This entire article is, unsurprisingly, kicked off by Brett Kavanaugh and includes this: "A spokesperson for Kavanaugh did not return an emailed request for comment."

BREAKING from PP

We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens*

The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied:

Meh. Same shit as J. Edgar Hoover, Nixon, Joe McCarthy, both Bushes, Reagan, Falwell, Dole, Gingrich, and the lesser figures like Lester Maddox, Bull Connor, Richard M. Daley, and a host of others. They have been Nazis for the last hundred years.

Well, if you go by Kohlberg and a few other child development specialists, he actually functions in the 3- 4 yoa bracket.

Fat, ugly, and stupid is no way to go through life, kids.
Also, please quit having your mother dress you. She has really, really poor taste and really has no idea how to properly suit a morbidly obese incel.
Thanks for your attention to this matter.
And never wear brown shoes with a blue suit.

My first protest was in '67. Since then, every time there is a "riot", it has been the cops who started it.

🚨IRS, FBI, Federal Marshals, MPD, DEA, ICE, HLS, and ATF here to “investigate” this woman. Suspicious for being black? The regime has made their white supremacism clear. The time for us to reject it is NOW!

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Just for sake of wondering: If we took that $40B and distributed it to every adult American who makes less than $100K per year? How much would each of them get?
