I watch the bulk of ashleythebaroness videos, despite rarely sharing them.

And she's right! We're not dealing with some foreign ideology. We're dealing with a uniquely American phenomenon.

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

To be very clear, Virginia Giuffre was made to say she mistakenly identified Alan Dershowitz as one of the people who sexually abused her. Here is the proof from this week's Epstein files dropped by the House Oversight Committee.

This is your master race ladies and gentleman
Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism.
Some of the ringleaders are below: We live in a world where 4chan types now occupy positions of real power.

If Democrats ever get power again there needs to be a proper reckoning. Criminals need to be indicted, prosecuted and convicted for trying to subvert our democracy and rights for Trump.
There is no room for Merrick Garlands and milquetoast centrists anymore.
You need accountability.

Tammy Duckworth is a badass. Always has been.
Duckworth to Hegseth: "You are blowing through money like my fellow cadets and I did in our first liberty after basic camp. Luckily I didn't end up with a questionable tattoo ... you're just an unqualified yes man who can't tell the president how to keep Americans safe."

250 years ago tonight: Paul Revere's ride, made famous by Longfellow in 1861 reminding us to fight for freedom.
LISTEN, my children, and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year

“They walked the full length of the train and questioned every single passenger about their citizenship status. According to the conductor, who has worked nearly 40 years on that route, this was a first. In all his decades of service, federal agents have never boarded his train like this.”
A co-worker of mine (who is a judge), traveled by train from Montana to North Dakota for work this week. The train made a stop in Havre, MT, where ICE agents—armed and dressed in full military-style tactical gear—boarded the train.

Instead of focusing on lowering prices "on Day One," Trump's asinine tariff policy and erratic behavior have produced uncertainty in the markets and among businesses of all kinds, as he destroys at lightning speed the economy Biden rebuilt after the Donald's first disastrous term.

The stupidity in Trump’s new tariffs is apparently limitless.
He has introduced a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory.
The only inhabited island there is Diego Garcia, home to US service personnel.
