New Rule: "No one failing to pay taxes honestly in previous years may be elected President. Presidential candidates shall release a minimum of the most recent 10 years of tax returns for public viewing."

Rep. Robert Garcia: "It is a shame that Pam Bondi refused to meet with the survivors. It's a shame that the current Acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche, has done everything to try to hide and essentially evade our questions. He's also not met with the survivors."

As I’ve said a million times before, the whole point is misery. There’s no other policy logic beyond making us all suffer. Live in a sanctuary city and want to get out of the country for a couple weeks (or forever)? Too bad, you’re stuck here now.

Weird thought here…should Dems somehow lose in 2028, and then storm the capitol…would they be seen as great patriots that deserve million dollar payouts?

Just wanted to let you know that the IRS has audited every president annually for decades now to ensure there was no corruption and the reason you didn't know that was because only one president found that to be a problem

Russia interfered in 2016 and he “won.” He tried to overthrow the 2020 election after he lost because of the mail-in vote. He is openly trying to steal the 2026 midterms. But somehow everyone says he won 2024 fair and square…

I’ve been wondering the same thing. This country is in desperate need of protest songs from its leading artists…rallying cries to mobilize an exhausted nation overwhelmed by injustice. There have been very few. The music industry is also to blame.

Brett Meiselas says RFK Jr. blaming teenagers' sperm and Dr. Oz saying Americans are "under babied" are not only weird—they miss the point. The reason people aren't having kids is simple: income inequality has become so extreme that Americans can barely afford housing and food, let alone raise kids.

Absolutely fuck you, Amazon. When I bought this device there was no mention of my purchase being time limited at your discretion. It does not require software updates, so the only "support" necessary is that kindle books are available in a format that can be sent to it. This shouldn't be legal.
Dear Customer,

Thank you for being a
longtime Kindle customer.
We're glad our devices have
served you well for as long as
they have. Starting May 20,
2026 - 14 to 18 years after
their initial launches - we are
discontinuing support for
Kindle devices released in
2012 or earlier. Here's what

I get the sentiment. I do wish there had been some pushback from the media before certifying. We were all puzzled by the results—why not probe deeper? I personally don’t hold it against her b/c we don’t know what other information she had, what broad considerations might have made her back away.

Cool, so you just want to fight. I was just trying to say we’re on the same side. Only I understand why she couldn’t come forward. Maybe she’d do things differently now. But Trump knew what he was doing with the Big Lie. Making anyone else with evidence of HIS crimes look like they were crying wolf.

In 2021, Trump allies conspired to breach, steal, copy, and disseminate election software for the top two vendors that count 70% of the country’s votes. They succeeded in multiple states, including Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and North Carolina. Data teams were hired by Sidney Powell.

My point being that Harris likely wanted to contest the results, but she wouldn’t be able to without a smoking gun, physical ballot proof. If she contested results before that, she would have been labeled a denier. Politics is perception, and media are in Trump’s pocket. He thew the kitchen sink…
