BREAKING: Billionaires in America now own a record $9.2 TRILLION in wealth. That's up 32% over the last year. The country's GDP has only risen 6% in that time. Tax breaks for the wealthy don't trickle down to working people. They just create trillionaires.

Abolish ICE is not enough. Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough. We need prosecutions and trials. Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.
ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing? ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW. I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.
America's billionaires got $1.5 TRILLION richer in Trump's first year back in office. How did you and your family do?
Imprisoning citizens, kidnapping our neighbors and sending them to concentration camps, and executing Americans in broad daylight. This is what conservatism is. A government that comes for you instead of from you.

New Editor Commentary: Are you satisfied Ohio? Are you happy you kept politicians in charge of redistricting? Out of 131 legislative races in Ohio in 2026, 7 to 10 are actually competitive, being v. generous. The others are not. That's a pathetic disgrace. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/11/19/g...

"The bottom line is that Trump and DOGE made drastic cuts to the NWS and the NOAA. Retired federal scientists warned the cuts could hamstring forecasts and make extreme weather events less predictable and more dangerous."
Trump gutted the weather service. Then Texas flooded.
It's a brutal reminder that in disasters, we need the federal government.

ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.
