ICE Barbie’s shenanigans could cost Republicans this House seat The scandal surrounding the recently fired Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's lavish spending could have broader negative consequences for the GOPβ€”potentially even costing ...

ICE spent $2.25 million on a fleet of branded trucks under Kristi Noem. Reports say agents prefer unmarked vehicles, so the trucks are largely unused.

The official tied to the purchase is now a congressional candidate in Ohio.

This was actually a point someone (Swalwell?) made in one of last week's hearings.

Who is demanding the imposition of sharia law in America?

I can't think of anyone calling for that, much less enough of a groundswell that it warrants an actual response from Congress.

Who's pushing this, Mike? Name names.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social please say it ain't so.... We count on Dems to be against what the regime does. If you don't, the country is lost.

For the bottom 40% of families, California taxes are LOWER than states like Florida and Texas.

In fact, 16 other states tax LOW-WAGE earners MORE than California taxes our HIGH-WAGE earners.

The evidence is clear, and the numbers don't lie.

Amazing how these guys will be all like look, we're going over there to liberate the Iranian people, and then a minute later talk about murdering anyone and everyone in the country we're supposedly liberating.

MAGA UNDER FIRE After SHOCKING RACIST Texts Are LEAKED YouTube video by Katie Phang

Young Republicans repeatedly getting busted for group chats filled with violent racism, anti-Semitism, & misogyny. The latest involves the Miami GOP Sec. & the Pres. of Turning Point USA FIU.

I’ve got the horrid details & thoughts on why the GOP’s future is in the gutter.

This is mental! Ok then how about "when all the files indicating the president is a pedophile have been released, he will be in a place of confessing guilt whether he says so or not"? How's that?

This Is Why They Hate Us The same question we had 25 years ago is asked again, and the answer is the same.

Once again we’re asking β€œWhy do they hate us?” And the answer is the same: It’s not because of our freedom, it’s because of what we do to them.

Screenshot of an X post by Justin Macmahan criticizing Trump for discussing interior decorating during a press conference on Iran. The quoted post includes Trump describing drapes and a future ballroom. Below is a video still of Trump speaking at a podium in a formal room with gold drapes behind him.

It’s like Kamala Harris said. An unserious man in a very serious position.

Rubio Today: It’s false to say I said the U.S. had to attack because Israel was going to attack. That’s not what I said.

Rubio Yesterday: We knew Israel was going to strike Iran, and that would trigger attacks on U.S. forces. If we didn’t act first, Americans would suffer higher casualties.
