"It is ridiculous that antifa has become this boogeyman. If they're going to tell us they are going to find the founder of Antifa, isn't the founder of Antifa...Winston Churchill? FDR? Didn't they lead a war against fascism? Wasn't that anti-fascism?" - me

A friend in DC had a Zoom call with Congressman Dave Taylor's office today...
Taylor's legislative correspondent, Angelo Elia, had what can only be described as an American swastika flag prominently displayed in his background.

Supercut of comments from Republicans today alone about the No Kings rallies taking place this weekend. This has to be some of the worst, and most anti-American, coordinated messaging of all time.

Rep Steve Scalise may actually be at least partially right about the No Kings protests being "Hate America" protests after all.
Just not how he thinks he's right...

🚨IRS, FBI, Federal Marshals, MPD, DEA, ICE, HLS, and ATF here to “investigate” this woman. Suspicious for being black? The regime has made their white supremacism clear. The time for us to reject it is NOW!

The VA acknowledges that dad’s death was service related as a result of his exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam. Give thanks & appreciation to service members and veterans. The impact to them & their families can last long after their service ends.

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.
