Watch this quick explainer on the Hatch Act and you’ll see just how far the regime has gone—propaganda in airports, partisan emails, and political orders from the top.

It’s not “messaging,” it’s a full-blown assault on the law that keeps our government nonpartisan.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

I’ve been sitting with this the last few hours. It’s really hitting me just how fucking depraved you have to be to respond to an inquiry about an abducted child with a screenshot of a post on elon musk’s hellsite smearing this kid who has no ability to defend himself. It’s unfathomable.

Representative-elect Grijalva DOES NOT WANT "pomp-and-circumstance."

Since her victory weeks ago, she has been VERY clear that all she wants is for Speaker Johnson to swear her in so she can sign the Epstein petition and begin serving Arizona's 7th District.

Americans are sick of the excuses.
