All of the Republicans who for years railed about "unelected bureaucrats" destroying the government are awfully quiet as an unelected bureaucrat destroys the government.

Was just sent a memo from a DOJ contact. The new AG announced that the DOJ will prosecute private corporations who enact DEI and DEIA policies.

Yes—private corporations😳

This is Project 2025. This is fascism. This will get worse.

The Department of Justice should be renamed The Department of Just Us, with "Us" meaning wealthy white land owning men.

The "again" in MAGA always meant the era of Jim Crow and Antebellum America, and every move this fascist regime has made is devolving the USA to that era.

Only 1 reason they want state run news. They don't want ppl knowing the horrible things they have planned. They don't care about our freedom anymore than they do anthills. We all warned you, you wanted to "own the libs". Now that they have your votes, you're inconsequential. They aren't here for us.
Trump is removing NYT, NPR, NBC, & Politico & replacing them with NYPost, OANN, & Breitbart—known for spreading conspiracies & pushing pro-Trump propaganda.

Here's how we protect ourselves from the forthcoming avalanche of disinformation from state run media:

Yes this is not a “homeless problem” like the right love to remind. We have a greed problem and need to curtail the hungry capitalists appetite. Too bad we didn’t have a monopoly law tht actually works.
Experts warn rents will balloon in wake of LA fires

US Census Bureau reports that USA has ~17M vacant housing units, i.e. 35 vacant units for every homeless person in USA

Our housing shortage & unaffordable housing crisis is majorly due to private equity firms buying & hoarding hundreds of units

First and foremost, resolutions are not laws. There are three types of resolutions: Simple, Concurrent, and Joint. Of these, only Joint Resolutions can lead to a bill that, once passed by both chambers of Congress, is sent to the executive branch to be signed into law.
