Its so fascinating that when other countries do this, we are told they are communist authoritarians who are anti freedom, but when our government does it half the country calls it truth, liberty and freedom
Communism has no place in America, the President declares the day before rolling out his new state television station.

NEW: @apnews.com confirms that ICE has begun electronically "disappearing" people in the agency's custody who have final orders of removal.
As of last week, anyone jailed by ICE with a final order of removal will NOT appear in the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, making them effectively vanish.

The average person on any given PAC fundraising list doesn't understand how these narratives work. The most important thing for Texans, if we're to go for Dems, is to turn out non-voters. If you're hyped to vote D in Texas, the best thing you can do today is plan how to get your buds to the polls.

It's interesting that there are already boycotts of Tillamook because the cheese is halal, and yet not a peep about this from the people who insist muslims are taking over anerican culture
I know it sounds bad that Gavin Newsom sold out California so Larry Ellison can buy about half of the entire American entertainment industry but to be fair to Newsom, half of that is actually going to be bought by Saudi Arabia

Outside the obvious timebomb of selling out trans kids to appeal to ~16 bigots in deep Ohio, an underplayed part of the whole "trans kids in youth sports" stuff is making the most psycho Little League parents the most important political demo in America.

Elon Musk is flying under the radar in the Texas Senate race. Republicans want to keep it that way.
One Republican involved in the Texas Senate contest called Musk’s in-your-face campaigning in Wisconsin last year “a mistake.”
