BREAKING from PP

The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied:

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

Watching La Cage au Folles, I knew The Birdcage was based on it but I didn’t realize they’re virtually the same movie.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

I haven't had time to read up on the latest shooting, but I'm going to post my incredibly radical position that a shooting is bad no matter who did it and no matter who was shot.

Stop trying to crack the code of a shooter's motives and focus on the one thing they all have in common -- the guns.

Ok, so we can’t use Tylenol in pregnancy anymore…based on pseudoscience.

What’s next - no epidurals?

Because suffering in childbirth is “God’s plan” and “Eve’s punishment"

Stay tuned for the “Thou Shalt Feel The Pain of Childbirth Act" of 2025

Short answer: No.

Long answer: the rapture is not a Biblical concept and nobody knows the future.
