I consider myself a fairly patient person, but I can't listen to another second of this ridiculous, wheezing idiot. I'm done. Nothing he is saying aligns with anything that is really happening in the real world.

This has the votes to pass with bipartisan support, but Johnson is going to adjourn the House again to delay it as long as possible just like he did with Epstein.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.
The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

Time for implementation of national gun laws. None of this state jurisdiction nonsense. Why did one of the perpetrators have six firearms? What possible justification could there be?

ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.
Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.
They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.
Another horrific story.

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American.
Two options:
1) ICE deliberately targeted him.
2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens.
Hard to say which option is scarier.

Zelenskyy says talks with the U.S. on Ukraine-held Donetsk are “extremely sensitive and very heated.” He questions proposals for buffer or economic zones, asking why Ukraine should withdraw troops without Russia pulling back the same distance from occupied territory.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
