I’m so glad she said this. It needs to be said. We tried twice and America choose the criminal. Now imagine anyone slightly better running against a woman. Probably same result.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

In Northfield, Minnesota, masked ICE GOONS violently abducted a father. The Goons smashed a car window, beat and dragged the man at gunpoint, while his teenage son filmed the incident and begged them to stop. The father has not been seen since. (November 11, 2025)

MAGA Nazi businessmen now control the vast majority of American media. These billionaires have a direct pipeline to the President of the United States of America, something no previous administration (save for #45) has ever had.

Zac Segal, a Boston University student and president of the Young Republicans chapter, thought it was patriotic to call ICE on workers at an Allston car wash. The problem? Many of those workers had valid work documents and no criminal records.

The “Russia hoax” is now their template. Every past investigation becomes a “deep-state plot,” so no future one can be trusted. This is how authoritarian movements rewrite history to protect power instead of truth.

Count the ways they’re corrupting DOJ: Presidents don’t direct AG’s to open criminal cases, especially ones designating only Dems for investigation when POTUS himself is involved. DOJ doesn’t publicize criminal investigations & the AG definitely doesn’t assign them on Twitter.
