When the government issues a declaration saying it believes it's protecting U.S. citizens by banning from the U.S. people who say unkind things about Charlie Kirk, but the same government *refuses* to ban from the U.S. people who say even worse things about living Democrats, it may be a legal issue.

I assume that every single journalist reading this understands that the *first question* to ask the State Department tomorrow morning is how quickly it will provide a list of foreign nationals banned from the United States for statements made about Democrats or Americans perceived to be left-leaning

BREAKING: Marco Rubio's State Department announces publicly that it is exercising unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination in revoking people's visas based on comments about the killing of Charlie Kirk.

The United States has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans.
The State Department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk. Here are just a few examples of aliens who are no longer welcome in the U.S.:

The government shutdown is forcing some hospitals to withdraw from a Medicare program that allows seriously ill patients to be treated at home — leading some facilities to move patients back in, filling up beds ahead of a busy flu season.

I don't have any inside info, and I'm not an expert, but Pete's paranoid and irrational behavior looks a lot like he's the one with a drug problem.

Himes: You know, it's the Pete Hegseth insecurity that requires a constant marination in testosterone and fraternity-boy macho bullshit that, at the end of the day, would be funny if it weren't both lethal and counterproductive to actually dealing with the nation's drug problem.

The people who thought it was fair and just to ruin lives over not being sad enough about Charlie will now view any suggestion that the Nazi chat buds should be bounced from the party as draconian and unnecessary.

Uh... so he's openly trying to rig a foreign election for a friend of his and a friend of his top donor—Musk—by saying that Argentinians will only get $20 billion dollars in American aid if they vote for Milei?

So this money Trump is stealing from US taxpayers is not to help Argentina, but his pal?

Who were the 6 people the Administration just killed without due process?

Were they children?

Were they victims of human trafficking?

WE DON’T KNOW—they refuse to show proof.

No one made Trump judge, jury & executioner. This is a gross violation of international human rights.

Trump: "You hear those sirens going off? That's good. A good sound. That means they either got the bad guy or they're gonna stop the bad guy. You didn't hear that sound bc nobody wanted to do anything. Listen to the beauty of that sound. That's the real deal sirens, not politically correct sirens"

Trump claims ICE’s reign of terror in Chicago is targeting the “worst of the worst.”

But out of the 1,000 undocumented immigrants that have swept up, the agency has only cited 10 men with a criminal background.

Don’t believe his lies for a second.
www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Trump says migrants drive violent crime in Illinois. But ICE can’t find many violent criminals.

Masked ICE agents and other federal forces showed up in Chicago to go after gangsters. Instead, they keep catching people who are just living their lives.

It's not just about stopping Trump. Do you really think that if Republicans keep control of Congress that they're going to certify an election in 2028 if they don't like the results?

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 4h

Frost: Trump knows that when they passed the big, ugly bill that rips away healthcare from 17 million people, you usually don’t win elections when you do something like that…

So instead of undoing that, he’s pressuring states to give him more seats.

What California is doing is responding to that

If the media won't report on it, we need to personally tell everyone we know. The msm is making themselves obsolete, and it's time we learned to bypass them.
