Collins: Marjorie Taylor Greene—is she someone that you could see yourself working with?

AOC: On what? If she actually wants to support legislation and expanding healthcare… I'm more than open to doing that. But it's not just about talking the talk. We got to walk the walk.

Dark day for press freedom because they tried to direct & muzzle the press representing the nation & the world & DECREASE transparency on activities within the Pentagon. What remains is an internal press faction too busy kneeling & kissing the ring to report actual facts.
BRAVO, brave journalists 🗽🇺🇸

These quotes are beyond despicable and illustrate the rampant mental disease and moral decay in the Republican Party. The absolute priority is White Nationalism and the dominance of the male over the country and females and non-Whites.

In truth, they're protecting their entire lot of pedophiles & rapists. Which is why they shut down the gov't & will keep it shut down, hoping to gain full control in the interim.This is why ICE is intermittently instructed to increase the violence.They are manipulating citizens into full submission.

❤️Kai in Kanada🇨🇦 @kleinekin.bsky.social · 13d

Their entire group of "evil are us" is protecting a fucking pedophile - telling an entire world of children it's okay to rape and abuse women.

Every single airport and public space should refuse the administration’s lying propaganda videos! A contributor to this mess we are in is the fact that Fox News was played so ubiquitously in homes and public spaces, most notably in lobbies of (hospital & outpatient clinics), on military bases, etc.

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 1d

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.

It’s more important than “solidarity for integrity!” We cannot lose a free press. At present journalists are all we have.They have been called “the 4th estate”.
1,2 & 3 are out of commission. A free press is essential. We WILL get news! Journalists are also investigators! Thank God for them!

Progressive Independent @vigilantminority.bsky.social · 16h

I mean, solidarity for integrity is one thing, but this feels like a part of MAGA's plan. Lack of free press coverage means less accountability from the Pentagon. With Hegseth in charge, war crimes are probably around the corner. Or more incompetence, which might be more dangerous.

This needs to happen. But I'm floored that America is here.

It is an emergency and it should be taken up by the military to remove the current administration - they swore to the constitution and the admin is tearing apart their oath.

And killing America in the process
