Nick Fuentes says the leaked Young Republican chats prove that "everyone's a groyper now," but they have to do a better job of hiding their real views: "These guys were doing a great thing ... The mistake that they made is that they were sloppy." www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

He's cutting services to Americans left and right, and sending a fortune to his pal in Argentina & other personal allies. He deserves being impeached & convicted of a laundry list of crimes, but the MAGA 6 Justices resolutely look the other way. #ProudBlue

“What’s the benefit for 🇺🇸 in sending $20 BILLION to Argentina?”🤔

Trump says he just really likes their philosophy and will only send the $20 Billion if his pal Milei wins.

Imagine not being able to see this blatant corruption for what it is. (While our farmers struggle)

These strikes are illegal for about 7 reasons:
1. Not self-defense
2. No (or any) Congressional authorization
3. No evidence of criminal wrongdoing
4. Occurred in int'l waters
5. No open state of hostilities
6. Criminal groups are not terrorists legally
7. No id on people killed or group targeted

There is no place for partisan political videos from the govt being blasted in airports attacking the opposition party. That is what authoritarian regimes do. This should not be a partisan issue - it is fundamentally un-American.

This is a program to resettle neo-Nazis in the US.

“Trump Considers Overhaul of Refugee System That Would Favor White People
The proposals would transform a program aimed at helping the most vulnerable people in the world into one that gives preference to mostly white people who say they are being persecuted.”

“The proposals also advise Mr. Trump to prioritize Europeans who have been “targeted for peaceful expression of views online such as opposition to mass migration or support for ‘populist’ political parties.”
That appeared to be a reference to the European far-right political party Alternative for Germany, whose leaders have trivialized the Holocaust, revived Nazi slogans and denigrated foreigners. Vice President JD Vance has criticized Germany for trying to suppress the views of the group, which is known as the AfD.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson insisted Tuesday that he would not swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva until Democrats relent and end the government shutdown.

Grijalva, speaking alongside Democrats, including Sen. Mark Kelly, on Wednesday, said the delay “is not procedural. It’s intentional.” 🧵

50501: The People’s Movement ❌👑 @50501movement.bsky.social · 11h

The secret power of a people’s movement is that it’s random.

It’s neighbors protecting immigrants from ICE. It’s millions canceling Disney+. It’s a man throwing a sandwich. It’s inflatable frogs dancing.

Dictators struggle to fight a movement, because they can’t do what they want most—control us.
