🚨 Major networks just told Pete Hegseth no.

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

The only part of the United States Columbus ever stepped foot in is Puerto Rico.
. He was never on the mainland. Go ahead, look it up!

Columbus landed in PR on November 19, 1493, during his 2nd voyage, naming it San Juan Bautista (after John the Baptist).
He also did a brief visit to St. Croix.

Texas voters got silenced. The rest of us can’t let that happen again.

Let’s go, California!
Vote YES on Prop 50 and keep elections fair. 🗳️

Besides the measles comeback, diseases like rubella could be on the horizon. Pregnant women who come into contact with a child with rubella risk horrible defects to their unborn baby. The “pro life” party loves to endanger pregnant women and their babies.

If true, maybe the Republican members of Congress need to be made aware of this.

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do.

…getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired.

…betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator.

The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.

They're scared. They're right to be afraid. I'd be scared, too, if 10-15 million people were about to organize a march and shout out loud to tell me they hate what I'm doing.

This morning I was filming ICE abducting sometime in Petworth. One of the agents told me "the last US citizen that did this he put in cuffs all the way to the courtroom".

As ICE terrorizes communities, remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies that will make bank off his budget bill.

And Stephen Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target immigrants.

Cashing in on cruelty.

“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”
