This is the way. So far, Washington Post, NYT, CNN, The Atlantic, The Guardian, Reuters, NPR, Associated Press, HuffPost and more. This is the way.

Dear @SteveScalise,

How could a rally of millions & millions of Americans simply reaffirming our founding principle of “No Kings” be a “hate America rally?” Do you not agree that we must never have kings in America? Shame on you.

Sincerely,

Your Former Congressional Colleague

I thought they said it was wrong for an administration to ask a social media platform to take stuff down.

Remember how MAGA told us Javier Milei would fix Argentina's economy with his right-wing policies?

And now we are bailing out Argentina with billions.

Remember how MAGA told us Donald Trump would save US farmers with his right-wing policies?

And now we are bailing them out with billions also.

In honor of Charlie Kirk, the alleged free speech champion, Trump's State Department has revoked the visas of foreign individuals who made critical, disparaging comments after his assassination.

What weak, pathetic snowflakes and hypocrites.

Fragile, porcelain tea cups.

Why would the cartels want to stop ICE and CBP activities that have been diverting resources away from drug interdiction?

Screen shot of ABC article with the headline “cartels issuing bounties up to 50k for hits on ICE and CBP agents, DHS says.”

ICE is randomly targeting peaceful protesters because the point is to terrorize the public into accepting martial law.

Indiscriminate attacks send the message that there’s nothing you can do to stay safe.

The regime wants you to cower at home and cede the streets of your city to their control.

Literally nothing coming from the Pentagon, DHS, or DOJ should be considered credible unless backed up by an independent source outside of government. (This, for the record, is a huge problem!)

Those Epstein files must be a whopper. Shutting down the whole government and sending R Congressmen home for 4 weeks so far(paid, of course) just to avoid swearing in a new Congressmen.....

Sen. SCHIFF: Senator Durbin asked a very appropriate oversight question, and Pam Bondi’s response was to attack his character and insult him. Senator Whitehouse did the same with a perfectly legitimate oversight question, and Pam Bondi attacked him personally. Others, too.
