Medicaid pays for 60% of births in Mike Johnson’s home state of Louisiana — yet he voted to cut Medicaid. If you’re not voted into office to defend the health and wellbeing of your constituents, what the hell are you there for?

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Los Angeles a “city of criminals” and not a city of immigrants. But like its name, Los Angeles is a city of angels. We protect and look out for one another, especially the most vulnerable.

Insane scenes in Downtown Los Angeles as the cops open fire indiscriminately on people milling about. The cops shattered a business’s windows while firing on a live-streaming journalist. Keep this in mind when people talk about the protesters causing property destruction. 🎥 : AXN News on YouTube

Right now scrolling through social media the reason MAGA controls the White House, the House of Representatives and the Senate and Democrats don’t is clear. MAGA knows what they want and build all their words & images around it. Progressives don’t want to win unless it’s 100% their way /1

Make no mistake. There are people eagerly watching the LA livestreams because they want to see “a damned California liberal” die. Sons of Liberty would have straightened out Murdoch, Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Thiel, Bannon, Alex Jones a long time ago and have prevented this.
