I think a lot of of those folks dressing up like ICE are not even cops much less federal agents. The way they carry themselves. The way they are dressed. Something is off.

No uniforms. No badges of office. No IDs. No warrants. Thugs posing as law enforcement. Where are the REAL authorities when they show up? Local officials? State Police??

RFK Jr. wants to eliminate as many vaccines as he can. Don’t believe him when he claims otherwise and says he just wants better science and safer vaccines He’s lying. His endgame is, for all practical purposes, to eliminate access to vaccines. thehill.com/policy/healt...

The Department of Homeland Security is NOT making our country safer. They're ignoring immigration laws. They're handcuffing moms, zip tying children and disappearing them without hearings or due process. They're weaponizing DHS to purge people from the population. They're hiding their faces.⬇️

"No one has more contempt for Trump voters than Trump himself. He really believes that they are simpleminded, that they’ll believe anything, and that they want to be their worst selves at all times." On the pod, @paulwaldman.bsky.social on GOP budget scamming MAGA: newrepublic.com/article/1960...

Excellent question. The answer, sadly, is that Trump doesn’t give a damn about what’s best for America.

MAGA’s new motto: punish the poor, protect the powerful. Trump and his crew are pushing work requirements for food, housing, and healthcare—while handing out tab breaks to billionaires. If they really cared about “fraud”, they’d start with their own damn tax returns.

"I didn't know he would do this." Yes, you did, or you voted while being completely uninformed which is just as bad. Prove you didn't know it by joining folks resisting the regime. Prove it by disavowing him. Prove it by fighting for what's right. Otherwise, just be quiet.

There is simply no reason any government official — much less the vice president — should be taking time to meet with a self-obsessed conspiracy theorist.

Good question. Answer: it’s not about finding problems. It’s about shredding our government and denying Americans the benefits they have earned.

The Trump Administration is slashing funds that keep our buildings safe from earthquakes, flooding, and fire. Since when is protecting people and property from natural disaster - waste, fraud, or abuse?
