They’re moving step by step toward a massive crackdown on progressive organizations, funders & activists, based on literally nothing other than their need to freeze themselves in power.

JD Vance: "Because we have such a big problem with left-wing political violence, we have to train the investigatory and law enforcement powers of the govt to focus on that particular problem ... we really have to retrain the entire govt to focus on this left-wing violence problem. We are doing it."

Bessent’s friends have huge investments in Argentina.

Elon Musk does too.

Bessent is sending $40 billion of our money to Argentina with more to come.

There is zero oversight. Congress not involved.

One unelected man is sending a fortune to Argentina and nobody will stop him,

I sat in the room with Mike Johnson as Epstein’s survivors told their stories. He looked them in the eyes and promised accountability.

Now he’s blocking the vote to release the files. Swear in Congresswoman-elect @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social—now.

Jeffries: "It's perplexing to us that Rs refuse to spend a dime to protect the healthcare of the American people, but somehow the Trump admin found $40b to bail out a right-wing wannabe dictator in Argentina in ways that are also going to continue to hurt our soybean farmers in Iowa & the Midwest"

And we all know what “bless your heart” means in the south. The same thing when cops tell you to have nice day

When college kids publicly say "Israel's war on Gaza is bad" that is full-blown anti-Semitism that requires the federal government to crack down on all colleges.

When Young Republicans in their 20s and 30s privately praise Hitler and "joke" about the Holocaust, well, that's just freedom baby.

Los Angeles just declared a state of emergency over ICE raids. Families in our 32nd District are being hunted for their ethnicity — and Brad Sherman still won’t call to abolish ICE. Silence in the face of injustice isn’t leadership. #AhujaCongress2026 #CA32

Speaking of health, why are you letting this happen on your streets? Where are the Chicago police? Are we going to start taking his seriously when ICE actually kills a baby? This is disgusting and it’s time for LEADERS to stop it.

Chicago: Zero Regard for Safety, ICE Escalation in Chicago Leaves Baby in Harm’s Way

I Love This Post @lovethispost.bsky.social · 12h

Will you speak up about the violence on our streets when a baby is actually killed? I wonder if breathing chemical weapon discharge is good for a baby’s developing lungs?

it seems like violence in the streets - whether it be Gaza or the US - is right up your alley

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.

While I don’t know much about her, she has hidden behind a Bible to justify the bullshit the MAGAs are playing. There is evil in her eye and as a woman, her complicity with the Epstein cover up is disgusting.

We need to keep an eye on her

The DoJ wants states’ voter data, a MAGAt now owns Dominion, SCOTUS may further gut the Voting Rights Act, a 2020 election denier now holds a gov’t “election integrity” post, Trump may invoke the Insurrection Act, and we still don’t know how Elon affected the 2024 election. So we’re doing great.
