BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.
The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

Nothing more than perceived wealth that doesn’t exist for the purposes of taxes, but magically does for the purposes of leverage. Meanwhile, the rest of us pay real taxes on low wages and can’t leverage shit. The game is rigged. Tax the rich.

'This isn't your granddad's KKK.' Inside the hate group expanding its presence in Tennessee
They are the largest hate group in America, wrapping themselves in the red-white-and-blue of the flag, marching into the middle of American cities and claiming to be patriots.

Federal Law requires the Trump Administration to release the Epstein files to Congress by this Friday, Dec 19.
Does anyone believe that they will comply with the law fully? Or, will they come out with thousands of pages so redacted that they look like black paper, with thousands of photos missing?

There is so much for which to remember Rob Reiner. In my family, we have long treasured this one bit he did with Carroll O'Connor on "All in the Family." It has always made me laugh, no matter how many times I've watched it. And we all could use a good laugh these days

Trump is terrified of what is in the Epstein files. Epstein kept troves of pictures for blackmail only. Let’s not forget that Putin has the those files and is blackmailing Trump. Release those files and Trump will need to resign.
