So what do we have? An oligarchy mashed with a kakistocracy littered with facist overtones and gushing Christian nationalism reeking of autocratic despotism sleeping with authoritarianism lead by a malignant narcissistic sociopath. Quite the accomplishment America.

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.
All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.

A string code of ethics and law abiding must be instituted and have teeth.
One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals.
When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.

NEWS: The U.S. Supreme Court will allow the new California congressional map to stand, rejecting Republicans’ bid to block it. It’s a huge win for Democrats heading into the midterms.

ICE has been holding a disabled double amputee named Rodney Taylor in a camp for a year.
He’s been in the US since he was two years old.
It’s all he knows.
When they detained him, they denied him access to new prosthetic legs.
His health is declining.

James Comer is obsessed with hearings. What else does he do? Oh he's a republican, nothing.
James Comer is bringing Hillary Clinton before his committee to testify about Epstein despite having zero contact with him, but not Epstein’s neighbor Howard Lutnick who lied about his connections to Epstein over many years which is proven in the files.

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has warned that an Israeli decision requiring it to end its activities in the Gaza Strip by 28th February would pose a direct threat to patients’ lives and further worsen an already deteriorating humanitarian situation.

He got the law wrong about patronizing sex parties with alleged child trafficking. He failed to redact names of victims & pictures of children. AND he moved Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum-security prison & got her a puppy.
