A Chinese porcelain sculpture depicting a Maoist struggle session; a cadre in uniform and CCCP cap stands by while a Party official forces a man in a dunce cap to his knees. The image has been altered. The cadre now has the 'fat baby' JD Vance head. The Party official has orange skin, Trump hair, and Trump's eyes and mouth. Both figures have US flag lapel pins.

Promising tax cuts in response to affordability concerns is robbing Peter to pay Paul and doing political work for Republicans.

the proud boys' lawyer thinks he redacted the email addresses of the over 2000 people who donated to the fundraiser for the lawsuit, but here's the thing: no he did not lol
Drone expert Faine Greenwood, who has studied their impact on civilians in war, said there is very little in U.S. laws about drone privacy or drone data security and that drone/aerial surveillance “functions on multiple levels of psychological intimidation.” (5) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
