“I think people are realizing it was all a lie. It was a big lie for the people. What MAGA is really serving in this administration, who they’re serving, is their big donors,” Greene said in a Wednesday interview with radio personality Kim Iversen.

Epstein Assistant Told Feds He Introduced Melania to Trump, Files Reveal
The claim was made to agents and prosecutors before Epstein died—and it is a crime to lie to the feds.

Trump is now suggesting nationalizing elections because he realizes he can’t cancel them, as states run their own individual elections. Is this the most dangerous thing he’s ever suggested?

A good thing happened today: Haitians in Springfield, Ohio and elsewhere are (for now) safe from the planned ethnic cleansing operation. This happened because people came together — organizers, reporters, and those who care — and made it happen. Let’s take the win and continue the work.

A multimillionaire thinks that paying down the national debt is so important that all the poors should get into the workforce earlier, work in it harder, and stay in it later to help pay it off.

It's the only possible way to do it!
Dr Oz: "If we could get the average American to start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later -- not retire -- or work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy. That would more than remove the debt."

Pretti’s murder showed that when it comes to guns and gun rights, most defenders of Trump’s pro-fascist police state clearly believe the 2nd Amendment exists to protect conservatives but bind liberals. Or, when necessary, kill them when they’re on the ground...

It was a racist bill built on fear.

Communities organized. Voters activated. The state flipped blue for good. History is repeating itself, and the GOP is walking straight into the same trap.

California Proposition 187: A Cautionary Tale for the GOP

A cautionary tale Republicans refused to learn.

California tried this brand of cruelty. Prop 187 targeted immigrants and pretended it was “law and order.” Teachers and doctors were expected to turn families in. Kids were treated like evidence.

It backfired. Hard.

McCormick: "As it relates to the criminal investigation of Powell, I don't agree with him on interest rates. But I don't think there's any reason to believe there's any criminal activity on his behalf. It would be a tragedy and unfair to the country to hold up this confirmation based on that."

Oklahoma contributes 1% to the U.S. GDP and receives more in federal funds than it pays in federal taxes.

California alone is responsible for approximately 14.5% of the U.S GDP and pays the highest federal taxes (806 billion) and receives less.

Also, who the fuck listens to Lindsey Graham?!

I live in MA and have been wondering about this for awhile. Before Trump started cutting federal funding, we pay more in federal tax than we get back. Now he is trying to destroy our economy with funding cuts and iCE. Why are we paying for this?

Rep. Mark Harris: "Some of these things are nonstarters. Having judicial warrants? To me, hat's a nonstarter. Being able to make off their mask, putting them at risk? That's a nonstarter. I would say anything that's going to hamstring the work of ICE, that's just not going to go anywhere."

I want to know how many unaccompanied minor children this regime has funneled into trafficking. I had seen one report that said the regime has lost 10,000+ immigrant children. The rest like these kids, are at high risk of being trafficked, too.

Where are the GOP "Save The Children" folks now?
DEVELOPING: Advocates are seeking a court order to block the Trump administration’s effort to deport hundreds of unaccompanied minor children to Guatemala.

Judge abruptly moved 3 pm hearing up to 12:30 after she was notified that some children “are in the process of being removed" today.
