Trump’s masked gestapo just shoved a Common Defense member and Air Force veteran to the ground and arrested him for peacefully protesting in Illinois.

The lawlessness of this regime must end — and he must be released immediately!

Hannity 2019: I have zero doubt that Russia meddled in the 2016 election…I’m certain they did. Devin Nunes was warning Obama in 2014

Hannity 2025: They all lied. I’m proud that this show got it right. The rest of the media went along with the lie.

You have to punch the nazi in the face at some point.

I would argue, we're at that point.

California is the fourth-largest economy, the most diverse state in the most diverse democracy, and a leader in technology and innovation BECAUSE of immigrants.

They have become an illegal group- disband them.
