So, hear me out on this, I want my taxpayer dollars going to feeding, hungry people, educating kids, and building better roads. I have no desire to buy Donald Trump an island, & last time I checked, the power of the purse, still belonged to Congress.
"Secretary of State Marco Rubio told lawmakers that recent administration threats against Greenland didn’t signal an imminent invasion and that the goal is to buy the island from Denmark, according to people familiar with the discussions."

Trump's DOJ has only released about 5% of the 5 million Epstein files in its possession, many of which were entirely redacted.

This is NOT transparency—it's a brazen coverup & violation of federal law.

Pam Bondi must release all the files NOW. Survivors have waited long enough.

"The administration has styled the boat attacks as acts of war, and has said that makes them lawful. It has styled the military incursion into Venezuelan territory to seize Mr. Maduro as a law enforcement operation, saying the military provided support to the Justice Department."

So, more lies.
Justice Dept. Memo Approved Military Incursion Into Venezuela as Lawful

Attorney General Pam Bondi told lawmakers in briefings this week that the administration would share Office of Legal Counsel memo with them.

If Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.

If you believe that parents have an inalienable right to find and provide appropriate, science-based medical care for their children, here is something YOU can do about it.
The regime has announced two proposed rules intended to make it extremely difficult, if not impossible, for trans youth to receive the healthcare they need.

Your public comments probably won't sway this transphobic regime, but they will be very important for future lawsuits:

The federal government has proposed two new rules that could make it virtually impossible for transgender youth to get the health care they need.

Tony Dokoupil is a know-nothing dipshit, as is his boss. Weiss has failed up so spectacularly that even Tony is jealous.

That is SO embarrassing. My god, have they no self-awareness?
Here's the clip of Tony Dokoupil ending tonight's broadcast by absolutely gushing over "ultimate Florida Man" Marco Rubio.

The part of the minute-by-minute account where people begin to die.
TRAGEDY. After watching an interior Speaker’s Lobby window be broken by her fellow rioters, Ashli Babbitt is killed by a guard trying to climb up and through. Members of Congress can be seen evacuating through the Lobby behind the guard.

A LONG thread giving minute-by-minute account of the day. This is where the violence first has effect.
BREACH! Unprovoked, the MAGA mob defeats the police stationed at Peace Circle. Officer Caroline Edwards is knocked backwards, hits her head, and goes unconscious.

I wish everyone would hear this. It doesn’t have to be this way.
"Iron laws of the world"? Some of America's most important national accomplishments are about leading humanity away from this kind of bullshit.

If we let ideologues like Stephen Miller drag us back into a world where brute force is all that matters, all of us will be less safe.

Important preservation of vital history. Thank you, Kyle.
Five years ago today, we named specific Coloradans who stoked election rigging claims and tried to overthrow the election.

“What those Coloradans did, leading up to today’s insurrection, is on them. Whether the rest of us on Colorado remember what they did, is on us.”

This aired Jan 6, 2021.

Seeing as it’s the 5 year anniversary of Jan 6, & attempts to re-write what occurred continue unabated, I’m re-upping part 7 of my series about Roger Stone & his miscreants. It documents w/ screen shots & quotes much of what transpired. We cannot let them re-write history. @buckscountybeacon.com. 1/

Why do we allow Elon Musk to pollute our culture like this⁉️
Every piece of reporting I've seen on this is drastically understating the scale. These are from Grok's replies within a single minute. Time-to-reply is degrading because it has such a backlog of NCII/CSAM requests to fulfill. Conservatively I estimate it is producing more than 5000 of these per day

Of course it is a terrible policy for America, but it makes more money for the super-rich, so….

Did we expect anything different from a mega-rich sociopath? Perhaps HIS citizenship should be revoked for moral turpitude?
