I hate to break it to you, but heavily-armed government militias are roaming unchecked through US cities and shooting human rights observers dead in the streets. That's happening in our country.

Zelenskyy: "They [Russians] see our lines - our interceptor lines, which we are using quite effectively - and they are trying to bypass them. They are doing it, by the way, with the help of Belarus - Belarusian territory - and technically with the assistance from Belarus as well."

Every Democrat running for office needs to promise investigations and full prosecutions from top to bottom, remove its funding bloat then break up the agency and distribute its core remaining useful functions across other agencies.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

In 2004, someone (probably Karl Rove) had 6 fake documents about George W. Bush’s time in the Texas Air National Guard sent to CBS News.

Once Dan Rather reported on them, the documents were promptly revealed as fakes — effectively discrediting of all other evidence of GWB being a drunken failson.
1. Keep your eye on the ball, people

That Epstein-Larry Nassar letter has fake written all over it -- N. Virginia postmark, after JE's death, in a handwriting that appears not his own

It's hard not to think DOJ WANTED this out there to then be debunked and thus discredit every mention of Trump...

Disastrously stupid. Incredibly destructive to the US and the State Department. Important to make sure that Rubio gets his full share of the blame for the devastation to American diplomacy and security that he has personally overseen.

If you accept Blanche’s unreal and absurd lie attempting to masquerade as logic, then Blanche better start hauling ass and move every federal inmate whose life is being threatened to Maxwell’s minimum security camp.
WELKER: Why was Ghislaine Maxwell moved just days after you interviewed her?

BLANCHE: That's a Bureau of Prisons security issue that I will not talk about

WELKER: Did you have anything to do with it?

BLANCHE: I am responsible for the Bureau of Prisons, so every decision they make lands on my desk

For those of us warning about democracy's potential disintegration, the decision by CBS to pull an exhaustively researched 60 Minutes piece, critical of Trump, is another red alert moment.

When truth disappears as the media gets coopted by the regime, there's little left.

As energy demand and prices both continue to rise, Trump has decided to pause ongoing and expensive offshore wind projects — including Empire Wind 1 in NY-10 — that would power 2.5M homes & businesses.

This decision is stupid, shortsighted, and puts China first and America last.

Since 2000, political donations from the richest 100 Americans have increased nearly 140x.

They collectively spent over $1B in 2024, amounting to 1 in every 13 dollars spent during the election.

Is it any wonder why so many regular people feel like they no longer have a voice?

Trump, Musk, and the GOP killed hundreds of thousands of kids around the world.

That should be a major story and talking point.

They cut USAID to "save" from "waste," but gave 40 billion to Argentina and threw a Great Gatsby party and let Kash Patel burn our money for his honeypot GF.

Good morning.

Last night was a referendum on Trump's corruption, cruelty, and chaos.

But it's also not a coincidence these big wins came at the exact moment when Democrats are using our power to stand for something and be strong.

A huge risk to not learn that lesson.

Just want to reiterate that there’s no reason for this. There is no increase in crime. There are no riots. There’s no insurrection. They’re doing this without provocation. At least until they create one.
“.. A top US military official has ordered the national guards of all 50 US states .. to form ‘quick reaction forces’ trained in ‘riot control’, including use of batons, body shields, Tasers and pepper spray, according to an internal Pentagon directive ..”
