Nothing says "I Hate America" quite like Americans exercising their freedom of speech and assembly, guaranteed by the American Constitution, to express the very American idea of rejecting kings, the way the American founders did in 1776, right?

Yesterday was the Q3 FEC deadline. That means we found out how much money my opponents raised and who donated to them.

So how did we do? Well…

I'm old enough to remember how conservatives freaked out over defacing the flag.

Now they put a Nazi swastika on it and noticing that is "pearl clutching," according to JD Vance.

Hanging on the wall in Ohio Republican Congressman Dave Taylors office.

His aide, Angelo Elia, was so used to having it there he forgot to take it down before hosting a Zoom.

We warned you, this is who they are.

This entire Trump regime is always putting Americans in danger and thinking up scheme after scheme to upset and derail blue portions of America. I-5 is a major artery from Canada to Mexico. Why not shoot their missels in the Mojave desert? Because they are trying to hurt the No Kings rally people.

Putting warships off the coast and firing live ammunition in such a way that the only thoroughfare connecting LA and San Diego has to be shut down can only be viewed as provocative. It's something a small man resorts to to make himself feel powerful

It's weird how there was no press announcement or even confirmation for this until the day before it's to take place.

Seems like the Marines' 250th anniversary should've been more than an afterthought.

And what's the deal with firing live missiles at the coast?

Outside of fans of a winning sports team, who throws a parade together in a few days' time?

Clearly, the Marines' 250th anniversary is being used as a pretext for something far more sinister than a parade.

Steve Rios, a Marine from Oceanside, California, told NBC 7 San Diego that his parents, Esteban Rios and Luisa Rodriguez, were taken into custody late last month while picking up his pregnant sister, Ashley Rios, and her husband, who is also a Marine, at Camp Pendleton.

This family visit to Camp Pendleton ended with ICE deporting a Marine's dad

Parents of a U.S. Marine were detained by federal immigration officials and one of them was later deported after visiting family members at Camp Pendleton.

Let's get @ginafortexas.bsky.social the attention she deserves.

She's running for governor of Texas.

She's running for us. She's not running to keep the billionaires in power. (Greg Abbott is, tho.)

Gina Hinojosa @ginafortexas.bsky.social · 1d

I’m running for governor.

For over a decade, Greg Abbott has made it easier for billionaires to profit while hardworking Texans struggle to afford groceries, housing, and healthcare.

But together, we can make Texas work for Texans again.
