It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

Last year, under Biden/Harris, the United States was the economic envy of the world. Today, under Trump/Vance, Americans are buying food on credit! WTF, America!

The Republicans literally do not care if you live, die, can’t afford food, housing, or healthcare. This isn’t greatness. This is stupid!
More and more families are taking on debt, especially as buy now, pay later services like Klarna and Affirm become more widely available. And they’re not taking on debt to pay for bigger, luxury items. trib.al/OwPcXSZ
What Does It Mean to Be in an “Affordability Crisis”?
Democrats are running on fixing it. Trump is running from it. But what does this year’s trendy political buzzword really mean?

The way the mainstream media cleans up Trump’s racist tirades has long passed the “they’re just making mistakes” phase. This is actively aiding and abetting a racist, tyrannical regime. The ‘mainstream media is the enemy.

Correct. Journalist Katherine Stewart calls them "reactionary nihilists" in her most recent book. Yes, perfect descriptor. That is exactly what they are.

Chic hits #1 today in 1978 with “Le Freak”, a song originally titled “F**k Off!” — and written after the band was turned away by the bouncers at Studio 54.

“We go back to my apartment really pissed off,” said Nile Rodgers, “and Bernard starts singing, ‘Ahhh, f**k off!’ .. and that became the hook.”
