ABOLISH ICE and EXPAND THE SUPREME COURT should be mainstream Democratic promises and talking points.

But timidity and civility will rule the day and screw the rest of us and this country in the end.

Major news outlets are standing together and refusing to sign. ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News have all rejected a new Pentagon policy that would impose unprecedented restrictions on news gathering.

South Park really went in on Peter Thiel, his weird obsession with the Antichrist, and his close relationship with JD Vance.

The conservative cable channel One America News Network (OANN) appears to be the only outlet that has so far come forward publicly to say it signed the Pentagon policy.

I believe that is the Pastor who, while praying, was SHOT IN THE HEAD w/a pepper ball. I hope he sues the government for these brutal assaults. He's done nothing to deserve any of this.

NEITHER HAS ANYONE ELSE. 🖕

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

All the press reporters have handed in their press badges to the Pentagon, even Fox propaganda News handed in their press badges. The regime is losing control. We the People are fighting back. The regime is going to increase the violence to try to get us back down. Don't stop the resistance.

We all saw who Trump was when he was campaigning in 2015. He told us he likes chaos in his companies so that everyone has to go to him to clear things up; his six corporate bankruptcies; his numerous accusations of sexual misconduct; his family's slumlord status in NYC. Surpised? Jeez Louise.

It's pretty clear who hates America. It certainly isn't the inflatable menagerie in Portland.

Which group hates America again?
The people in inflatable costumes and protesting the brutality of ICE, or the people who attacked the Capitol building on Jan 6th?

Swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva. Now!

Ask Mike Johnson why he fears 218.

PBS News @pbsnews.org · 17h

House Speaker Mike Johnson insisted Tuesday that he would not swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva until Democrats relent and end the government shutdown.

Grijalva, speaking alongside Democrats, including Sen. Mark Kelly, on Wednesday, said the delay “is not procedural. It’s intentional.” 🧵

Trump just upped his bail-out for Argentina from $20 billion to $40 billion. Argentina has government run healthcare that's available to all Argentinians.

Yet Trump has shut down the American government while trying to take healthcare away from millions of Americans.

What say you, Republicans?

Trump was president on January 6th, 2020. So, is he now in late-stage dementia – or does he think his followers are exactly this stupid?

Maybe it's just me but if someone changed their "Department of Defense" to the "Department of War" I don't really think they should ever be considered for a Nobel Peace Prize because they really aren't into the idea of peace.
