All regime mouthpieces who have lied about the murder of VA nurse Alex Pretti must resign immediately. All DHS officials and agents involved must be prosecuted.

The Confederates always used "state's rights" when it was convenient and the feds to control the states when it wasn't. We are still fighting the confederates...they weren't punished well enough and they never went away.

Man The president just straight up said "I'm not a part of that guy's evil sex trafficking ring because he kept poaching talent from my evil sex trafficking ring" on mic today. Honestly it's all so vile and sick. And he's just gonna go about his day tomorrow. Doing what he wants. It's so bleak.

60 years ago today Medicare was signed into law. It prevented poor seniors from dying of treatable illnesses Now the “Big Beautiful Bill” guts healthcare & throws us backward. MAGA cheers while cashing in on the very socialism that saves mee-maw & pop-pop They're not patriots. They're parasites.

Stop falling for the trap of latching on to the price of an item (eggs, beef…) as the message. The issue is affordability. From 2001-2023 wages failed to keep up with rising costs. Medical premiums rose 301% Travel expenses were up 170%. Rent grew by 131%. The cost of raising children grew by 107%.

More than 22.8% of seniors in the United States live in poverty — compared to just 5.1% in Denmark, 5.8% in France, 12.6% in Germany and 14.8% in Canada. Unacceptably, nearly 22% of seniors in America are trying to survive on less than $15,000 a year.
