What do we do if they decide to shut us off from social media? It's a possibility we need to contemplate and come up with an alternative means.

The administration wants to investigate large liberal groups that raise money for Democrats and drive voter turnout.
Included on the list: ActBlue; Indivisible, a group organizing “No Kings” protests against Trump; the LA-based Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights; IfNotNow &Jewish Voice for Peace

www.reuters.com/legal/govern... While Trump has frequently blamed violence on left-wing groups, a second White House official noted that the president's directive does not mention them specifically and is aimed at disrupting organized political violence before it occurs

Apropos of nothing, once the President of the United States confirms covert CIA operations in a country… say, Venezuela, those operations are no longer covert.

And it puts CIA officers at significantly more risk.

Huh??! Trump may launch missiles from warships into California?! WTAF?! (I had to re-read this thing, to make sure I got it right.)

He needs to be removed from office, and arrested. He is crazy, mentally ill, dangerous. And this plan of his, beyond being utterly ridiculous, is absolutely insane! 😳

Please repost this far and wide. This is utter insanity for someone who's supposed to be protecting ALL states. Instead, he wants to send missiles to us in California because he hates our state. Someone please grow a pair and invoke the #25thAmendmentNOW
