While Mike Johnson claims he doesn’t have a strategy, we know that’s a lie. His strategy: give tax breaks to billionaires and protect the predators since he won’t release the Epstein files. All while Americans suffer.

He is such a playful guy, I’m sure firing missiles off the CA coast is not intended to send any type of message…😳

And they won’t admit you if it’s not an emergency. How many parents have gone to the ER with a baby with a high temperature? Would you deny that care to anyone? Seriously? If so, then we are not the same.

American fascists are, obviously, very scared about how big a protest "No Kings" will be this weekend, as seen by their hysterical, dishonest rhetoric about it.

Let's make their fears come true by showing up on October 18

Grijalva needs to be sworn in now. She is a duly elected representative of Arizona and the Speaker of the House has no right to delay this.

It should be a litmus test for Democratic presidential primary candidates whether they will restore the White House and DC public properties to exactly the way they were before the Palm Beach lounge lizard decided to turn it into Mar-a-Lago meets 1936 Nuremberg.

He is fascinating to me. Not only is he doing things that will hurt the black community, I would not be surprised if he voted to strike down interracial marriage.

Trump will get his kickback. Bessent's hedge fund buddies will get their cut. Millei will get his chunk. And when it comes tumbling down, a quick flight out of the country.

Versus $4 b for not letting people die on the street (both citizen and non-citizen). These are Christians? Really?

Something else that has never happened before in American history, as the Trump admin continues to piss on the Bill of Rights while Republicans in Congress continue to remain silent. Another thing to protest on Saturday.
