Kudlow of Fox Business admits we will be experiencing “slower growth, higher inflation, not good” But the Felon is too focused on a new plane to care. #ProudBlue

Welcome to today's episode of Shut The Fuck Up Friday! Check out this video for some tips from a local lawyer for those of you headed out to the streets to protest. You're a target of the state when you take action. NEVER talk to police & always STFU! Full video in thread👇

Republican Senators who voted for RFK Jr. have the best healthcare in the world, paid for by you. They don’t care about what’s going to happen to your kids, your parents, or you.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

This is disgusting. And "discriminatory equity ideology" is Orwellian.

This is Rep. Richard McCormick of Georgia. He--like every member of the GOP congressional delegation--is unfit to serve.
