Our country and our citizens deserve better than to be lied to and stolen from by their own government on a daily basis.

“We are fed up with ICE & DHS telling us lies… NO MORE TRAFFIC STOPS BY ICE.” Wilber’s lawyer says he was sideswiped and shot by ICE without any clue who they even were — and ICE then immediately lied about what happened (again)

When Elon Musk's groups spent $20M+ on Wisconsin's 2025 Supreme Court race, his involvement backfired and his candidate lost by 10 points. Now his super PAC has quietly spent $14M+ on key midterm races, including the Texas Senate race. Would be a shame if people found out.

Since Trump claims that it was “the military” that requested to use the arch to store sniper ammo & drones, these are the times when a Democratic majority could bring Gen. Dan Caine before Congress to find out from him if that is true & why. As usual, Republicans will do nothing.

“So the bottom line is Trump doesn’t do the show anymore.” “Yeah.” That time Dave Letterman said Trump stopped doing the show unless he apologized for calling Trump “racist” — and Dave wouldn’t do it.
