The GOP shut down the government. They’re driving up health care costs and refuse to negotiate.

Now Speaker Mike Johnson won’t swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social because it would force a vote to release the Epstein files.

Swear her in, now!

MAGA falls for fake TPUSA halftime lineup promising Kid Rock and ‘Measles’ appearance

‘WOW: It’s official. It’s happening,’ one MAGA influencer tweeted, adding: ‘This is how we win.’

It’s always a certain looking young male Republican. Could the bullying they experienced be central to their racism and misogyny?

Cartoon by @mackinnonart.bsky.social

Cartoon of Trump and President Xi standing either side of a trade line. Trump has used a slingshot/peashooter to fire a tiny stone which has bounced off Xi's forehead. Xi is standing in front of a giant catapult loaded with a big rock.

Media outlets are corporate own entities that do the bidding of their conservative shareholders. They probably won’t sign the MAGA pledge, but it won’t be out of defense for democracy

Playing devil's advocate here, but Broadview is a relatively small municipality with limited liability coverage. They're trying to limit their exposure to suits brought on by clashes that end in violence, brutality, or violation of civil rights.

The exact same type of article was written before Chicago elected Brandon Johnson mayor. As a result, a lot of the cops with multiple abuse complaints left the force

Seriously, Judges *do no do things like this*

They don't give their opinion to the media

They don't criticize how SCOTUS works

This is them breaking the emergency glass, folks

If you're watching the situation in Chicago from afar & want to help, on the off chance you have spare $$, you can give to the Midwest Immigrant Bond Fund, which posts "bond for individuals held in the custody of ICE w ties to IL, IN, KY & WI who cannot afford to pay"
