If it’s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.

They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.

KAROLINE LEAVITT: "President Trump invaded Iran because he had a feeling."

MOST AMERICANS & THE REST OF THE WORLD: "Fuck your feelings."

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

A Directionless War Meets a Constitutional Crisis Welcome to the new era of Trumpism.

Congress might not be able to stop the president from making the Middle East a mess, but they can still stop him from making a mess of our Constitution.

The Feds Targeted Charlotte. Now a Local Democrat Who Helped ICE Faces Voters. - Bolts North Carolina lawmaker Carla Cunningham voted to mandate compliance with ICE, and derided immigrants on the House floor. The Democrat faces an intense March primary.

JUST IN: North Carolina's Dem lawmaker Carla Cunningham gave the GOP the decisive vote to pass a law forcing police to comply with ICE. She said "all cultures are not equal."

She just lost reelection BIG in the Dem primary to a progressive pastor & activist, Rodney Sadler. 70% to 22%!

I'm looking at the total votes cast in both primaries.

β‰ˆ100,000 more votes cast in the Democratic primary than the Republican primary.

If that holds in November...

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws.

You know, like a democracy.

Businesses have a moral responsibility to stand up to autocrats As authoritarian and autocratic leaders seek to consolidate power throughout society, members of the business community face a choice of resistance or capitulation.

Time for these companies to stand up.

I totally share the Space Nazi’s dream. We should put him, Donald, JD, that greasy little Nazi Peter Thiel, Bezos and all the billionaires who made an authoritarian bargain with Trump on a one way rocket to the moon with limited oxygen.

Allison Gill reveals she’s been in contact with a woman who reported trafficking tied to Trump’s modeling agency to the FBI. The tip appears on the Epstein file pages that went viral β€” the FBI interview is missing.

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

Here's the thing, Greg β€” free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution.

If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

We have reached the point where any statement made by a Trump administration official must be assumed to be a lie until proven otherwise.
