No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny.
But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

Imagine if Obama or Biden were pocketing tens of millions of dollars while they were in office.
Imagine if Obama or Biden pardoned people who violently attacked the Capitol to prevent a Republican from taking office.

At least six independent inspectors general fired by Trump all have one thing in common: their agencies investigated Elon Musk's corporations.
Musk's crusade against the government isn't about "waste" or "efficiency."
It's about shielding himself from accountability.

One reason Musk might be so driven to shut down USAID?
The agency's inspector general opened a probe into Starlink last year.
Now the Trump administration says Musk will self-determine his conflicts of interest.

What happened to the Republicans? They once stood for law and order. But today, the party has taken their position: standing with violent insurrectionists over the people who keep us safe from them.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.
