What's at stake if the Big "Beautiful" Abomination Bill passes.
The top 1% don't need their taxes lowered at the expense of the rest of us, who pay more taxes than billionaires. 💰😠

ICE is on track to be $1 billion over budget. During today's hearing, the Senate Appropriations Committee should grill OMB Director Russell Vought on this apparent overspending.
How did ICE break the bank?

ICE and the DHS have claimed multiple times an increase in assaults against their agents to justify officers wearing masks and refusing to identify themselves.
The data states otherwise.

ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

Instead tonight he's watching every city in America, every town, rise up against him.

The president hasn’t invoked the Insurrection Act. He’s instead relying on a theory of inherent constitutional power that is far more limited.

Terry Moran being suspended by ABC News is ironic given Moran went out of his way to not embarrass Trump over the president’s delusion about the doctored MS13 photo, repeatedly saying ‘let’s agree to disagree’ and ‘let’s move on’ but they still got him suspended. You can’t appease these people ever.

“Motivated by love of country” nah Stephen Miller has been on the record as being motivated by hate since he was literally in high school.
Look how quickly the Vice President of the United States pivoted to portraying Stephen Miller(!) as a victim of the press.
All because a reporter stated the obvious truth about Miller’s hate-mongering.
MAGA = constant victimology and grievances.
