Elizabeth Warren: "You know what banking system Scott Bessent wants? The one we had right up until 1933 -- just deregulate the banks, and they crash. The alternative is to say we need better regulation over the private credit market."

The American gestapo abducted an 85 year-old widow.

Was she one of the worst of the worst? No, her step-son, a retired Alabama state trooper, got ICE to put her in a detention center to deport her because he wanted all of his father's inheritance.

Sounds like the son is the worst of the worst.

Everything Trump is a lie and a fraud

Erica Payne, founder of @patrioticmillionaires.org: "Doing it around the edges is what got us this freak show in the WH sending out memes about him being Jesus & getting in a fight with the Pope in a country that prides itself on the separation of church and state. For heaven's sake! Enough already"

Sen. Van Hollen to @patrioticmillionaires.org: "We need to demand that everybody use their full powers to fight and win. If the people in Minneapolis can stand up and fight and blow the whistle on ICE to protect their neighbors, every single one of us can do that."

"All GOP run government does it mess up your life. Conservatives are always the problem."
Today's iteration of GOP run government is restrictive, oppressive & destructive for regular everyday Americans the GOP LOVE's big government lording over us and destroying our lives.

Trump in March: "...We no longer ‘need, or desire, the NATO Countries’ assistance — WE NEVER DID"

5/ As I said, Vance & Buskirk co-founded the Rockbridge Network. bsky.app/profile/jenn...

Christian Nationalist leader William Wolfe, an ally of Doug Wilson, brags that his Center for Baptist Leadership (CBL) belongs to the new Mass Deportation Coalition. CBL is a subsidiary of American Reformer whose Director (Chris Buskirk) founded the Thiel-backed Rockbridge Network w/ JD Vance. 1/
