Kristi Noem has been holding up FEMA funding for Americans in need all year.

But now she wants to spend $172M in taxpayer money on luxury jets for her own use.

Sheer corruption.

“Trump says it plainly: Crimes don’t count if you ‘vote Republican,’” said one Democratic congressman. “Just like his pardons of those who violently attacked police.”

I feel like George Santos exemplifies a lot of what’s broken in the “justice” system. He was a corrupt politician, he briefly experienced the horrors of inhumane prison conditions, then the corrupt president moved to yank him out—and his victims received none of what they were owed in the process

Show them why they're in the wrong neighborhood! You'd think JD Vance would've told them that we're not hostile, we just block & ignore the assholes that are ripping our country apart. They have no home here. Go back to shitter w/ the bots!

Hey media and experts who believed Trump was "coming around" on Ukraine even though each previous time you thought that, he was just stalling as Putin's Whore and yet you fell for it again? Go fuck yourselves. And quit.

We can’t pay air traffic controllers during the shutdown, making us less safe, but we can send $40 billion to bail out Argentina.

Make it make sense.

Folks we need this picture of Angelo Elia and his swastika embedded into the American flag to go viral. This shithead works for Congressman (R) Dave Taylor’s office . Angelo needs to be fired for this. An investigation is ongoing, but not enough.
