This was done to the White House, a federal property, by a man who wanted protesters who spray painted a wall arrested for "destruction of federal property."

I hope the excellent A House of Dynamite has an equal audience to earlier movies featuring the prospect of nuclear annihilation. I am old, but remember well, The Day After, Testament, Threads, and others made during the Cold War era.
Later generations need to witness this truly horrific scenario.

Many of the so-called "farmers" are actually profiteering corporate entities and agribusiness.
Soybean producers have been heavily subsidized by taxpayers while selling their crops to China.
They definitely have not been producing food for U.S. consumers/taxpayers.

No immunity for crimes against humanity.
"Just following orders" won't save you.

I am getting closer by the day to cancelling the NYT.
Cancelled WaPo many months ago and will never go back until the current owner and editorial staff are gone, and it returns to ethical journalism. If ever it does.
Both have become grotesque in their servility to the Trump regime.

We must raise a counter army of IT & AI wizards to neutralize Putin, the broligarchs, and the corrupt rightwing control of our nationwide voting apparatus.
We know now that a rightwing 2020 election denier bought Dominion voting systems. They intend to cheat and steal 2026 & 2028 unless stopped cold

"Destruction of federal property is a federal crime-18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines it as willfully injuring or committing any depredation of U.S. gov't property-Damage exceeding $1k is a felony w/ a fine-up to 10 yrs in prison or both.

Yet another crime. Not within his "official duties" Ultra vires

On a deadly serious note, the President cannot rely on external, private sources to fund spending as an end-run around Congress’ constitutional power of the purse. If he can, we no longer have a republic.

The SCOTUS decision giving Trump immunity from prosecution for presidential felonies is the key that unlocked the Pandora's box of Trump's non-stop criminality.

Who is funding payment to our military during the shutdown?

Staging a private armed force answerable not to the people, but to Trump and the billionaires supporting his despotic regime?
It is absurd to keep this information from the American people.
The media is totally complicit and supine.

At what point when you’re paying troops with your own private money do they not just become mercenaries

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

Elon moves $133 million in crypto from SpaceX, and Trump accepts a $130 million donation. Hmmm… is Elon buying his spot back? Probably just an odd coincidence.

If the DOJ can send Republicans to monitor the November elections, can Democrats do the same and stand right next them? This crap came up and 2020. It’s pure intimidation. The Dems need to fight back!

Of course the Trump regime has decimated this research.

Where is Lisa Murkowski. Is she supine too?
Is she gonna let Trump despoil one of the last great places on Earth, which happens to be in her state of Alaska, without a peep of protest?

We need an army of IT and AI gurus to counter the tech bros who are smug about their ability to hack elections. They are amoral, drugged-up and power-mad.

I'm ordering from eBay, and Walmart, and only stuff I can't find locally. They have the same stuff as Amazon now.
As much as I've hated Walmart over the years, they at least don't trumpet craven support for the Trump regime.
