New England Progressive For decades our government - on both sides of the aisle - has been in league with the oligarchs in violation of federal antitrust laws. Let them know that We, the People, will not consent. #RollingStrikesNOW

And the money he gave them is only going to be enough to pay their debt. Nothing left for them. Of course, that's the idea. Put the #farmers out of business, sell the land to the #oligarchs and hire them to work the land they used to own.

Those who control the #food supply, control the people.

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

His greed has absolutely no limits. He's nothing but a thief. If we manage to survive this he should spend the rest of his soulless life in prison. The death penalty is too kind. He should have to live with the consequences of what he's done --in the general population.

Or it could be they're getting a nice, big carrot to be quiet.
Or they just don't want to lose any seats.

And I'll bet there are good number of them who partook of the opportunity to rape young girls, given that women are property to them and they want to make the consent of children legal.

When the House held a moment of silence to honor the Capitol Police on the one year anniversary of the January 6 insurrection, literally none of the Republicans-other than Dick and Liz Cheney-attended

That day, Mike Johnson and MAGA essentially spat on these heroes-both in word AND in deed

Platner worked in the embassy in Kabul. He wasn't a mercenary. Better to do our own homework now, than listen to someone we don't know.

The opposition will have more plants now than ever before, and those who aren't may be passing along misinfo.

His job was private security for U.S. diplomatic operations w/in the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan.

He was not a mercenary.

#Platner is man who learned and grew from his experiences.

No, but we have to vet like we've never done before. Too many haven't learned this. It's become incumbent on those who have to make sure it's done.

Let's spread the word. We have way too much to lose.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.
