This isn’t law and order—this is intimidation. It doesn’t protect our communities; it undermines them.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

The Dem lawmakers who made the video Trump is flipping out about issued a joint statement.
“What’s most telling is that the President considers it punishable by death for us to restate the law. Our servicemembers should know that we have their backs as they fulfill their oath to the Constitution."

The morning after Trump won the 2024 election, he called his top fundraiser and said: “I want you to keep going." He has since raised nearly $2 billion for political operations, nonprofit causes, and his library, Michael Scherer and Ashley Parker report. theatln.tc/OUxbL3SH

From @propublica.org: stories of the Venezuelans, none of them criminals, who were picked in a made-for-TV raid on an apartment building in Chicago that used blackhawk helicopters and military tactics
1/ The night of the raid, Jonahyker López awoke to the sound of a helicopter over his building and federal agents yelling, “Open the door!” López told me he sat on the edge of his bed, wishing that his own door would become invisible. But the door came down and agents burst in. 🧵

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. There’s no vote required if he wants to release them!
The only reason the house was voting was because he refused.
This is an obviously cynical ploy and major news outlets are running whole pieces without pointing this out. He could release them tonight.

If he has nothing to hide he doesn’t need a House vote. He can just release everything.

This is real. A government agency calling Americans performing their democratic right of protest “imbecilic morons.” This Trump regime is a poison and never should have gotten power. A total disgrace.
