If you are not mortified by these MAGA parents saying they would not object if Trump used the military to execute their children, you are as brainwashed, dehumanized and deplorable as they are.

Remember that Trump lamented that domestic violence was a crime. This is their version of “masculinity”
I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Seattle Children’s is laying off over 150 staff and slashing hundreds of open positions. Why? Because of Trump and the Republicans' health care cuts. Republicans chose tax breaks for billionaires over care for our kids. This is Trump’s America.

The Senate map suddenly looks a lot better for Democrats. But still not a slam dunk.

The Democratic brand is still in the toilet. But the party is getting some big names to run in tough races.

I’m done with anyone who has an issue with Biden’s physical and mental health or about Harris’ leadership ability and or cognitive acuity. Your giving this idiot a free pass every time says more about you and your true motives than any actual “concerns” you ever pretended to have.
I had heard people refer to this and I assumed they were exaggerating. My bad.
Trump: I solved 6 wars, I am averaging a war per month. Including wars that lasted 500 years.
