    1. Between 2011 and 2015 the ICE budget stayed the same or fell in 2 years.

    2. Democrats enforced Obama era rules of 72 hour holding limitations for women and children, and followed a criminal-only persecution which actually deported more people than Trump despite the number of cages Trump filled. Thats what this is all about. Trump is filling cages for the private prison industry’s profits.

    If you don’t want the DNC to compromise then elect more than 50 of them to the Senate, and a strong house majority.






  • The DNC with only 58 for 72 days managed to beat a Republican filibuster and expand lifesaving healthcare to tens of millions of Americans. The DNC with a slim 50 majority via Reconciliation passed the absolutely massive Inflation Reduction Act as their budget. The Citizens United decision by the Conservative SCOTUS allows unchecked campaign spending by corporations and PACs because it overturned a bill written and passed by the DNC. When Democrat presidents are in we fund the IRS and audit the Rich.

    The DNC is our progressive party. The DNC works for the people.







  • There is no evidence Bill Gates has ever been to the island, neither flight logs or photographs of any kind. He has at least twice had dinner with Epstein back when Epstein was publicly known as a venture capitalist and philanthropist, likely having to do with the world’s largest philanthropic organization the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation.

    That rumour has been flying around after a tweet claiming it went viral in 2023 referencing a then 8 year old court document involving Ghislaine Maxwell who worked for Epstein.



  • The DNC was responsible for the policy that removed money from politics until the conservative stacked SCOTUS overturned it in 2010. The DNC have reversing Citizens United as a core platform stance.

    We need to get 60 DNC Senators in there, or we simply need to remove conservatives to less than 40, both GOP and conservative IND, and we will see real progress. We haven’t had more than 50 in over 12 years, we havent given the DNC supermajority without caucus since 1979.

    Like 4/5ths of the average American diet used to be canned or frozen, so I kind of don’t agree.

    Fun Fact, the heir to the Swanson brand is Tucker Carlson, a Fox News show host so bad that his false statements have gotten the network sued on multiple occasions and the defense was that his statements fall under fair use due to being so absurd that no reasonable person would believe them. He actually started the Hydroxychloroquine trend during the pandemic by bringing on a non-doctor to promote the drug with a fake study.

    Millions if not billions of dollars were wasted on the drugs distribution and more and more studies when it was effectively useless or in many cases harmful.

    Sorry. Went a bit off topic there just now, lol.
