What happened?
1. The right wing has an effective propaganda machine churning out lies nonstop. The rest of the media failed to do their jobs and normalized the Treason Cheeto.

2. The electorate has been conditioned to treat politics as if it were populist entertainment. Some WWE fake wrestling/

Just Jeffrey Epstein and current Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, on Epstein's rape island. Years after Lutnick claimed to have cut ties with him while under oath in front of Congress.

No biggie. Just perjury about his relationship with the world's most famous pedo sex trafficker.

BREAKING: Massive Crowds of Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota as we speak. The tide is turning. America is Fed Up.

Americans should be fighting back against what is happening in this country. Having masked, secret police shooting people, breaking into homes and cars, is NOT normal.

The conspiracy by this Court to replace our founding charter with dictatorship isn’t funny, but:

“Every time Trump makes a shadow docket appeal he might as well shout ‘By the power of Greyskull!’, because he’s about to transform from a feeble man who can’t grip a glass with one hand into HE-Man.”
The Supreme Court's use and abuse of the Shadow Docket is *how* Chief Justice John Roberts legitimizes Donald Trump's authoritarian takeover of the government.

The Supreme Court’s Shadowy Plan to Subvert Democracy
In making frequent, ill use of the “shadow docket,” the high court is not just handing Trump policy victories. It’s upending the rule of law.

“Since Abrego Garcia’s return from wrongful detention in El Salvador, he has been re-detained, again without lawful authority,” the judge wrote. “For this reason, the Court will grant Abrego Garcia’s Petition for immediate release from ICE custody.”

Cubby’s 3rd Gotcha Day!

Three years ago, he was in the local dog pound, hours away from being euthanized as they were out of space and he was the longest resident. He grew up as a puppy in that place.

When I found out, I rushed over and applied for him. One of the best decisions of my life.

나는 오늘 아침에 일칙 일어났어서 고추장 불고기 삼각김밥을 요리했어요! 참 맛있어요!

Woke up early this morning and made gochujang bulgogi triangle kimbap!

These babies look legit. Like I just walked into a GS25 convenience store in Korea and bought them. 😋😋😋

Speaker Mike Johnson has been desperately, absurdly trying to fear-monger about these nationwide peaceful protests against authoritarianism being "hate America" rallies full of "radicals."

These people aren’t 8 year olds making offensive remarks because they’re imitating what they heard from an adult.

These are fucking full grown adults who know better and are responsible for their own words.

Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone.

And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.
