My tax money going to pay the family of a terrorist.
This is f*cked up.
Awarding $5M to the family of Ashli Babbitt is a disgrace to the memory of those who defended democracy on Jan 6th.
It dishonors Capitol Police, Metropolitan Police, and especially those who lost their lives or were severely injured protecting the peaceful transfer of power.

Dr. Noor Abdalla will be spending her first Mother's Day as a mom without her husband Mahmoud Khalil, who is still locked up hundreds of miles away from her in ICE detention.
He should be holding his son who he hasn't met yet, but he is instead detained without due process by the U.S. government.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented.
His argument fails even on its own terms.

The latest Fed survey shows how companies are responding to higher tariffs, and the top response is that companies are passing cost increases through to consumers.

So far, in 2025, we have had the most aircraft related fatalities in the US since 2001.
And yes, we are referring to 9/11.
