MAGA wants to know who's funding the #NoKings2 protests?

The same people who are funding your government benefits, morons:

Of course he is. No one who isn’t named in those files would fight this hard to keep them from the public.

Hey Mike Johnson – the more you facilitate a cover-up and do everything in your power to prevent the release of the Epstein files – the more your constituents, the American public, and the whole world are going to believe you are guilty of the exact same types of crimes as Jeffrey Epstein.

"Halligan is finding out that prosecuting a case is harder than it looks — particularly when that case has already been rejected by seasoned prosecutors as unwinnable. Add in that it will be tried on the fastest federal docket in the US, and you’ve got the makings of a total humiliation in court."

The 1,287,923 defects in the Comey case ... so far

Welcome to the Rocket Docket, Lindsey Halligan!

I’ll keep fighting to make sure everyone can make it and thrive in Illinois.

(AP) — Dozens of reporters turned in access badges and exited the Pentagon on Wednesday rather than agree to government-imposed restrictions on their work, pushing journalists who cover the American military further from the seat of its power.

Mike Johnson isn't Christian.
He proves that every day.
But he IS a numerologist.
He fears 218.

Let’s stop pretending. The issue before the Supreme Court right now is easy to understand: There are still many people on the far right who don’t see Black Americans as equals...they see them through the same filthy slur they whisper when the cameras are off. That's right...that word.

Qatar gave Trump a $400M jet. Trump gave them a military facility on US soil.

The UAE bought $2B of Trump's stablecoin. Trump gave them access to rare AI chips.

Saudi Arabia invested $2B in Kushner's firm. Trump sold them $142B in arms.

If this isn't corruption, what is?

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

“Not going to be great” is quite the understatement by Fox here.

Tweet by FactPost (@factpostnews) reading: “Fox: The tariffs, 10% for lumber, 25% for cabinets, vanities, upholstered furniture. On January 1st, the tariff for cabinets and vanities increase to 50%, all the rest of the furniture to 30%. The cost of building materials has increased 34%. There is a concern that this is not going to be great for the home buying industry.” Below is a Fox Business screenshot showing a reporter in a lumber workshop with the headline “New tariffs on furniture & lumber take effect.”

If y’all refused to say a word about trump for just one day, he’d go crazy and beg you to come back, he’d even offer you money to do so. He needs to be in the limelight.
