SOMEBODY needs to explain to the rest of us HOW THESE FCKNG BASTARDS float along w/o paying, w/o severe restrictions on what they are allowed to spend, and not be in jail. They ALL do it. Why are they even allowed to spend $1100/h vs being forced to use court apptd attys.

Let’s hope someone from NASA HQ is running up Pennsylvania Avenue with a fistful of plans for what we could spend all that sweet SpaceX money on, eh? If we’re cancelling government contracts randomly would be nice if science benefited for once. And it’s not like Starship works.

The problem, which Mike Johnson knows, is that these officers aren't even identifying themselves as federal agents or law enforcement. Allowing them to hide their identities allows them to hide from accountability. No names, no badges, no warrants, no due process, no hearings, no justice.

Whenever Dr Oz says Medicaid doesn’t “get its money’s worth” or people must “prove they matter” to qualify… just remember this is a strategy. They want you to blame disabled and poor people for high taxes. They want us to take the blame so they can get richer. Don’t let them get away with it!

The Big Fucked Up Bill, is NOT a spending bill. It’s a government restructuring bill, that consolidates power in the executive, defunds critical services to the point of absurdity, removes the power of our courts to enforce the law and dramatically curtails voting rights. It’s Project 2025

A lot of people promote the idea of punching nazis but I want you to know that you don’t have to. hypothetically you can also do stuff like spit in their food, or more interesting things if you’re making the food. This includes ICE agents, who are nazis.
