Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media

Every act of defiance- big or small, every refusal to let this regime change our hearts, every time we speak out or show up, matters. Come bask in some community spirit and help collectively heal some broken hearts.

Like DC, the city of Memphis, TN is also currently under National Guard occupation. A pizza shop owner there made it clear they don't serve occupiers. Ever since, business has been booming.

The best way to get to the bottom of the McConnell question is for the governor to appoint a replacement. The GOP legislature passed a law stripping him of that power, but it goes against the state constitution. If they refuse to seat the replacement, take them to court. There’s zero downside.

The world is burning. The president is having hallucinations about election fraud on live television. ICE is murdering people in the streets. And Rep. James Comer thinks the problem we really need to address is that DC is setting our own local tax rates. #FOH

So military troops under the direct control of Trump and Hegseth will be on the streets of our nation’s capital for the rest of Trump’s term. The rationale—they’re here to help with a crime emergency—is laughable. But of course the real reason is ominous. cbs4local.com/news/nation-...
