Isn’t it interesting though that Mike Johnson shrugs all this off as just provocative things said just to create a “persona online” from one of his ACTUAL NOMINEES FOR CONGRESS, but Hasan Piker, who isn’t running for anything, supposedly represents the entire Democratic Party.

Or another scenario will be that Congress does not give up power and blue states stop paying federal taxes and do not follow the illegal actions - thereby setting up another civil war. Since they do not care about the law - what other options exist?
Congressional members who win better be ready to stage a sit-in in Congress as the R’s have no intention of giving up power. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/september-...

I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court.
I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective.
Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court.
The lesson: When we fight we win.

VIDEO: The Strain on Military Personnel
The USS Lincoln docked in Thailand this week. As they went ashore, they carried with them the troubles of a 286 deployment to sea that Donald Trump has called “not nearly long enough.”

At the 100 lowest-paying major corporations — including Walmart, DoorDash, and Amazon — CEO pay averaged $17.5M in 2025.
Median worker pay was just $36,571, a ratio of 614 to 1.
Those same 100 companies spent $108.6B on stock buybacks last year.
How can anyone defend this?

The Pentagon has been quietly paying an X influencer as a federal employee since July — and refuses to say what she does.
This came out almost by accident, through the "Data Republican" leak story. It's a taxpayer-funded propaganda operation hiding in plain sight.

We are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to @epi.org).
But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare.

He has absolutely no empathy, and is mean spirited to the core. I hope when he dies, no former presidents and no representatives from foreign countries attend his funeral. He is vile.

You may have seen the scary headlines about migrants from Morocco “crossing into Spain.”
There’s some important context missing: they reached a Spanish territory in North Africa, not mainland Europe.
That distinction matters. But FoxNews and the adminstration doesn't want you to know this
