RFK Jr has been a liar for as long as I can remember.

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

This is what is happening right now.

The was an old Soviet joke:
-Why was our flight delayed by one hour?
- One of our pilots saw the problem with one engine, but now it’s alright.

- No, we’ve changed the pilot.

That’s not a joke in the U.S. anymore.

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

Woke did not lead to bad art. Poor attempts to satisfy the demands of woke from insincere executives who did not want to accommodate the demands actual woke artists would place on process and result lead to bad art.

The man who just fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because their numbers supposedly weren’t accurate just claimed that he lowered drug prices in America by 1500%.

The man who had his doctor report that he’s 6’3”, 238 lbs fired the person in charge of reporting labor statistics.

Drought in Utah.

Idiocracy in the making

Pretty soon all economic and jobs data released by the federal government will be handwritten with a black Sharpie

Detainees at Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” are on a hunger strike over what they call inhumane, dangerous conditions.

Some haven’t eaten in 10 days. One of them, Pedro Hernández, was hospitalized and still refuses food until they are treated with dignity.

I am still astonished that ANY person on planet earth would choose to vote for that asshole.

The most infantile, petulant, ridiculous, farcical, ignoramus to ever exist.

The sheer stupidly of it all is what galls me the most.

The stupidity.

There is no bottom

BREAKING: We're suing ICE for unlawfully targeting and arresting people who show up to court for their immigration hearings.

Will everyone quit and roll over? The law firms, media companies, universities, government employees. Will you all cling to what you have and hope you can just ride it out, Republic be damned? Shame on all of you who don’t stand up, just remember we will never forget.

In a functioning, open democracy, you shouldn’t have to know who are the statisticians.

It has been the honor of my life to serve as Commissioner of BLS alongside the many dedicated civil servants tasked with measuring a vast and dynamic economy. It is vital and important work and I thank them for their service to this nation.

Why is it acceptable for the president to use taxpayer money to fly overseas and cut a ribbon at his own golf course?

Don’t normalize this abuse of office. It’s blatant corruption.

There are so many times this nightmare should’ve been over, but I’ll never get how inciting a violent coup on J6 didn’t lead to a prison term post haste. That fucker should’ve been yanked by the lapels out of the White House, handcuffed, and hauled away that day. Everyone knew he was responsible.
