Damn socialists...

This is exactly how it starts.
First it's groceries 30% cheaper. Then affordable housing. Then cheaper transit. Then accessible education.
Before you know it, people won't be struggling enough.

For 32 years, Republicans have controlled every statewide elected office in Texas.

When Ann Richards left the Governor’s mansion in January 1995, Texas was ranked among the top 10 states in education, 5th in reading, and 6th in math.

After three decades of one-party rule?

Texas has dropped to 41st in education overall, 34th in math, and 44th in reading.

Ken Paxton now owns at least 15 homes across the nation, worth $9 million.

His current government salary is $153,000.

When you see Gov. Whitmer (D-Blue Cross) try to stop @AbdulElSayed, remember:

Whitmer’s dad was Blue Cross’s CEO, she appointed a Blue Cross CEO co-chair of her transition & raked in more Blue Cross cash than any Mich candidate ever — as Blue Cross denies 1 in 6 medical claims.

🚨BREAKING: Men posed as ICE agents and detained and assaulted a woman… and Tom Homan is telling everyone that they just have to comply with this.

A woman was driving on Highway 211, in Oregon, when a vehicle with flashing red and blue lights pulled behind her.

Believing she was being stopped by law enforcement, she pulled over.

Two men approached her vehicle, one was carrying a rifle, and they claimed to be ICE agents and told her she was being detained.

They pulled her out of her car, searched her, and put her in the back of their vehicle.

Then, a third man… who remained inside the vehicle… assaulted her.

He told her he was the “guard.”

The men were wearing tactical vests labeled “POLICE,” carrying fake badges, and wore face coverings.

They held her for nearly 20 minutes before telling her she was free to go… and then she drove herself to the hospital.

And while she was there, she reported that she started receiving text messages from someone claiming to be a law firm offering legal representation for her detention.

Federal authorities later confirmed this was NOT an official ICE operation… These were people pretending to be federal agents.

And this is exactly why Tom Homan telling people to “comply” with anyone claiming to be ICE is so incredibly dangerous.

Because what is a person supposed to do when someone in a tactical vest, carrying a gun, pulls them over with flashing lights and says they are federal agents?

Just trust them?

This is not about telling people to resist legitimate law enforcement.

This is about the government normalizing a system where anyone can look like an armed federal agent, claim to have authority over you, and expect you to obey without being able to verify who they are.

That doesn’t make people safer.

It makes everyone more vulnerable to being kidnapped, assaulted, or killed by criminals who know they can pretend to be ICE.

Mehdi Hasan: “They want us to believe that when Barack Obama was president, Donald Trump won fair and square. When Joe Biden was president, Donald Trump won fair and square. But when Donald Trump was president, he was robbed by the Deep State. That’s what they want us to believe. The dumbest people in the world”

[Jennifer Erin Valent 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @JenniferEValent]

How are we acting like it’s totally normal to get all dressed up, pack into a ballroom, and invite a complete jackass onstage to insult and threaten you? May as well invite your stalker to your wedding and ask him to give a toast. This is insane, folks. Just full-on crazy.

The White House Correspondents' Dinner award for excellence in presidential news coverage by a visual journalist has been awarded to Andrew Harnik.

Last year, Harnik photographed Trump standing carelessly as an Oval Office guest suffered a medical emergency right next to him.

[Rissa @stonedrissa]

He wants to play this game then @BarackObama can run as well 👍🏼💙😎

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

Trump: "I am pleased to announce my intention to run for a fourth term as President of the United States. I will be doing that…I won three times, now I'm going to do it again. I'm going to do it…I won three times. Did very well the second time, by the way. Rigged election."

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

The legacy media sat there while Trump lied about the past elections and "joked" about running again in 2028.

They did not boo.
They did not walk out.
They just sat there and ate their dinner.

The journalists in that room will be remembered as the journalists in that room.

You all BETTER see this film in theaters. Especially after the amount of mountains and loopholes this film had to climb just to get released. This film needs to make K-POP Demon Hunters level money.

GO. WATCH. THIS. MOVIE.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

The House will soon take 2 votes that will compromise our sovereignty by merging our military technology & supply chain with Israel‘s.

❌TODAY’s vote on H Res 1438 brings the NDAA to the floor WITHOUT a vote on striking section 219.

❌TOMORROW’s vote is to pass the NDAA.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

I spent the last few months talking to people across the political spectrum, and to people who want nothing to do with politics at all. Here is what I learned.

We are not a divided country. We are a country being divided, on purpose, by an American oligarchy that profits from the fight. They’ve captured our government, denied our healthcare, looted our treasury, and saddled us with crippling debt.

I believe in a New New Deal. Healthcare as a human right. The right of every family to a decent home, and an end to endless wars.

And a dividend paid to every American from the AI economy, because these machines were built on the whole of human inheritance. That inheritance belongs to all of us, and not just to the handful of men playing God with our very existence.

And none of it happens if we just move on. Donald Trump, his family, and his administration are robbing us blind, not just of our money, but of our faith in one another, and they have to answer for it. Truth and reconciliation, not revenge. Then we break the system that let them do it.

The question is not whether we will lose our democracy. The question is whether we will fight to take back what has already been stolen.

I learned in recovery that you can’t heal what you won’t name. Neither can a country.

The Odyssey in IMAX vs. regular screens.

So much of the film is lost on a regular screen.

Nolan did a disservice to the majority of viewers who don't have access to IMAX.
