So, Trump is going to get away with more illegal actions and is creating enemies of our Allies...and yet we still haven't seen any legislation from Republicans to improve the quality of life for Americans. Right

i’m sorry but anything after The CIA investigating an 11 year old was just not comprehended because what do you mean an 11 year old has a CIA agent trying to see him at school WITHOUT HIS PARENTS???

- added: since people are correcting me and saying it’s secret service i’ll add this “why is ANY government agency trying to question an 11 year old at school without his parents?”

I call 100% BS that the Secret Service was who showed up at that school. I fully believe they are covering because ICE doesn't want to lose face on the fact that they were shut down by an Elementary School Principal.

Sadly I don't trust our mainstream media outlets to actually investigate this in a meaningful way. 😥😔 We're going to have to wait for the whistleblowers.

Is their proof that the ID shown was SS?

If they had identified themselves and shown SS identification, the school would not have gone into lockdown. I fully believe that they are just covering at this point. These are educators who have been trained for this. I believe them.

This part, I can’t wrap my head around this. I feel like the trending theme for the next 4 years is going to be “wtf is happening”. We aren’t even a full week in and I’ve said it every day multiple times 🫠

Ash, the scary part is that they are trying to give him a third term. Can you imagine the damage these people will do to all of us, regardless of our background. We got to figure out how to band together.

I agree, unfortunately so many people still believe this is a left vs right issue when it isn’t. As far as a third term goes, I truly hope for the sake of the younger generations especially, that doesn’t happen.

The Republicans all set this up years ago. No one believed that extremism would actually come to fruition but here we are. Keep in mind, on major issues, Vance will always come in and vote for his king. So, is the other nominees are in the same situation- Tulsi, Patel, Vance will confirm them.

I am impressed that McConnell joined Murkowski & Collins. Good on him. Frustrates the HELL-O out of me that Tillis and a couple others didn’t join in. Worst candidate for this role ever.

I honestly don’t believe Vance likes Trump. He is a means to an end and a way to get his foot in the door and infiltrate his base you act without conscience. He needs that to push his own sick agenda and become part of the “New America” where the white man profits, the women are seen and not heard (good luck with that one) and the constituents are left poor and uneducated. But for now, he will be on his knees for the orange buffoon doing exactly what he needs to until they get rid of him.

He doesn’t have to like Trump. Trump is a mouthpiece and puppet for heritage foundation and other Christian nationalist oligarchs. Trump will be gone but Vance will still vote the same way.

That’s my fear! That Trump will be gone soon one way or another and Vance will step in as President. Or after 4 yrs Vance will run for president! Either way I guarantee Vance will do everything he can to get that position!!

When churches can pay taxes, they can ask for tax payers money for religious schools. They get free money that’s written off by both the donor on their individual taxes and they do not get taxed or required to report it. Let’s start there.

OMG THIS! I have said my entire life that churches should be taxed to high heaven (no pun intended) and then earn tax breaks for feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, and true community service.

Expand full comment
AmyLorene's avatar

Exactly. And this is coming from a former southern Baptist (pastor/ministry kid). The tax exemption was for churches who did more service in the community to warrant the community not needing to pay for those services. Tax em.

Thankfully they’re on loan from China so they could take them back any time and they maintain full control (that’s not sarcasm btw, they really are on loan lol. It’s called panda diplomacy)

As someone said earlier I think that’s a spin to deflect from ICE being there. I have nothing to base that on other than events since Monday. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 to the administration of the school and how they handled it! And no - still have no idea why an 11 year old would be approached at school for a video against Trump!!

I haven't felt the need to constantly check news updates nor has my anxiety been this high in the last 4 years. I am barely getting 3 hours of sleep a night. I don't know how you do it, Aaron but thank you for keeping us informed.

So, this administration wants to “leave things in the hands of the States” but when the state’s Supreme Court says no because something is infringing on the first amendment and separation of church and state now all of the sudden it needs to go to the federal Supreme Court?? Make it make sense.
