I had to listen to the audio to confirm it, but yes, as troops are being deployed to American cities, as masked goons are disappearing citizens from our streets, as ICE agents are shooting pepper balls at priests ... Mike Johnson thinks nude bicyclists are "the most threatening thing I've seen yet."

BREAKING

The US State Department has revoked the visas of citizens from Argentina, South Africa, Mexico, Brazil, Germany, and Paraguay for comments they made in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

- An Argentine national who said Charlie "devoted his entire life spreading racist, xenophobic, misogynistic rhetoric" and deserves to burn in hell.
- A South African national who mocked those grieving Charlie saying "they're hurt that the racist rally ended in attempted martyrdom"
-A Mexican national who said Charlie "died being a racist, he died being a misogynist" and stated that "there are people who deserve to die."
- A Brazilian national who said "Charlie Kirk was the reason for a Nazi rally where they marched in homage to him" and that he "DIED TOO LATE."
- A German national who celebrated Charlie's death + wrote
"when fascists die, democrats don't complain."
- A Paraguayan national who said "Charlie Kirk was a son of a b**** and he died by his own rules."

I'm not sure he could have stumbled into a better way to show typical Republican voters how much good Dems have done for their lives if he tried

Trump: "The Democrats are getting killed on the shutdown, because we're closing up programs that are Democrat programs that we were opposed to. And they're never gonna come back."

Drew Struzan was an iconic artist and designer, and that’s probably still an understatement. He was also an Oregonian in addition to being a Californian, born and raised in Oregon City.

I didn't hallucinate; that's a relief. Somebody on the Portland Fire reddit sub posted the screenshot of the now deleted social media post announcing new head coach Alex Sarama.

I wrote about Sarama at the link above.

Mike Johnson says Medicaid is "intended for vulnerable populations, the elderly, disabled, and young pregnant women, and not young able-bodied men without dependents who are playing video games."

But…able bodied young men aren’t ON Medicaid. And disabled and elderly folks are going to DIE if you cut this.

If a person looks at it with any sense, Netanyahu and Trump played a game with the hostages lives this last year so they both can be seen as heroes in the negotiated plan for their release. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Pamela Parkington @bigdogmomthree.bsky.social · 1d

It wasn't even his, it was Biden's and Blinken's negotiated plan.

When this shit show is over, there's a ton of accountability that needs to be done.

People better get right with their lord, because the end is not going to be pretty.
