This is a pedophilephile administration with a predator at the top.
NEW: When Andrew Tate landed in the US, Customs & Border Protection seized his electronic devices. But @propublica.org found that a White House official told DHS to return the devices, emphasizing that the request came from the White House.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

So pissed
feel like not nearly enough people are talking about this — apparently the democratic “yes” votes have effectively agreed to having the u.s. government write 6 republican senators $500k checks?
Look at this new outrage. To open govt, we're retroactively letting 8 Senators sue for $500K each over having had their J6 phone toll records looked at. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...

This hidden provision is so crooked and selfish, it doesn't even apply to US Representatives. Just US Senators.

Nearly everyone has an election next Tuesday. Some are small, like for county measures. Some are big, like California's Prop 50 (Yes on 50).
I encourage you to watch this video with the sound on and carry these screams with you as you vote for progressive policy in any way you can.

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

It has been said before, but it bears repeating: the elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security aren’t bankrupting America. It’s tax-evading billionaires like Trump who are bleeding this country dry.

These costs are sucking chest wounds to the average American, and will be impossible to weather. This, alongside the AI bubble, the housing market bubble, the loss of jobs, encroaching inflation, and every other batshit thing Trump does, will lend itself to a cataclysmic cascading failure.
