I like to read the bills in the US House and NC House myself rather than rely on the media to tell me what to think about them. It has been revelatory.

No DM's, porn, crypto, or gofundme.

The GOP not only voted against this, but they passed HR 2811, Limit, Save, Grow Act, which is a wish list for the oil & gas industry. Check it out for yourself you can find it on congress.gov
Maga elites have lied to keep their big tax cuts at all of our expense.

This is the full 60 Minutes interview that CBS pulled.
Please share and watch. We need to know what this regime is trying to hide. Resistance is the only way we get back our democracy!

If CBS and Bari Weiss are trying to prevent the masses from seeing this 60 minutes segment by banning it in the United States, I made it a point to watch. And after watching it, it’s my duty to share ...

This is yet more damning evidence. How much does it take ti bring the rich and powerful to justice? We have a 2 tier justice system, that's for sure
This was definitely in the DOJ dump — at least temporarily. We need to REPOST and SHARE the crap out of this and any other reports on it. This is Epstein telling a fellow pedo that Trump was one of them.

TURN UP THE HEAT!

Another question l have for my US representatives. Are you proud to have voted for this?
More people have died in ICE detention in 2025 than any year since 2004.

The government has a legal and moral obligation to provide people in its custody with medical care and livable conditions.
Four ICE detainee deaths in four days spark alarm as arrests grow
At least 30 detainees have died in 2025, prompting concerns about deteriorating conditions at facilities even as the agency has received an infusion of cash from Congress.

Birthright citizenship has been part of our constitution for over 150 years. The Trump administration wants to change that. Here are the facts: bit.ly/44Tm6Mn
Birthright Citizenship Under the U.S. Constitution
The 14th Amendment has long been understood to grant American citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil.

Imagine that, Trump's name was redacted from the files Bondi released.
We suspected that the Trump DOJ would give us a doctored version of the Epstein files to protect Trump

Now we know-that’s EXACTLY what they apparently did

Plus they tried to scapegoat Bill Clinton-who none of us would have defended anyway

Pam Bondi must resign-and should probably be disbarred

The FBI covered up allegations about Epstein in 1996 when Bill Clinton was in his 2nd term. This has always been about the rich and powerful abusing the law and getting away with it.

NEW: The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead.

Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations.

The GOP would have you believe there's no money for social programs, even SS where 12% of our income is set aside every month for us, by us and our employers.
This is obscene. Why can't other politicians say that?

The 25 richest families are collectively $358.7 billion richer than a year ago, with a combined fortune totaling $2.9 trillion.

Spot on.
Oligarchy (noun):

A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

These for profit detention centers receive $150 /day of taxpayer money and then putting the detainees to work at $1/day. It's slavery.
🎯 CIVIL RIGHTS LAWYER @oliverma2026.bsky.social: “The detention centers are run by private prison companies (like @CoreCivic) — they make millions PER PERSON… that’s why they’re looking for anybody brown, so they can keep stealing from taxpayers.”

It's not socialism when Congress has large daily food spending and the best health insurance available with low premiums. It's only socialism when it applies to us.
It's disgraceful that retired people who have worked and paid their taxes and now receive Social Security must continue to pay taxes while the richest corporations and their owners are protected from paying a F..king dime, why? People stop voting Republicans who don't give a F..k about our welfare!

My mother ended up in nursing homes after hospital visits and the care in some of those facilities was awful. Patients were left for hours without help. I can't imagine what will happen when the patient to caretaker ratio is allowed to go up.
