More passenger trains are needed! We should be leading the world in this vertical.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.
This is the ICE agent who murdered a woman by shooting her multiple times in the face.
This Jacob Frey speech is incredible. "To ICE: Get the fuck out of Minneapolis."
NEW: Second video shows ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A woman, a U.S. citizen, was killed
Typical ICE lying. Video proves everything.

The President of the United States appears to be getting regular IV infusions, the public doesn’t know anything about it, & the DC media evidently doesn’t care. We are months into the mystery of Trump’s hands, the White House is lying, & I’ve seen a grand total of one serious news story about it.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law. Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois. And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.
