And another thing. There’s nothing “conservative” about overhauling the entire federal government, which is what Project 2025 mandates. We’re only one (1) year into this nightmare and the Heritage Foundation’s Christian White Nationalist government transformation is already 48% complete.

Sad times.

I repeat…do not trust these never-trumpers and “former” Republicans. Sorry, but they keep proving that they’re incapable of any meaningful change in their beliefs, values, or observations of reality.

I rest my case. 😏

All 3 of these tech companies laid off so many Americans to appease their shareholders insatiable greed.

Those tax breaks?

We are paying for it.

Remember the lie that they NEEDED tax break incentives to create jobs?

Good morning tired Americans, just a word about some of you helping further dissolution with saving our Democracy. By using the eight Senators who voted to end this awful shutdown, to condemn the whole party. Don't be footsoldiers for GOP fuckery.

In Bovino's upside down world, there is no difference between an armed gang member preying on others in his community and a guy working 12 hours a day washing cars, flipping burgers, or installing sheetrock to feed his family — and he wants you to hate and fear both men equally.
Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

NEW: Trump officials held a Situation Room meeting with a House Republican who signed on to release the Epstein files.

This comes amid reports that Trump has been personally calling Republicans who support the effort.

He’s scrambling.

We tried to warn folks. Bullies with badges and guns are out here terrorizing American citizens.

Police are protecting ICE and making up the rules as they go. As citizens are facing financial hardship and losing healthcare, our tax dollars are funding domestic terrorism.

This is Compromise of 1877 thinking. Whites agreed to end Reconstruction to return to normalcy. Meanwhile, it took Black Americans almost 100 years to regain access to the voting booth along with other rights that were supposedly protected by the Constitution.

A new normal will have to be built.
Once he IS GONE, it will take a while but we will have a semblance of normalcy again. Kind of like what happened after he left the 1st time. But this time hopefully things will be put in place so we do not Ever go through this nightmare again.
