If the Commander of Southern Command is stepping down less than a year into his tenure, I’m guessing we’re about to find out the intelligence picture on these “narco-terrorist” vessels that we’re blowing out of the water isn’t as solid as it’s being portrayed.

Mayor Johnson once called himself a community leader.

Now he’s a community “ It’s none of my business.”

Jake @jp1102.bsky.social · 8h

Our mayor does nothing but issue statements.
He should be out in the damn streets with his people helping.

Impeach him.

Gov. Pritzker isn’t mincing words—he’s calling it what it is: a Union tearing apart and a state under military invasion by an authoritarian regime. This isn’t politics anymore. It’s a full-blown crisis. Big shoutout to Pritzker for having the courage to say it out loud. 🙌🏽

I can't stress enough how young staffers working for Republicans are basically all groyper Nazis now. The leaked texts yesterday saying "I love Hitler" and now swastikas on congressional offices.

Capitol Police called to investigate swastika in GOP congressional office

An American flag altered to include an image of a swastika was found in Rep. Dave Taylor’s office.

ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.

He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.

I remember working on a VH1 special with D’Angelo back in 2000, we taped it at the Theater at MSG and I STILL remember his soundcheck. Massive talent and had the charisma to back it up. Rest easy, Sir, you will be missed.🙏

The ‘Peace President’ killed six more people off the coast of Venezuela this morning. We have no evidence other than his word that they were a threat to anyone, anywhere and also release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention in this matter!
