Boyle: For every American household that makes under $55,000 a year, they will be poorer as a result of this bill. So it's quite clear under this Republican betrayal— the poor get poorer, the rich get richer, and the middle class falling further behind. This is wrong.

The Democratic party establishment that lost us the White House, the House, The Senate, 27 Governor races and the Supreme Court went all in for Andrew Cuomo. And it appears they lost again. Time for regime change for the Democratic Party.

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.” So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances… It was always a lie.

They’re assaulting the mothers and fathers of US soldiers. Roving gangs of masked men grab human beings off the street. They send them without due process to prisons in countries they’re not even from where they are then sold into slavery. Make it stop!!!

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

Cable news suddenly keeps mentioning “sleeper cells” in Iran. Heard it at least 3 times on CNN. Unbelievable 2003-style reporting malpractice, just spitballing ways of making Iran seem like a threat to Americans sitting at home watching tv

While I felt a bit awkward doing so, I busted out laughing when Trump held his little briefing with JD Vance, Rubio, and Hegseth behind him. What a bunch of ridiculous ass clowns. I cannot look at them and simultaneously feel the full weight of the moment.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

An American president told a city of 10 million people to evacuate it immediately as he urgently leaves the G7 to fly to DC and then … nothing. But people still treat him as if he isn’t insane and a threat to everyone. Oh, and Biden was old.
