Trump’s revenge is a house of cards. There is no plan, no future for the U.S. His anger over losing to Biden is focused on everyone, not just liberals. Will Congress ever take back their power? We the people have power, use your voice and protest.

I haven't taken a goddamn DOLLAR in disability funds and I have *NEVER* requested any kind of accommodations.

Everything I make that I can give away for free I do. I make search tools you can't find anywhere else.

YOU SHOULD BE GLAD I'M HERE INSTEAD OF MAKING ME FEEL LIKE A FUCKING ALIEN.
It's absolutely disgusting what the New York Times, and particularly Azeen Ghorayshi, is doing with its coverage of autism. It's so deeply irresponsible.

It's the same playbook they ran on trans kids.

The prospect of Trump/Thune/Johnson failing and losing the House majority next November will shape the mindset of Cabinet leaders and elected officials as they plan their future.

Democratic control brings subpoena power—the authority to compel testimony, demand documents, and drive investigations.

The targeting of Mark Kelly isn’t politics...it’s the sick new normal created by a movement that can’t win arguments, only intimidate. When public servants become targets, freedom isn’t next in line… it’s already in danger. Fortunately, the outrage is intensifying rapidly.

A federal judge just nuked Trump’s indictments of James Comey and Letitia James, not on the facts, but because the “prosecutor” Trump sent in was never legally a U.S. Attorney at all.

The Trump economy is being propped up by a giant speculative bubble of AI and crypto, with a small group of people getting insanely wealthy and everyone else getting screwed while the Mad King tells us everything is great and everyone is thriving.

A new report shows that more than 40% of New York City families can't afford their food costs.

The Poverty Tracker Report also shows that one in three adults in New York City doesn't have enough money for food.

CNBC: My understanding is the White House said that China was gonna buy 12 million tons of soybeans from the US by January. That's approaching and they've only purchased 332,000. China has not confirmed that pledge.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.

Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.

Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

Europe is panicking. Russia is smirking. China is silent.
When these three things happen at once, it means the power map is being redrawn.
And the U.S. just stepped into a weaker position than it wants anyone to notice.👇👇👇
