Duffy wants to know who is funding Antifa for the No Kings March. He can’t wrap his brain around the idea of people doing something and not being paid for it unless it’s people who don’t count. Millions of people bringing their homemade signs marching peacefully together is a concept beyond him

Over 700,000 southern Arizonans still don’t have representation in Congress, more than three weeks after we elected @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

Democracy means honoring the will of the people. Speaker Johnson must do the right thing and swear her in so she can get to work.

This isn’t business-as-usual military action – it’s murder. There was no public evidence, no due process, and no legal justification. Thoughtless action like this is how we wind up in endless wars and how our service members become targets. This is beyond shameful.

Republicans and Donald Trump would rather see America shut down until we say it's OK to cut Health Care and close hospitals, all in the name of the rich.

Instead of working to get the government open and pay our troops and air traffic controllers and helping his constituents keep their health plans, Mike Johnson has been tasked with helping Trump get the Nobel next year.

I think they are being groomed to be good little NAZIS. I don't mean people I "disagree with." I mean honest to goodness real NAZIS. Where do they get these ideas, eh Stephen Miller?

One of the craziest stories I've seen in a long time. If you think Trump and his administration are extreme and depraved, just wait until you learn about the young guns who are positioning themselves to take over the reigns in the next few decades

Trump said that he thought FEMA wasn't necessary and the State could handle their duties. So I can't help but wonder if this isn't just part of some half baked conception of a plan. Like health care. Everything he touches dies.

The case is Illinois v. FEMA

Trump is counting on you thinking that everyone’s on board with his politicization of the military. He’s wrong - most Americans can see right through it.

Read more here:

The Cost of Trump’s Politicization of the Military

They’ve crossed one line after another since January - and we must not become numb to the mounting damage to our military and national security.
