and seventeen percent are circled in red and blue pen.

"Accused" of carrying drugs. We are killing people merely accused of a crime. No trial. No evidence. No proof of anything. This is cold-blooded murder by our government.
