If trump did nothing “concerning” while spending time with sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein - as Ghislaine Maxwell says - then there shouldn’t be a problem releasing the Epstein files in their entirety (with survivors’ names and PII redacted.)

A gentle reminder that the VA getting rid of 30,000 people instead of 80,000 people isn’t a win.

We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

While I appreciate the "lock him up" and "impeach him" sentiments (and I'm with you), if Mueller, Garland, and impeachment taught us anything, its that 1) SCOTUS is corrupt and 2) We have to do this ourselves. As I've been saying for nearly 8 years: it's up to us. Always has been.

Crockett: Right now, it seems like you don’t care about the constitution unless it’s the second amendment and that’s misinterpreted as well. There’s other amendments.. And we don’t get to just change it because our fearless leader says that he doesn’t like it

Not quite. Habeas Corpus is not just for American citizens or people who are here legally, @slotkin.senate.gov. It would be helpful to remind everyone that the Constitution protects ANY person that's in the United States. Not just citizens.
U.S. Sen. Slotkin (D-MI) to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem after she botched the definition of habeas corpus:
“You sat here in front of all of us and swore an oath to the constitution, and that is not at all what habeas corpus is. It’s a right we all get, that American citizens get…"

If South Africa is a sovereign nation, how are we able to send our own planes we paid for to transport white Afrikaners to the U.S., but simultaneously unable to send a plane to return Abrego Garcia et al?

No. We’re not going to fire federal workers one day and build a makeup area the next. Hegseth can put his makeup on at the red lights on his way to work like the rest of us.

ELECTION RESULT: A team of city council members in Rolla, Missouri, have been pushing anti-LGTB policies, including a ban on drag shows and book censorship.
Voters just ousted all three of these city councilors who were running for reelection, backing candidates backed by a local LGBT group.

It never ceases to amaze me that the people who insist the Ten Commandments should be on every wall of every building also go hard against LGBQ and trans people (which is not in the commandments) but will double down on sharing posts that are proven lies - which is.

What president musty is doing by tearing apart whole departments is like finding a nail in your tire so you rip all four of them off and throw the spare in the dumpster. Sure, the leak is gone, but now you can’t drive your car and you look like a fool for proudly proclaiming you’ve stopped the leak.
