It Can Now Be Plainly Said: Trump Is Planning a November Coup dβΓtat

Hey GOP why not make Hillary and bills deposition on Epstein public, as the request?
Pretty sure they brought in the wrong First Lady to testify...π€π
It's not hyperbole to suggest that today we have a federal government that doesn't so much represent or resemble a federal administration as it does a family crime syndicate.

πππππ (1897-1993) was a contralto singer, performing a wide range of music from operas to gospels with renowned orchestras in venues from 1925-1965. She was important in the struggle for African American artists overcoming racial prejudice in 20th century US
Her voice was absolutely magnificent, even in the old, poor quality recordings.

NASHVILLE β ICE shatter a car window in front of a newborn, refuse to look at manβs license & work visaβ¦ drag him out of his car, hit him, mock him for being Guatemalan (heβs from Mexico), laugh when he begs to say goodbye.
As Trump assembles a massive U.S. military force ready to strike Iran, the American media keeps ignoring essential context: Israel has been trying to provoke a U.S. war on Iran for decades.
Gallego: "They're going and racially profiling people and rounding up Americans until they can prove their citizenship. That money came from kicking millions and millions of Americans off Medicaid. It was the same bill. They cut Medicaid to expand ICE."
Always. They rarely make it into a salad.
Yes. Letβs analyze the risks *after* we send billions of dollars worth of equipment to the region.
This is either misdirection, or the most glaring lack of coherent strategy Iβve ever seen.
Breaking MS NOW:
An ICE whistleblower is expected to testify at a congressional forum today that the agency is "lying to Congress and the American people" about its training of new recruits.
Ryan Schwank was an ICE academy instructor for new recruits before he resigned earlier this month.
I've been telling old republicans who support ice that their generation got soft, back in the day my grandfather murdered people who asked for his papers and the US government gave him medals for it. They have no idea how to respond to this.
The Supreme Court doesn't get much right these days, but their decision to strike down the pedophile president's tariffs was so fucking easy, the US constitution made it almost impossible for them to fuck up. π³π

DJT is ready to put an expensive war with Iran on the radar while cutting benefits for the American people. He has filed bankruptcy 4 times, and now he's adding our country's economy to the ash heap. We want a divorce from this miscreant. American soldiers will die, Congress must act.

UPDATE: Staff at the ICE concentration camp in Dilley, Texas have begun raiding the dormitories of kids and their parents to confiscate and destroy letters from the children. This is in response to the ace reporting by @micarosenberg et al for ProPublica:

- 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas.
Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children.

So sick of stupid f*cking people who refuse to grasp the fact that the Constitution doesn't apply exclusively to American citizens, but to every person within the U.S. And they bask in the arrogance of ignorance. Is it any wonder that it's hard not to hate them.
Can we all agree that our country did just fine the first 225 years of its existence without the Department of Homeland Security and would do just fine again without it?
1. I would vote for anyone who could win a Democratic primary in 2028
2. I will vote for the most credible left candidate in the primary
3. The two-party system is bad and we should replace it with proportional representation
4. The presidency is bad and we should replace it with a Prime Minister
We are the laughing stock of the world.
βTrump is not a hypothetical. . . He is a uniquely authoritarian, vindictive, racist, corrupt and lawless demagogue β of which there isnβt remotely an analog on the other side of the aisle.β
