Collins “has received over $130,000 from top ICE contractors—including Palantir Technologies, CoreCivic and the Geo Group — that are profiting off vicious mass deportation policies. Before the second Trump administration, Collins received just $2,850 from ICE contractors, their employees and PACs.”

This new, bafflingly popular style of "comedy" isn't about writing or telling jokes, but is essentially Cards Against Humanity mixed with Charades. You say words in a surprising order and then you do act outs.

It should be a disqualification for a member of Congress to hold the belief that *his* First Amendment rights are violated when his constituents jeer at him.

Harris got laughed off stage when he tried to blame fuel prices on democrats, and then completely lost his mind with the press. Tries to assert two-party consent recording law against a reporter, and then (unsuccessfully) tries to have her arrested because he doesn't like her questions.

This shows how the algorithm and siloization of news and information is working to the advantage of Democrats. Republicans spend all their time on X and Fox News, so they think they're winning. When they hit reality like this, it's a big shock. They're gonna freak out on November 4th.

To start with, this is happening because the president has targeted a member of Congress as part of a broader explicitly racist hate campaign against Americans of a particular ethnic origin. There's no other way to put it.

Fun fact: the U.S. House can sue a sitting president with a simple majority vote. If the Democrats retake the chamber, they should do more than just "investigate" Trump's corruption. They should sue him in federal court for the illegal ballroom, Qatari jet, and more.

Officers shooting a man, running away from law enforcement, who is not a target of law enforcement, and who poses no threat to law enforcement, is murder. Federal officers do not have the power to commit summary executions because they are aggrieved.
