Republicans gave $132 billion in tax breaks to the top 1% in 2027.

Another great sign from Saturday.
Antifa is not a real organization. It's simply an acronym, a philosophy - it means anti-fascist.
And every element of our Constitution is opposed to fascism.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.
Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.
The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

Trump is obsessed with crime, both real and fictitious, and he wants us to get used to seeing the military on the streets in order to lay the groundwork to not accept the 2026 Congressional election results and use the Insurrection Act to ignore the wishes of the voters.
