Inflation is so bad these days that taking a $50,000 cash bribe can't even get you indicted. SAD!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.
It's like they made a clone of Goebbels but somehow the volume got stuck on "screeching banshee"
Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.
Damn right — lock him up!!

"Homan indicated he would facilitate securing contracts for them in exchange for money once he was in office... "On Sept. 20, 2024, with hidden cameras recording the scene at a meeting spot in Texas, Homan accepted $50,000 in bills..." www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...
If you're a cable host interviewing Tom Homan, at the very least you need to ask him about accepting bribes to influence government contracts. Or -- hear me out -- you could wordlessly pull a thick envelope from your coat pocket and slide it to him across the table with a stage wink.
NEW: Judge Beryl Howell granted my motion for expedited review in my FOIA case for the Epstein files, and invited me to file a motion for summary judgment. Which we did, and which you can read here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-ive-fi...
Good. We need to show these greedy corporations that we're done, that we are tired of them caving to fascism.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
Uh oh… The right isn’t going to like this. 🚨 NEW: A Justice Department official on the Charlie Kirk case told NBC News, “So far, there is no evidence connecting the suspect to any left-wing groups.”

Tradwife culture is not just aiming to restore “traditional” gender roles, according to researchers of extremism. It is also a force in formulating a new model of womanhood: one that incorporates strong religious identity, a specific feminine aesthetic, and far-right ideas.

Yes, I do. Obviously, free speech rights have been denied for quite some time. Most people don't pay any attention to the political situation in this country until they are affected or a celebrity is. Better late than never I guess. Apathy is destroying us.
When authoritarianism is on the rise, you can count on the richest, least vulnerable men on the planet to be the biggest cowards.

Judge Steven Merryday noted that President Trump's defamation lawsuit against The New York Times "consumes" 85 pages.
GOP Rep. Thomas Massie told the House Judiciary Committee that the FBI has the names of at least 20 people tied to Jeffrey Epstein, including prominent figures in the music industry, finance, politics and banking.
They’re going to fire a US attorney because they couldn’t find evidence for a crime that was manufactured by the administration? Banana republic shit

🚨NEW: "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" just dropped its first response to ABC, FCC chair, and Disney firing Jimmy Kimmel. Trump ain't sleeping tonight. 🤣 This is a must-watch. 🔥

All this chaos, just to keep the Epstein files under wraps.
Walz: This is North Korea style stuff. And it's being done because this is a weak, thin skinned man who's failing as a president. All of the things he promised are not happening. It's a it's our most cherished freedom to point out very clearly, this is a terrible president
Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:
To those of you who enjoy watching ABC programs, I suggest you boycott ABC next week as it is premiere week and they will be starting the new fall schedule. If ratings for their programs decline, they won't be able to charge premium prices for ad placement during commercial breaks.

Van Hollen: "Those who cave in -- those like ABC who cave in -- what they do is give the bully an even bigger appetite. When they appease they bully, they put all of us at risk."
I’m old enough to remember that slowing growth and rising prices is called “stagflation” and that it’s the worst of all worlds.
It's not about Kimmel. It's literally about freedom of speech, the foundation of our other freedoms. They were already trying to take away this freedom from people protesting the genocide in Gaza. Now they're coming after everyone else.
Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

Per Oliver Darcy, OF COURSE the Jimmy Kimmel suspension is about protecting NexStar's MERGER. "Nexstar is working to merge with TEGNA, in a deal that requires FCC approval." When your only value is shareholder value, you'll lose your company, and YOU DESERVE TO.

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated. Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms. Collective boycott. Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.
i'm surprised they didn't add - "I did it because I am an LGBTQ+ radical leftist, a card carrying ANTIFA member and Joe, Kamala, Obama and Hillary are right!"
If Jimmy Kimmel gets suspended for mild comments about Tyler Robinson leaning MAGA, something not even off-base, why does Brian Kilmeade still have a job after suggesting murder? I’m not letting go of this. It’s the clearest example of the current disproportionate hypocrisy.
The whole damn thing is AI.
I thought comedy was supposed to be legal again.
How long until we start hearing about how people who make remarks inconvenient to the regime are falling out of windows?

Wow. There's no better tribute than that.
Kroger will lay off ~1,000 employees. In December, it announced $7.5B in stock buybacks – which juice stock prices, enriching shareholders and boosting CEO pay. Just so happens that Kroger's last CEO was paid 457x its typical employee in 2024. Textbook corporate greed.

Hmmm. I am not so sure about that, not with this particular SCOTUS.
Maurene Comey, the lead prosecutor in the Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffery Epstein saga, is now suing Pam Bondi, the DOJ and the Office of the President for her unlawful firing. Maurene has all the receipts.
We still want the Epstein files btw
Call your Representative NOW if you ever want to see the entire Epstein Files One more vote needed
Of course, he won't be fired for it.

JD Vance once said that Trump could be “America’s Hitler.”
This is extrajudicial execution, without any clear threat to the US, no authorization from Congress, and far beyond even Article II. The military is not the president's personal hit squad. Or wasn't, until now.
Calling it now: almost all the coming crackdown on progressive groups will be focused on those that provide funding, resources, research, knowledge, or assistance of other kinds to Democratic candidates, voters, and institutions focused on winning the midterm elections. An authoritarian crackdown.

This is out-Sovieting the Soviet Union. "You are free to express any opinion at all as long as it's the right one, and the consequences for all the others will be severe, and ratting out is an important part of our free society."

It appears a collection of leaders and organizations, all at once, decided to obey in advance. To everyone who caves to this regime, know that you are not protecting yourselves; you are teaching power what it can do. You’re muzzling yourself, and the rest of us along with you. You are complicit.
In a Hitleresque speech, JD Vance says there can be no unity with the left and vows to use the government to dismantle non-profit NGOs and liberal civil society who he says promote violence and terrorism.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Who agrees it’s time to scrap the cap?
NYT: Rubio is “preparing what could be most significant military actions of Trump's 2nd term” and “the target is Venezuela.” This is to “combat drug trafficking”. Rubio: “Interception no longer works, what will stop them is blowing them up. POTUS is going to wage war against narcoterrorist org-s.”
Maybe they are starting to catch on to the fact that we are facing a crisis and we need to unite.

I hope I can live long enough to see Stephen Miller prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced for his numerous crimes against humanity. I hope we can all see him sniveling and crying as he's taken to prison.

Yes. Matthew Dowd also apologized for his comments which were much less incendiary but he's still fired. Fox has no standards.
It's so obvious.
Evil looking mf'er
She's looking at him like he's the biggest fool she's ever met.🤣
Watch Brian Kilmeade casually suggest we should murder all the homeless people in the United States. Over half a million human beings. He has no business being on TV talking to millions. We cannot gloss over insanity like this. Otherwise they will take it as permission to go ahead and do it.
So they're planning to use taxpayer money on this performative bullshit. I am so sick of these fools.
Let's hope.
what we’ve seen from the right is the most insane case of cancel culture i’ve ever witnessed. the left has never even done close to a fraction of a fraction of what they want to do now
Yet more of the levers slipping into the hands of the few.
