As it turns out, unaccountable mobs of armed and anonymous goons rampaging through American cities is really unpopular. Who’d a thunk it?
👋 Dems! Vociferous opposition to ICE is not just the right and patriotic thing to do, it is also a winning “kitchen table” concern to the American people.

This YouGov poll on ICE is really eye-opening. Public opinion has really swung against DHS/ICE and their terror regime.

The murder of Renee Nicole Good by DH"SS" agent Johnathan Ross is horrific proof that we need to take ice off our streets.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Congratulations to the 19 states raising the minimum wage in 2026.
But let’s be clear: a $7.25 federal minimum wage is a national disgrace.
No one who works full-time should live in poverty. We must keep fighting to guarantee all workers a living wage — not starvation wages.

It was reprehensible when people mocked condom usage at the height of the AIDS pandemic.
It is just as depraved to mock those wearing masks to reduce the spread of airborne viruses today.
Whenever someone takes any kind of step to protect public health, they should be applauded, not mocked.

When society has a problem it can't solve, the answer is frequently to have the GP do it!
The obv problems with this are that: GP's aren't good at it, and it consumes their time from doing important things.
