Lander and Padilla have set the standard that absolutely every Democratic politician should meet or exceed if they don't want to get primaried.

idk maybe it’s just me but it should be a goddamn scandal that Arizona lawmakers were yucking it up at Arpaio’s bday party with a serial killer who admitted to dismembering his gay brother-in-law and killing over a dozen people

All the Republican examples of "violent" rhetoric from Democrats is someone like Tim Walz saying "these people are assholes, you should be rude to them" and all the Republican equivalents are a guy with a top-secret security clearance tweeting "I will personally kill Ilhan Omar with a gun"

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

She is not “likely dead in the eyes of the law.” She is dead both legally & in the sense her body cannot even perform basic functions like breathing or sustaining a heartbeat without invasive intervention. They are animating a corpse to let cells multiply in it. It is horror worse than Frankenstein.

The Felon is cutting short his attendance at the G7 summit in Canada, the White House said Monday night, citing the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Nope. He’s leaving because he’s a joke, his parade was a joke, and he’s lost his bully power. They. Are. Laughing. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1

It’s TACO time! The Felon just double reversed his ruling on immigrants working in hotels, restaurants and fields. Nazi Miller, anyone? ICE is being told to disregard the first TACO and focus down on blue cities only. Y’all listening Home Depot? Farmers? #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1

ICE has been taking babies from their foster parents and separating them from the only family they know. You can hear the agonizing cries from the baby and the scream of the man telling the officers ‘she’s just a baby!!’

A baby almost died outside a closed hospital. Mom pulled into the Crozier-Chester Medical Center begging for help but the hospital emergency room was shut down. A group of nurses happened to be nearby and helped save the baby. This is the Republican policy in action.

Trump rolls into the G7 summit complaining about how mean they are to Putin, trashes America on foreign soil, confused the EU with the UK, dropped papers on the ground, trashed Tucker Carlson, accomplished nothing, then bailed early to escalate a war. MAGA!

“Iran should have signed the ‘deal’ I told them to sign. What a shame, and waste of human life,” Trump wrote in a TruthSocial post late Monday. “Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again!” Rich coming from the man that tore up a deal! Brains of a 🌮

All of these folks out here saying, “I voted for Trump, but I didn’t think it would be like this.” I’m not buying it. They knew exactly what they were voting for. He claimed immigrants were eating cats and dogs. FFS!

CEO pay to that of the median full-time UK employee was 52:1 in FTSE 35O companies in 2023-24. 78:1 at FTSE 100. That doesn't tell full story. At Mitie it is 575:1; Tesco 431:1; Compassion 303:1. Wealth generated collectively, pocketed by few. Workers forced to use food banks, rely on benefits.

A “shift” never happened. A chaotic raid at a worksite and a warrantless sweep in our communities have the same outcome. Bullshit rhetoric aside, they’re hunting us down while we’re trying to feed you. Who’s actually in charge?

Trump’s whole cartoon villain shtick might play at MAGA rallies, but he’s at the G7. PM Carney had to shut down a press conference. Trump is embarrassing our country on the world stage….again. The “please love me, Putin” routine is cringe.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

What a cringe making embarrassment to America. Cowardly, unethical - just like his buddy Putin. Putin was thrown out of the G8 BECAUSE he invaded Ukraine and stole Crimea….agreed by all the other G7 countries including America.

The leading explanatory factor for so many of Trump's actions remains that he is an operative of Putin. This photo from their presser after a no-translator meeting in Helsinki says it all. Only a visible leash is missing.

Not one MAGA Republican can bring themselves to address the horror inflicted on the Hortman children by one of their own. No expression of sincere condolences, only humor at the expense of the dead. Blessed be the fruit. I guess.
