For all yall who said Harris was just as bad as Trump, seriously, fuck you at this point. You are a joke, more committed to your radical pose than anything meaningful.

So Jake Tapper 🦅 has seen my posts calling out his blatant double standard — how he hounded Joe Biden over every breath, blink, and pause but now bends over backward to excuse Trump’s obvious mental and physical decline. Just listen to this. It’s pathetic. Tapper is actually

Things “shaking me to my core” - Federal police currently menacing innocents in our cities while the president arrests political foes. Things not shaking me to me core: Hypotherical Zohran concerns while he’s at least trying to do outreach to cops cnn.com/2025/08/30/pol…

Love that Speaker Mike Johnson is determined to make Adelita Grijalva a far stronger voice once he actually does swear her in than she otherwise would be. Way to give her a national profile, bro!

the reason that swing district Democrats often rely more on corporate PACs is because the way you raise money via individual donors is you take lots of fiery liberal rousing stances on social media and those are a luxury only blue district Democrats can really afford

Without any comments on the Israeli gov't, which i do not like, I will say that as an American. we were at war in the Middle East for 20 years and I don't remember anyone doing anything like this. The differential treatment is suggestive of bias, no?

This is disgraceful. I for one am sick and tired of Dems who use grandstanding and talking points as a cover for their weakness. People of Maryland please act to save our democracy.

A reminder that the late MN House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman her husband Mark and their dog Gilbert were murdered in cold blood. President Biden, with stage 4 Cancer paid his respects. The current administration could not be bothered.

As a former Hoosier, I can promise you State Senators voted against Trump because, A) They were getting calls from constituents telling them not to cave and, B) They’re still pissed about how Trump treated Pence.

A note to all the law firms, media companies and universities who caved to Trump and those that cower: a bunch of Indiana Republicans just ignored pipe bomb threats to do the right thing. History will remember your cowardice just as it will remember others' courage during this

🚨 ICE has been erroneously interpreting grants of withholding of removal as final orders of removal. That’s insane. How many other people were illegally deported under this policy? Another reason why due process matters: it exposes systemic errors by the government!

JUST IN: Judge Boasberg won’t back off his planned contempt hearings next week and says the crime-fraud exception would overcome potential privileges. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

Wow. Official confirmation that ICE HSI believes that it can in fact detain US citizens for *immigration checks,* and keep them handcuffed while they have their biometrics run. That is a chilling assertion.

I imagine this is a complicated video for Jake Tapper 🦅 and George Clooney to watch today. *And the millions that foolishly listened to them and doomed us.

It's a pretty amazing irony that the Ellisons took over CBS as the culture shifted. They want to move right as the country is moving against the right. May they lose a lot money and sell CBS to someone else.

We have never had a person of worse character as President of the United States. It's mortifying how this great country chose to do this to itself.

The lesson that every Dem needs to take from this--as well as the previous ~10 years of politics--is: Don't depend on the online Far-Left for political support. No matter how much you cater to them, if you say *one* thing that diverges from "The Party," they will sabotage you.

Top Democrats are joining in because the guy is a creep and an extremist. He’s not a progressive. And he’s certainly not a Democrat. A ton of us were “progressives”, until that word was appropriated by far left extremists.
