One day. That’s the slap in the face the DOJ is calling “accountability” in Breonna Taylor’s case.
Now they want to act like civil rights charges were too much? Please be for real.
If you’re wondering how little they value Black lives—look no further.

DOJ seeks one-day sentence for officer in raid that killed Breonna Taylor

This is not just about Texas.
This is about power, control, and rigging elections before a single vote is cast.
They’re trying to redraw the maps, and rewrite the rules.
Let me remind them: they took an oath to the Constitution, not to Trump—and map manipulation is voter suppression.

To reiterate an obvious point: The military operation in MacArthur Park was farcical. But it also reveals a habit of thinking and acting by major government organizations dangerous to a free society. What starts as farce can end as tragedy.

Mr. President, you love playing the schoolyard bully but, at age 79, it’s time to cut it out. It’s one thing to steal one kid’s lunch money, but your bill STEALS LUNCH MONEY FROM MILLIONS OF KIDS. Now, that’s real ugly.

i'm open to ideas but there isn't much you can do with minorities in both chambers of Congress. the Trump Big Bill cake was baked as soon as voters gave Republicans total control last November. Trump ran on concepts of a plan, won, and now here come the consequences.

To vote for this bill is to vote to starve and kill Americans, and to saddle those who survive with a mountain of debt and a hotter globe. That is a policy choice. And everyone who votes yes owns that choice.

Republicans are still trying to pass their Big Betrayal Bill.
They held the previous vote open for hours—and STILL don’t have their shit together.
Maybe the problem isn’t the vote count. Maybe it’s the bill.
You can hold the vote open all night…trash is still trash.

The Paramount deal proves just how weak Trump's lawsuit was. It's hard to claim $20 billion in damages, then settle for 0.08% of that and call it a win. But Team Trump is declaring victory anyway – and this chest-puffing statement is exactly why CBS reporters did not want the company to settle:
