I wished I received $20 every time I said "you've got to be fucking kidding" because of some insane shit someone in this fucked-up family said/did.

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.

Tim Walz: "The biggest myth is that this guy understands business. He's an absolute abject failure at business ... the irony is calling Democrats socialists when I am begging for free markets here to allow capitalism to work. Donald Trump is the one with government interference."

The only thing surprising about Mike Johnson refusing to seat newly elected AZ Rep Adelita Grijalva is that anyone is surprised by it.

Repubs told us exactly what they wanted to do in Project 2025. They have all the power unless we take it back from them.

Stephen Miller admitted that they are running the country as if Trump has PLENARY power. That means absolute power.

If you disagree, march with us on October 18th. No Kings Day 2.0‼️

We’ve lived 15 years under Citizens United, watching billionaires and corporations shape democracy with their wallets. Reform once seemed impossible. But now, a group in Montana is asking a radical question: What if states simply stopped granting corporations the power to spend in politics?
Could We End Corporate Money In Politics?
Backers of a referendum before Montana voters next year believe they’ve found a vulnerability on Citizen United

🚨BREAKING: Arizona’s 7th District is certified — Adelita Grijalva is now U.S. Rep. Mike Johnson’s last excuse is gone. No more lies. No more delays. Swear her in NOW so she can do her job. They can delay, lie, and hide—but the Epstein files aren’t going anywhere. The cover-up is cracking.

I guarantee that if you randomly selected 1,000 people in my predominantly white rural town, you would have way more than 10 people have a criminal background.

Trump claims ICE’s reign of terror in Chicago is targeting the “worst of the worst.”

But out of the 1,000 undocumented immigrants that have swept up, the agency has only cited 10 men with a criminal background.

Don’t believe his lies for a second.

Trump says migrants drive violent crime in Illinois. But ICE can’t find many violent criminals.
Masked ICE agents and other federal forces showed up in Chicago to go after gangsters. Instead, they keep catching people who are just living their lives.

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