Did you hear that almost a half million people have died already because of the illegal DOGE removing USAID? Half are children.

I recall the orange convicted felon once saying people would stand in long lines begging for food if Kamala Harris became President.
Now in 2025 people are seen in Cleveland and other cities standing in long lines for food due to his cruelty.
Endless projection. I hate him.

Question for Senator Jones: “Will you run for governor?”
Doug Jones: “I guess I walked into that one, didn’t I? Stay tuned.”

incredible that these guys have a massive hard on for a country that, if it were a state, would rank behind kansas in terms of wealth and which would be a total backwater if it weren’t economically integrated with more functional countries

Trump's tariffs are hurting us in two ways:
First, the obvious: Higher costs → either lower profits or higher prices.
Second, more subtle (perhaps bigger): We’ve signaled we’re an unreliable partner, so allies are reorganizing supply chains to avoid us. That's hard to unwind.

ICE is inflicting a lifetime of trauma on families. And it’s being carried out in the name of the United States of America.

If you truly worry we're headed for fascism, then watch the 1969 movie "Z", a barely-veiled retelling of the 1963 assassination of Greek politician Lambrakis, made two years after the junta took power. It was on TCM last night, but I saw it as a kid after being in Greece in that time. /1

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC
I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.
I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.
