The only liar, mentally insane, threat to Democracy, is sitting in our White House masquerading as a President. I am not religious, but if I was, I would be even angrier than I already am when a fake Christian uses a religious holiday to spew drivel and attack others and push hatred.

Don't be afraid to call things by what they are. MAGA is a terrorist organization, ICE is a secret police force conducting Ethnic Cleansing, Elon Musk is an oligarch, and Trump is a foreign backed coup d'état figurehead. This is not an administration, this is a regime, and your country is occupied.

I am tracking 3 separate cases where the government is violating court orders. The question now is whether judges find willfulness and hold officials in contempt.

Jen, the Washington Post are not in the business of telling the truth anymore.
They are owned by Donald Trump. Because their owner is owned by Donald Trump.

I like it here but there are some accounts that act as left-wing hysteria mongers in a way that reminds me of how big right wing influencers on x whip up their bases
remember: a good journalist will make it clear how they source claims
(no, there are not only 3 staffers at yosemite right now)

Elon Musk May Have Your Social Security Number
The billionaire and his DOGE agents were reportedly granted full access to the Treasury’s federal payments system, and nobody knows to what end.

Dems would get much more traction finding and promoting people saying what they know and experience.
