If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

It’s okay. People only care about the price of eggs.

…this ISN'T how it began. This is already several stages along the way.

NEW: VoteVets Responds to Trump’s Illegal Strikes on Iran

I just got back from a camp trip with the grands only to hear we have bombed Iran. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? I'm saddened by the world we are leaving these kids. Even more, I'm PISSED. Thanks to all who are actively resisting this insanity. We are the power!

Over 75% of folks in ICE custody this year had no criminal record beyond immigration or traffic issues. Less than 10% had serious convictions. Fear sells, but facts matter. #ImmigrationTruth

Our sign from yesterday. Phoenix turned out in droves. Proud of Arizona.

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

My kids know an American flag when they see one – but they don't yet know all that it represents. When they're old enough, here is what I'm going to tell them:

Best example of consistent good trouble TRUE hero

This is so important it hurts. This is the tiny area of a massive sprawling city that Trump is attacking and the entire propaganda machine is churning to make us believe more is happening. Don’t fall for the lies.

You have to add up all the red bars and stack them on top of each other to pay for the green bar.

Maxwell Frost clarifies Trump’s order sending the National Guard into cities and states. It doesn’t specifically state California. Trump’s order applies to every single state in the country if he ‘feels’ threatened even if there is no danger. Your state, city or town could be next.

The #dollar's crown is slipping, and fast‼️👇🏼 The dollar has sunk to its lowest in three years as rapidly changing #U.S. trade policy unsettles markets and expectations build for #FederalReserve rate cuts, fuelling outflows from the world's biggest economy. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

This.

This seems a bit different than what Trump is saying.

I have no idea what he’s talking about when he says “Iranian Empire”. Is he talking about the Persian Empire from 2,500 years ago?

Isaac Asimov on, "If God is Dead, Everything is Permitted?"

BESSENT: We inherited this fiscal situation-- BENNET: You inherited it from Donald Trump! He's the first president to come back after a four year hiatus after we know exactly what the last tax cuts did, which was blow a massive hole in our deficits and debt. You can't sit here and lie about that!

The root doctor's house.

This monologue 🔥

governor gavin newsom address to californians last night: “california may be first, but it clearly won’t end here,” “other states are next. democracy is next.”

Navarro: I'm very happy to see somebody that isn't afraid to speak up and call an authoritarian an authoritarian. And if it's Newsom, as a result of what's happening in California now, I welcome it because I have been so thirsty for somebody that is not cowardly

Newsom: "Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived. He's taking a wrecking ball to our Founding Father's historic project."

The fascist MAGA elites—all of them filthy rich—can lie all they like. The American people get it.

Cactus blooms always feel like a gift.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

Mike Lindell will not present any evidence at trial that 2020 was rigged because it was all talk. Fascinating.

So it’s not “Big & beautiful”?

And so it begins... First tropical disturbance in the era of Trump 2.0's weaponized FEMA/decimated NOAA

Trickle-down economics is a transfer of wealth upwards from the working class to the mega-rich under the lie that they'll redistribute their own wealth instead of hoarding it. Since 2000, the wealth of the top 1% grew 10x faster than the bottom 50%. Trickle-down economics is a scam.

GOP Sen. Joni Ernst responds to voters saying that cutting Medicaid will kill them: “Well, we all are going to die.”

What the hell???
