It’s beyond pathetic. The mainstream media, on the whole, is comprised of feckless cowards and shameless hypocrites.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

People in ICE detention face extreme heat risks in conditions with poor ventilation — this will only worsen as the Trump administration works to nearly double its detention capacity.
The hottest 10% of ICE facilities see an average of 93 days of dangerous heat per year. This is unconscionable.

Rachel Maddow is literally rattling off every city and state that had a No Kings protest against Trump and his fascist authoritarian regime. The list is unbelievably long, including a shitload of red states. She's a half hour into her show and still going. 😂🤣🙌💪👏✊

MAGA Mike’s plaque denial isn’t just stubbornness—it's a tactic. The Anti‑MAGA guide teaches how to use that very defiance as a bait, framing it as betrayal so the crowd feels the crack. Ready to see the strategy in action?
