Has anyone noticed that the Republican discourse about North Carolina’s storm recovery vanished after the election? Nothing. Not a peep from them. Probably because they don’t want you to know THEY LITERALLY DENIED FUNDING FOR NORTH CAROLINA THIS WEEK! Crazy how that works!

Social Security has NEVER missed a payment in almost a century. Social Security WORKS.

There are so many ambitious Democratic lawmakers who apparently don't understand how fast their star would rise with tangible, direct actions. Before this week, Sen. Van Hollen was largely known only to Maryland voters and professional political circles. Now, the country knows his name. That fast.

The people who made this happen for no reason other than sheer cruelty should never know peace: www.npr.org/sections/goa...

Quick point. Congress can use the spending fight in September (remember Chuck Schumer surrendered till then) to prevent a single dollar from being used to house prisoners in El Salvador.

Does this mean I don't have to pay my taxes?

Which chicken shit House Dem said this off the record? Which one of you is too cowardly to add your name to this horrid statement? Speak up so we can primary your ass back to the stone age.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.
