Did congress authorize this fucking war where American lives will undoubtedly be lost? If not, why the fuck do we have a congress? Why are we paying very large salaries and benefits to all these assholes since they do absolutely NOTHING!

Announcing his war of regime change, Trump said to the Iranian people, “The hour of your freedom is at hand.” Words from a president who has been snatching freedoms from Americans. A freedom taker presenting himself as a freedom giver. How authoritarians commonly present their wars of conquest.

Last month, a Pennsylvania farmer rejected $15M from data center developers to sell his farmland. Another in Wisconsin turned down $80M. America's farmers and others across the country are pushing back on Big Tech. This is what integrity looks like.

LEFT: Someone who appears in the Epstein files over a million times. Epstein called him his "best friend." RIGHT: Someone never mentioned in the Epstein files—even once. And she never met him. So guess which one is being hauled before our corrupt, cover-upping Congress to testify about Epstein.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.
Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

Ilhan Omar is an American hero. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...
Ms. Omar, visibly shaken after the assault, insisted to her staff and security that she would continue. She asked for a napkin and told them: "Just give me 10 minutes. I beg you. Please don't let them have the show."
Ms. Omar then turned the crowd. "Here's the reality that people like this ugly man don't understand," she said. "We are Minnesota strong, and we will stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us."
Someone in the crowd later thanked Ms.
Omar for staying and continuing after the assault, which had shaken not only her but the entire room.
"I learned at a young age you don't give in to threats," Ms. Omar said.
