I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump and MAGA did Jan 6 2021 and what Dems are NOT doing today!

If you haven’t seen it, this is the video.

It’s a serious problem that our government can respond to this video and claim that we didn’t see what we all saw.
Here’s video of federal agents doing a drive by pepper spraying that hit a father and his one-year old on Saturday when the Feds were hitting Little Village and Cicero

The president had a MRI but won't say why.

He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why.

He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical.

He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it.

How is any of this ok?

New from me: I’ve been asked a lot, and I finally had time to put together a short explainer for both the legal and tactical considerations of Trump’s strikes in the Caribbean and Pacific.

What are the nice things about Blue sky is I didn't even have to make the effort to go and block the new White House account. It was already blocked for me

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.
Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:

“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“

The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand:

$678M raised through those spam tactics

$282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies.

$11M to actual campaigns (1.6%)

The party isn’t just treating donors like marks—it’s being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.

Donald Trump bragged of grabbing women by the pussy, walked in on undressed Miss Teen USA contestants, was found liable for sexual assaulting E. Jean Carroll, and was convicted of hiding payoffs to a porn star. Here's why the Epstein allegations are fake.

so we are freeing and giving a visa to a guy with an actual criminal history of being a danger to those around him so he can testify against a dude with no record who got picked up kinda by mistake
The Trump admin has freed Jose Hernandez Reyes because he can testify against Abrego Garcia.

Hernandez, who has been deported 5 times, has also been arrested for:

—DUI w/ a handgun;
—cocaine possession;
—illegally transporting migrants; and
—drunkenly firing a gun.

I feel like I'm losing my mind. Here is the transcript of what Zohran Mamdani actually said about the phrase "globalize the intifada." This is his "refusal to disavow it." This is what has people terrified. Just fucking read it.

I was adopted via closed adoption, born in North Carolina.

It was closed so I have no knowledge of or access to my biological mother’s details. It also means my biological mother isn’t on my birth certificate.

So if birthright citizenship becomes a patchwork right, what’s someone like me to do?

As we head to Election Day, for folks who voted early, thank you. I know some folks have not yet made up their minds. I am making an appeal to you.

Please do not rank Cuomo. I have worked with every single one of the candidates for mayor. I will tell you he does not like us.
