You’re offered so much, but you’re frightened to take it.

We’re more than a year away from midterms and 3+ from the next presidential election (presuming we have them) and I see it’s already “this Democrat doesn’t 100% meet my purity test, therefore they’re no different than Trump” season 🤦🏻♂️
This *only* helps Republicans.

Poll taxes are unconstitutional. Any i.d. that is required to vote has to be provided by the government.
This is a way to disenfranchise the poor.
Call your senators.

Ok, the first 20,000 times I saw the Owen Wilson Olympic setup in his tv room commercial was enough. More than 20,000 times is going too far.

AOC on Bondi: “The redactions of the names of perpetrators, the holding of 3 million files, the unexplained moving of Maxwell into a new cushy facility—
All of these things are what she personally oversaw, & that’s before even digging into whatever questions may arise from her history in Florida”

Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped.

The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, but the administration has continued jailing people indefinitely.

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L59wZJZY

I realize media doesn’t think it’s a big deal that Trump, Vance & Hegseth continue to give partisan political speeches to troops, evidenced by the fact that they are never asked about it nor are members of Congress, but it is one of the most dangerous things happening right now.

When someone says their country executes pedophiles and you respond by claiming that they are calling for the execution of Donald Trump, you are revealing that you know Donald Trump is a pedophile.

WOW. Incredible. This is the case in which DHS claimed that ICE officers had been attacked with a shovel and fired back in self-defense. Evidence since suggests an ICE officer fired through a closed door and struck someone on the other side.
Will DHS retract the prior claims?
