I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

It's a revealing moment...
J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost.
The inconsistency reveals this isn’t about economics.

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

"'They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,' [Mamdani] said in an interview with MSNBC last week."
This is the message. Make it clear that these billionaires aren't just worried about losing money. They're worried about losing the ability to exchange their money for power.

Trump hosted a dinner last week for White House ballroom donors.
Then he went to Mar-a-Lago for a $1 million-per-person dinner benefiting his super PAC.
Last night, he treated big GOP donors to dinner on his new White House patio.
The government has been shut down for 22 days.

Pam Bondi is simply no match - intellectually or ethically - for Adam Schiff.
Watch this must-see clip as he dissects and exposes her pathetic performance today.
When she realizes how badly he is rolling her, she tries to interrupt. But it’s to no avail. She knows that he has her dead to rights.

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law.

It sounds conspiratorial to suggest that Vladimir Putin told Donald Trump behind closed doors to launch an assault on mail-in voting in elections administered by the states, and Trump immediately set about mobilizing federal power to do it… but that is literally Trump’s account of what happened.

Ghislaine Maxwell's "willingness to brazenly lie under oath about her conduct ... strongly suggests her true motive has
been and remains to avoid being held accountable for her crimes."
"her willingness to flout the law in order to protect herself."
