Concentration camps on American soil. Masked agents terrorizing our neighbors and abducting people off the streets to fill them.

As if that weren’t horrific enough—some so-called “Christians” are cheering it on like it’s some kind of twisted, dehumanization porn.

What the hell have we become?

Democrats cut child poverty nearly in half by expanding the Child Tax Credit.

Republicans’ Big, Beautiful Bill denies 22 million low-income kids the full benefits they deserve—while also robbing 16 million kids of their free school lunches.

It's billionaires before kids.

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.

Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".

Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

FUN FACT: Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

Long rumored affair between Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski just gets more gross. Of all places for Lewandowski to end up in the Trump Regime it's travelling with Puppy Killer. Oh and this is her husband Bryon. Wonder how he feels about his wife's travelling companion?

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses.

Immigrants, by contrast, did not.
ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

In today's edition of we f*cking told you so...

The GOP’s latest budget proposal does not cut the deficit.

The plan would add TRILLIONS to the deficit by 2034, locking in tax cuts for the wealthy while slashing Medicaid and nutrition assistance.

There's a lot going on in the world at the moment... and how's the Senate spending its time?

We're voting on Jared Kushner’s dad (a convicted felon who Trump pardoned) to be Ambassador to France, sending a billionaire convicted felon (and relative) to serve as a top diplomat.

DOGE cut off Social Security Administration spending so now workers have to use their own money to buy office supplies.

Meanwhile Elon Musk makes $8 million every single day from the government.
How DOGE’s grand plan to remake Social Security is backfiring
The agency is abandoning an initiative aimed at preventing fraud, the latest example of a failed effort by Elon Musk’s disruptive cost-cutting team.

To fund Trump’s expiring tax cuts for the wealthy, the GOP is proposing a massive $715 billion cut to Medicaid. They’re calling it reform, but make no mistake: it’s just another transfer of wealth from those who have the least to those who have the most.

Republicans are lying about what’s driving their Medicaid cuts

The Founders never imagined a hopelessly corrupt President, Judiciary and Congress working in concert to destroy the rule of law. They could not foresee so many faithless and amoral public servants working in concordance instead of acting as checks and balances. And that's how we lost America.
