Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?

John Bolton and I have nothing in common politically. But last time I heard, in America, people are allowed to criticize the President of the United States without the FBI showing up on their doorstep. Just another step in Trump’s march toward authoritarianism.

Amazing how much less of a freakout this has caused than Zohran’s proposal for a few publicly owned grocery stores.

Bolton’s home raided, Gen. Kruse fired, Epstein coverup proceeds, seizure of 10% of Intel another step to state capitalism. One day in the somewhat chaotic but purposeful march towards…despotism. And does anyone think they’re doing all this so they can hand over power in 2028?

Pure extortion.

August 7, 2025: Trump calls for the resignation of Intel's CEO ("no other solution"), calls him "highly conflicted" 15 days later: Intel CEO agrees to give Trump and the US government 10% of the company, Trump calls him "highly respected" Totally normal stuff

This is utterly absurd. How many times did MAGA hurl the "socialist" slur at its political enemies, only to gleefully embrace elements of the real thing when Trump does it?

This is the same thing Fed Governor Lisa Cook did. It will be interesting to see how those saying she deserved to be fired react to this news. apnews.com/article/paxton…

I have to say I have been struck that the prominent members of the financial community have had more to say being critical of Zohran Kwame Mamdani's bad ideas about grocery stores in New York than they have the wholesale takeover of the @FederalReserve, which is a major threat to the

During my most recent pregnancy I got very sick with protracted high fevers. Tylenol was amazing. I counted down the minutes till I could take each dose. Causing fear over Tylenol use in pregnancy is so fundamentally evil as it causes women to fear essentially the only

JD “I don’t give a shit” Vance says killing people he accuses of a crime is the “highest and best use of the military.” Did he ever read To Kill a Mockingbird? Did he ever wonder what might happen if the accused were immediately executed without trial or representation??

In any other administration (including Trump's first one), someone in the Pentagon would have said: "Mr. President, you cannot order the military to murder a bunch of people on a boat on the high seas." Designating them "narco-terrorists" isn't a thing that lets you do that.

The attack on Charlie Kirk is disgusting, vile, and reprehensible. In the United States of America, we must reject political violence in EVERY form.

President Trump suggested today that media outlets are engaging in “hate speech” by being “unfair” to him and “maybe” should be prosecuted. Trump’s statement demonstrates the inherent danger of “hate speech” laws: Those in power will always weaponize them to silence dissent.

The countries where comedians can't mock the leader on late night TV are not really ones you want to live in.

Cowards. Shameless, morally bankrupt cowards.

“Let’s be clear about what just happened: Jimmy Kimmel, a prominent late-night comedian, was just taken off the airwaves because the Trump administration didn’t like what he had to say — and threatened his employer until they shut him up.” vox.com/politics/46188…

Where has all the leadership gone?  If not for university presidents, law firm managing partners, and corporate chief executives standing up against bullies, who then will step up for the first amendment?  The “suspending indefinitely” of Jimmy Kimmel immediately after the
