Unfortunately we voted the Democrats out of all the positions that could have actually hold Republicans accountable. Republicans never hold each other accountable.
I really understand the frustration, it’s not enough but that’s exactly why we need people like AOC in a position to hold Republicans accountable because at least we know they will, rather than establishment Democrats.
I’m just trying to trick people into reading the article, just cut out the fluff, but you’re right ‘plainclothes federal agents’ are modern day Gestapo and not something I thought would exist in the modern day.
TLDR:
Andrea Velez, a U.S. citizen and Cal Poly Pomona graduate, was violently detained by plainclothes federal agents in downtown Los Angeles while heading to work. Witnesses say officers in unmarked cars, without ID, tackled her without checking identification. Her family believes she was targeted due to her Hispanic appearance and fears retaliation, as her mother is a non-citizen resident. LAPD claimed they responded to a “kidnapping” call but later admitted it was an immigration operation. Velez’s whereabouts remain unknown, sparking outrage over racial profiling and unchecked enforcement.
Yup, that’s what democracy is supposed to be all about giving engaged citizens the tools to change the system to reflect their values!
Do both, so they know why they lost.
Impeachment was never the real battle it was always about Senate driven consequences. In a Republican-controlled Senate, ‘accountability’ is a one-way street paved entirely for Democrats. Their majority exists to shield their own from justice while weaponizing procedure against the opposition. Until that imbalance is broken, consequences will remain a fantasy reserved only for the left.
I mean, that’s the Republican strategy, right?
Make up a bunch of easily disprovable lies about what your oppenents doing, then when your opponent calls you out, it sounds like nonsense.
don’t give them ideas
Poll: Americans overwhelmingly want Trump to obey court rulings, but MAGA Republicans are split are traitors.
FTFY
The world is so fucked, they could create a machine that grinds orphans into bullets to kill single mothers and 45% of the population would support it if it was pitched by Their Guy ™️
Runs in the family I guess, and by family I mean Republican caucus.
TL;DR:
Craig Fuller, founder of FreightWaves and once a potential Trump transportation pick, says the 145% tariffs on Chinese goods have triggered a supply chain collapse, truck traffic from LA ports is down 23%, with 50% import drops predicted. Even major logistics firms like Knight-Swift blame “toxic tariffs” for plummeting volumes.
Sorry, I’m just summarizing the article to practice my writing. if it isn’t in the article I usually won’t catch it. Thanks for the additional context though!
I’m not a bot I’m just trying to make people’s lives easier while also working on my writing skills!
TLDR:
The Trump administration barred Harvard from enrolling or retaining international students, accusing the school of fostering antisemitism, violence, and ties to China.
DHS revoked Harvard’s student visa program certification, forcing current foreign students to transfer or lose status.
A federal judge temporarily blocked the administration from acting against current students.
TL;DR:
The DOJ charged Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver with “assaulting” an ICE agent after she tried to visit a detention center in her district.
Footage shows ICE agents were the aggressors during McIver’s visit.
The charges are politically motivated and part of a broader pattern of Trump targeting opposition figures (especially Black Democrats) who challenge his policies.
The media’s coverage has been extremely soft on criticism for these alarming abuses of executive power, but this is nothing new to those of us who have seen the news in the last 12 years.
fair, updated wording
TL;DR:
President Trump is hosting an exclusive crypto-funded dinner where attendees paid between $55,000 and $37.7 million in his official cryptocurrency, $TRUMP, for a seat.
$394 million total was spent by winners averaging $1.8 million per seat
80% of the crypto project is owned by Trumps various companies.
Most winners are foreign nationals (72%), breaking U.S. campaign finance laws.
TL;DR:
Over a dozen U.S. government officials and congressional aides sold stocks just before Trump’s major tariff announcements, which later caused market drops. While there’s no proof they used insider info, the timing is extremely suspect
Officials who sold their stocks include a White House lawyer, a State Department official, and a Trade Representative director selling shares before key announcements. Experts argue such trades undermine trust in government and markets.
