Threatening to put a significant number of American citizens in gas chambers because of their beliefs is not school boy talk

Especially when it comes from a group of college aged and older

Take violent threats against a specific group of people in our society seriously… it’s called hate speech

The Founders counted on Congress being interested in protecting its own powers vis a vis the executive. They certainly didn't foresee a speaker like Mike Johnson. www.thebulwark.com/p/speaker-mi...

The Speaker of the House Is Abetting Authoritarianism

Every Trump needs his Johnson: a flunky who will rationalize his crimes.

Apropos of nothing, once the President of the United States confirms covert CIA operations in a country… say, Venezuela, those operations are no longer covert.

And it puts CIA officers at significantly more risk.

“Not going to be great” is quite the understatement by Fox here.

Tweet by FactPost (@factpostnews) reading: “Fox: The tariffs, 10% for lumber, 25% for cabinets, vanities, upholstered furniture. On January 1st, the tariff for cabinets and vanities increase to 50%, all the rest of the furniture to 30%. The cost of building materials has increased 34%. There is a concern that this is not going to be great for the home buying industry.” Below is a Fox Business screenshot showing a reporter in a lumber workshop with the headline “New tariffs on furniture & lumber take effect.”

Just asking out of curiosity, did you volunteer for either Obama campaign or the Harris campaign?

White wealth privilege and pedophilia are the Republican brand as much as racism and sexism.

Bob says: GOP == CRIME @yd52.bsky.social · 8h

This is another one of THOSE CRIMES that is TOO BIG TO RECOGNIZE?

Since nobody ever thought it could ever happen, there is no specific law against this action?

Abuse of Power is no longer recognized as a crime?

IMPEACHMENT of GOP CRIMINALS does not work with GOP protection!

Arizona’s right to a full delegation, and the right of the residents of CD 7 to representation from the person they recently voted for, are not up for debate and may not be delayed or used as leverage in negotiations about unrelated legislation,” Mayes warned in her letter, as reported by Politico.

Mike Johnson Facing Lawsuit For Blocking Democrat’s Swearing-In

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

That’s $5 billion more than the entire annual USAID budget. All to one country. To rescue one friend of the president’s.

Trump found another $20 BILLION to give to Argentina, totaling their bailout to $40 BILLION.

Yet we can’t afford to prevent millions of Americans from losing their healthcare.

Shame.
