This administration keeps torching the Hatch Act—propaganda videos in airports, partisan emails on federal servers, even mass firings. It’s corruption with a flag pin. See something? Say something. Expose it through the whistleblower tip line.

ICE targeted an apartment building near my home. Masked agents in unmarked cars. I've said this before. Democratic Governors & Mayors need to order their local police depts to arrest any & all unidentified & masked alleged ICE agents.

This anonymous denial of due process is deadly.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Exposing that the Young Republicans are actually the reincarnation of the Nazi party and Hitler Youth.

People should know.

These monsters represent a clear and present danger to everybody who is not "one of them".

This bound to go too far. I live in one of the most segregated cities in this country for more than 45 years, and I have never seen the racial division worse than it is now. When I tell you if looks could kill… in the burbs it gets so intense you see it in the kids. This country may never recover.

They've started that off the coast of Venezuela, in case you haven't noticed that is their warning to US here. If there are no consequences for murdering fishermen in the open waters, doing same on Main St USA should be no problem

Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.
