Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.
Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

So, who else thinks that the Monday after 7,000,000 flag-waving, constitution-respecting, peaceful Americans from Boston to Boise to D.C. take to the streets to protest his sorry ass would be a good time to once again start impeachment proceedings?

One at a time is good, but not good enough.
Orlando City Commissioner Tony Ortiz just switched from Republican to Democratic.
“The Republican Party is not the party I signed up with... The marginalization of Latinos and immigrants—many of whom have helped build this country—is not leadership. It’s fear-based politics.”

Maybe their next stop should be their local board of elections office?
Exclusive: Immigrants falsely labeled dead by the Social Security Administration are showing up at field offices with documents proving they are alive, leading staff to reinstate nearly three dozen people over the past week, according to records obtained by The Post.
Immigrants prove they are alive, forcing Social Security to undo death label

Regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum, you have to admit that AOC is one of the smartest, and most emotionally intelligent members of congress.
Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Thank goodness - the White House has rescinded the freeze on federal aid! The proof will be in the details. Why did they do it in the first place?; Does the reversal include everything? Lots of questions and concerns remain, but I’ll take the W.

Marc, are you absolutely sure there were no security breeches in this election…I mean all those Starlink satellites up there?
When Democrats lose, they concede. When Republicans lose, they make false claims of fraud.
REPORTER: Will you insist on voter ID as a condition for disaster aid for California?
MIKE JOHNSON: We have been lamenting the lack of voter security there for some time. We were deeply concerned in this last election cycle and we saw 3 of our seats frankly slip away from us in California.
