Vice President JD Vance is getting ready to weaponize the IRS.

Trump’s illegal meddling is one of the many reasons why millions of Americans will take to the streets on Saturday. We hope to see you there: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

So what? It wasn't like it was a paper bag filled with $50,000 in cash. No scandal here.

Don't let this story die. These are not little boys. This is not in any way acceptable. All these pathetic losers need to be condemned in the strongest language possible by ALL republicans and prevented from ANY political positions for life.

So much for that ‘Freedom of Speech’ thing…
The Trump admin has cancelled the visas of at least 6 people for comments made about the murder of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk.
The State Dept has expanded social media vetting during visa applications and has revoked thousands of student visas. 🧵

Cancellations represent escalating government-wide campaign to suppress criticism of rightwing influencer

President Trump honored Charlie Kirk w Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Kirk’s Turning Point USA's Professor Watch List posted names of professors. Some profs were fired, others harassed.

I’m on list.

What did I do to get on the list?
See for yourself.

OBAMA: “What if I sent the National Guard into Texas and said I don’t care what Governor Abbott says… and just kind of took over?”

Imagine that.

Fox News would’ve held a 96-hour emergency broadcast with 18 split screens and a countdown to “Tyranny Day.”

But when it’s Trump doing it? Crickets.

Wow. Trump's masked federal agents tear-gassed a crowd in Chicago and ended up gassing a bunch of local Chicago cops who were there to *deescalate tensions.* One local cop was captured on film washing out his eyes with a hose:

They’re freaking out!!!

Trump’s cabinet secretaries falsely claim Dems are keeping the government closed because of the “No Kings” mass protests, and Mike Johnson calls it the “hate America rally.”

The truth is: we love America, but we hate tyrants. That’s why we’re doing this.

See you Saturday.
