In 1787, John Adams defined a republic as "a government, in which all men, rich and poor, magistrates and subjects, officers and people, masters and servants, the first citizen and the last, are equally subject to the laws."

Jokes aside, is anyone questioning why this massive structure is being built directly on top of the President's bunker? And is it purely coincidental that Hitler did the exact same thing? (See "Vorbunker" & "Führerbunker") #Ballroom #Vorbunker #Fuhrerbunker

Today Trump declared that a "land action" is imminent in Venezuela, likely main land strikes, and that Colombia and Mexico are run by cartels and the US "needs to defend" itself, implying that he plans to violate Colombian and Mexican sovereignty and kill civilians.
Reminder: The only thing that has been definitively disproven in the Steele Dossier is Michael Cohen's reported trip to Prague. And Steele's original clients hired him to do oppositional research for Republicans not Democrats. We conveniently forget many facts in a 24-hour news cycle. #JackSmith

The plot for Donald Trump and Putin to meet in Hungary to try to extort Zelenskyy has fallen through. The Russian government wasn’t able to secure safe passage for the Kremlin Gremlin through any European country. The meeting was officially cancelled, leaving Trump and Orban with egg on their face.
Absolutely. They probably should have done so years ago.

BREAKING: A court ordered the Department of Defense to stop censoring educational materials discussing race and gender in schools on military bases.

Books removed from the schools must be returned to the shelves immediately.

Our country is unrecognizable today. Sadly, many of us saw this coming in 2016 if not earlier. Our leaders did not have the foresight, the conviction, the integrity, or the imagination to prepare us for it let alone to set us on a brighter path. No one is free of responsibility.
We Americans live in a country that doesn't even care about rape or pedophilia anymore, at least not when it comes to the most powerful people in the country

I am not over that, I cannot get over that, and I will never be able to get over that

How could one *ever* be proud of such a country again?

Ha! Most natural born citizens already couldn't pass these exams. 🙄 Trump certainly couldn't.

The Trump administration says more difficult questions, and other changes to the naturalization process, will ensure only immigrants who are "fully assimilated" will gain citizenship.
The test for U.S. citizenship is about to get harder

It's NEVER been about crime. It has ALWAYS been about head counts. Wake up, America! Reminder: "Unlawful Entry" is a CIVIL misdemeanor. #ICE #PrisonLabor
ICE IS DISAPPEARING PEOPLE TO WORK CAMPS

This is what ice is doing
George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

@timmiller.bsky.social talked to a veteran who ICE wrongly detained and brutalized
Not only is Dakich an embarrassment to all Hoosiers, but he & Clay Travis have been given free rein to spread whatever racist, homophobic, misogynistic bull**** they want. Sadly, Outkick used to be a sports talk show. Who told them anyone cared about their (extreme) personal politics? 🙄 #Dakich

This didn’t happen under Biden because he believed government should actually function on behalf of the people, not actively work against them in order to benefit the wealthy.
U.S. military leaders should be appalled, incredibly concerned by (& hopefully prepared to defy) POTUS' suggestion that they use American cities as their "training grounds." If ever there was a time to discuss the use of the 25th Amendment, it's now. #TrainingGrounds #25thAmendment
President Donald Trump suggested Tuesday that the military and National Guard should use their deployments to U.S. cities as “training grounds.”
