I have two, simple requests for those who I follow and for those who follow me:
1. Always refer to the Trump administration as the Trump regime.
2. The National Guard, military, and federal agencies occupying U.S. cities must be referred to as occupying forces.

This administration's "unvetted" claim is farcical. Experts confirm the shooter was thoroughly vetted and was even granted asylum under Trump. Their blame-shifting is a transparent lie to hide their own catastrophic security failure.

We must be better than this, and it is profoundly saddening that we are not.
Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

If states enact laws with a provision like this, Citizens United ends:
“Every corporation operating under the laws of this state has all the corporate powers it held previously, except that nothing in this statute grants or recognizes any power to engage in election activity.”

So MTG will be eligible for her pension (that we pay for) when she turns 62 and eligible for her govt healthcare plan (which we pay for) starting right after her last day. So it’s not that magas are against socialism. They’re just against it for anyone that actually needs it.

Republicans crafted an entire midterm strategy around making Mamdani the face of the Democratic Party and portraying him as the most dangerous political figure in American history. Called him a jihadist. Introduced a resolution in the House condemning socialism. All gone now.
