"When the Roman Empire was collapsing, they instituted a system called bread and circus. Whenever shit gets really bad, you hand out free bread and you have a free circus to distract people from what's really going on. The UFC fight was the circus. They haven't handed out the bread yet"
This picture is when Jon Stewart shamed Mitch McConnell into giving 9/11 responders the healthcare they deserved. He was a horrible human being. That will be is legacy.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo helped build Houston for 35 years. ICE killed him.
“Today is the first day without him for all of us, and it is heartbreaking to know that my mom did not make lunch for my dad before going to work—the first time in their 30+ year marriage.”

ICE does not get to terrorize people with unmarked vehicles, provoke panic, then call that panic “evasion.”
https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY concludes this is a manufactured violation.
PAXIS asks:
If ICE had reasonable suspicion, show it.
If ICE had lawful grounds to arrest him, show them.
If ICE had a warrant, show it.
If agents were clearly identified, release the video.
If deadly force was justified, release the evidence.
The Constitution does not disappear because ICE says “targeted operation.”
If this was lawful, transparency should prove it.
If they refuse transparency, that tells us exactly what they are hiding.
Unmarked cars, secret evidence, and a dead man are not proof of law and order. They are proof of authoritarian policing.
PAXIS can help people lawfully prepare for ICE encounters, and deal with them after the fact: https://t.co/Hi5Yo2N2N2

Enough is enough. It’s day 26 of Mitch McConnell’s hospitalization and the narrative by Senate Republican leadership is that McConnell is a medical miracle. If so then why can’t he resign? Senate Democrats and brave Republicans, please speak up, you know this is not right. @RepThomasMassie you need to get ready to run.
🚨Rosie O'Donnell: "He [Trump] paid $1B to Jeffrey Epstein. It's so obvious that he is guilty as sin... Our president is a serial pedophile rapist."
Thoughts?
Trump is likely about to be sued again by E.Jean Carroll after he went online posting that the cases against him were fake and he never even met her which we all know is a lie because we’ve seen the pictures and the Supreme Court denied his appeal therefore he has to pay up.
On National Tell the Truth Day, it’s time for Ken Paxton to tell Texans the truth about the Epstein-style sweetheart deal he gave to convicted child sex offender Adam Hoffman.
BREAKING: BUSTED! MAGA hack Scott Jennings gets asked on air if he can get Mitch McConnell to call in since he claims to have "spoken" to him from the hospital.
His stunned reaction says it all....
"Do you think he'd be willing to call into the show? Could we get him on the phone now?" CNN's Kasie Hunt asked Jennings.
He responded with the most awkward, you-caught-me "heheheh" laugh you've ever heard, then immediately pivoted away from the question without even entertaining the idea of dialing McConnell's number.
"You know, I wasn't really expecting him to call this morning, to be honest," insisted Jennings. "So when the phone rang and I was able to talk to him, I was frankly pretty grateful. I mean, as I said, I've known him since I was a teenager."
"If it hadn't been for Mitch McConnell and the McConnell Center at the University of Louisville, you know, I would never have been able to go to college," he continued. "He's been my mentor and he changed the trajectory of my life."
Ponder that scenario for a moment. If it weren't for McConnell, Jennings would have never gone to college, which means that he never would have moved up through the toxic world of Republican politics and eventually snagged a job on CNN defending every crime, abuse, and violation of the Trump administration. Chalk that up as just one more thing we can blame on Mitch McConnell.
Jennings went on to repeat his claim that he "heard" McConnell's "voice" on the phone. Given this particular man's demonstrated habit for lying, it seems likely that he's completely fabricating the phone call.
If, as some reports indicate, McConnell is braindead after being hospitalized following a cardiac arrest and receiving CPR three weeks ago, he's obviously not calling anyone.
But Jennings is a MAGA foot soldier and MAGA, even though they hate McConnell, want him to remain in his Senate seat. If he vacates it, a special election will be called, and Trump's nemesis Thomas Massie might slide right in.
"The MAGA media ecosphere, shall we say, has been driving a lot of the questions about where Mitch McConnell has been and what has happened to him," said Hunt. "You, of course, are in tune with that in the role you have on your radio show. Do you think they should put out a picture of Mitch McConnell, that he should release more to the public to quiet this noise?"
Jennings responded by prattling about "privacy" and said "I sometimes wonder, like, if I were laying in a hospital bed, would I want a bunch of people around photographing me? Probably not, particularly if I were an 84-year-old person who's normally private about his health, probably not."
"I've seen all kinds of crazy things on the internet. That's obviously not true because he picked up the phone and called me," he added.
This entire saga stinks to the high heavens. If McConnell is alive and well, it would be incredibly easy to prove it. He could call into CNN or just release a photograph. As sitting senator, he owes his constituents that much, privacy be damned.
What do YOU thinks really going on here?
Please ❤️ and share if you think that Jennings is lying!
Republican candidate Ken Paxton has likely committed voter fraud, after using a false address in 6 different elections.
Paxton is campaigning on ending "illegal voting."
Rep. Thomas Massie told CNN in February that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick should resign over the Epstein files.
Massie pointed to Britain, where an ambassador resigned and a prince lost his title for less than Lutnick has done.
He is still in the cabinet.
Mohammad Paktiawal died in ICE custody. He fought with our troops in Afghanistan. He was not here illegally or a criminal. He worked & had a family. There was no reason for his detention. This ongoing inhumanity is a national shame. Powerful @BillKristol:
